You agreed to this: Meta CTO on private video use

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth asserted that users actively consent to their smart glasses' captured content being used for AI training, framing it as a user choice. He explained that data leaving the device requires user opt-in, whether for cloud storage or AI processing.

However, the article disputes this, noting that consent is buried in terms of service and not clearly communicated. A significant concern is that activating the glasses with the "Hey Meta" voice prompt automatically sends data to servers for review, a fact not intuitively understood by users.

Furthermore, revelations indicate human reviewers are accessing sensitive footage, including explicit material, captured accidentally or intentionally by the devices. Despite these reports and privacy concerns raised by various groups, Meta has largely remained silent, with Bosworth emphasizing user control.
