At a time when smart glasses<\/a> are raising the biggest security concerns, we can look at the case of the new Solos and their curious Privacy Kit, Meta is, as far as we know, developing a new smart glasses prototype with \u201csuper-sensing\u201d functions capable of recording each and every moment we experience<\/strong>. According to the Financial Times, Meta\u2019s glasses take photos every few seconds and record audio constantly, then allowing us to ask the company\u2019s artificial intelligence about any detail of what we\u2019ve seen or heard. An idea that has its appeal, we have to admit, but that raises very important questions about our privacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A complete record of our day-to-day<\/h2>\n\n

As far as we know, instead of directly storing the recordings, Meta would extract the metadata from the photos and the audio to upload it to its servers and analyze it with AI<\/strong>. That way we could ask the system to remind us where we left the keys or what they told us in a meeting. This approach, according to those behind it, reduces the impact on privacy, although the idea of having a device constantly recording doesn\u2019t go away. Especially when you consider what kind of metadata is collected and where it is processed before ending up on Meta\u2019s servers.<\/p>\n\n

On top of that, the company is considering using the information collected to train its artificial intelligence models<\/a> and improve its services<\/strong>. Google, which doesn\u2019t even remotely collect information so exhaustively, is already making headlines by using our information to train its AI, so Meta\u2019s intention isn\u2019t something we can take lightly.<\/p>\n\n

Anything else? Although it\u2019s still a prototype, the Financial Times says that Meta has presented a system capable of analyzing our emotions based on voice, gestures, and context<\/strong>. The potential is enormous and promises more interactive experiences, although the idea of being under constant observation is, to put it bluntly, quite scary.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
