Meta Confirms It Will Use Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Images for AI Training

Meta has confirmed that it may use images analyzed by its Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses for AI training. The policy applies to users in the United States and Canada who share images with Meta AI, according to the company. While photos captured on the device are not used for training unless submitted to AI, any image shared for analysis falls under different policies, potentially contributing to Meta's AI model development.

Can I opt out?

[bjwest]

If I can't opt out of this, I'll not even consider purchasing this thing. Not that I was considering anything from Meta, but this will make it a definite no.

"However, once you ask Meta AI to analyze them, those photos fall under a completely different set of policies."

If you only use it as a camera or if you only use it with local AI like I-XRAY you won't opt in.

You're not as at-risk as the people you point them at. Can folks in the path of your doxx-o-vision opt out of having their data sent to Meta?

So much for useful AI

[ddtmm]

And there we go, the end of useful AI. Won't be long before ads for useless products flood AI and make it the paid biased crap that review sites have become. I expected the enshitification, but not this fast.

Generative AI as we know it today has its roots in SEO spam article generation.

I refuse to be subjected to this

[haxor.dk]

I will not be in a room with a person wearing these spying devices, especially knowing that Meta is amongst the most rotten and careless companies when it comes to what they do with our personal data and identifying information. You betcha your face and voiceprint will be up for sale on the data brokerages within the day.

I'd tell them to take it off, or get out.

As Vader says...

I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further.

I'll do the same thing that I did during G-Glass

[vrhelmutt]

I'll kindly ask they take the goofy looking sh*t off and if they refuse, I will kick them out of my business (as with Google Glass), terminate pending deals (Torched and ethernet install years ago) and generally single that person out in public as loudly as possible (I got thrown out of a B-Sides conference LOL). Scorched earth strategy, group buy as many as possible and put them in a room with a Rick Roll 24/7 playing
