Amazon and Meta Face Privacy Concerns Over AI-Powered Wearables
Amazon and Meta are facing renewed privacy concerns over their AI-powered wearables. Multiple Reddit users reported that Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses were recording audio without the wake phrase enabled, capturing conversations without the trigger that signals the wearer actually wants them listening. Meta acknowledged the problem and fixed it. The company also announced a new feature called 'Private Processing' to strengthen protection for audio data collected by its smart glasses. Legal experts warn that always-listening devices may violate state wiretap laws that require consent from every party before a communication is intercepted.
