Meta is reportedly working on facial recognition for its AI glasses

Meta is reportedly reviving its interests in facial recognition technology for its upcoming smart glasses, with a feature known as "super sensing" that can identify bystanders’ faces. This has raised concerns about privacy, especially since those being scanned may not be aware, as the current models signal recording with a light. Despite the opt-in requirement for users, the potential for misuse and lack of transparency poses significant privacy challenges. This revival of technology comes amid Meta’s broader updates to its privacy policies.

"Meta has recently discussed adding software to its smart glasses that scans bystanders' faces and identifies people by name."

"The feature would build on the glasses' live AI feature, which can only remain active for around half an hour (thanks to its battery)."
