Meta launches camera-free AI glasses amid privacy pushback
Meta unveiled several new wearables powered by its artificial intelligence (AI) models on Wednesday, including an audio-only, camera-free version of its smart glasses, amid global concerns about privacy and the filming of women and girls without their consent. The audio-only versions will complement the release of dozens of new smart glasses models that keep the video filming option.
Meta introduced a new line of AI-powered wearables at its Connect conference, including a camera-free version of its smart glasses. The audio-only glasses aim to address privacy concerns surrounding recording devices on wearable tech. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that most of the world's 2 billion current glasses-wearers will soon upgrade to AI-enabled versions.
The new AI assistant, Muse, allows users to perform tasks like booking appointments and making calls through voice commands. Meta has also unveiled next-generation display and mixed reality glasses, with the latter featuring a lighter design and external battery. The company faces scrutiny over child safety and privacy issues, having recently settled a lawsuit for up to $18 billion.
