Summary
Meta has updated its privacy policy for its Ray-Ban Meta glasses, expanding the scope of voice recordings it can store and use to train its AI models, similar to Amazon's recent shift to cloud-based processing. By default enabling AI features, the company now collects speech after users activate "Hey Meta," storing up to one year of data without a removal option. While this enhances AI capabilities, it raises privacy concerns as users may not fully understand how their personal audio might be used. This move mirrors Meta's previous actions on other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, where user-generated content fuels AI training.
