Meta won't say whether it trains AI on smart glasses photos | TechCrunch

Update: Meta responded to TechCrunch with more information about when it trains AI on Ray-Ban Meta photos, and when it doesn't. You can read about that

In a previous emailed statement, a spokesperson clarified that photos and videos captured on Ray-Ban Meta are not used by Meta for training as long as the user doesn’t submit them to AI. However, once you ask Meta AI to analyze them, those photos fall under a completely different set of policies.

In other words, the company is using its first consumer AI device to create a massive stockpile of data that could be used to create ever-more powerful generations of AI models. The only way to “opt out” is to simply not use Meta’s multimodal AI features in the first place.

    The only way to “opt out” is to simply not use Meta’s multimodal AI features in the first place.

    And to never have the misfortune of walking through the field of vision of someone wearing one of these.

      This is what’s baffling. How TF is it legal for them to do whatever they want with my personage because someone I’ve never met before signed a ToS without reading it?

        This is how Facebook has operated for well over a decade now, they have profiles and data on many people who don’t use Facebook and they’ve gotten away with it, so why would they stop now.

    We’re finally getting the cool tech of sci-fi from my youth, but they’ve managed to make all of it Orwellian, and undesirable. Fucking bummer, dude.

      I’m assuming you’re talking about Orion? Because that’s still years away, if they ever end up shipping at all. Meta has the tendency to promise a lot.

    These articles are so depressing because they really piss off at most about 1% of the population. The rest are OK with the way things are going.
