Watch out – your Ray-Ban smart glasses photos are helping to train Meta AI

RayBan Meta Smart Glasses.

If you use your Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses all the time you might want to be careful of what you're snapping pictures of, and what you're asking Meta AI, through them, as Meta has confirmed that it may use these visual and audio inputs to train its smart assistant.

That’s by its own admission, in a statement it sent to TechCrunch in which Meta’s policy communications manager Emil Vazquez explained that “Images and videos shared with Meta AI may be used to improve it per our Privacy Policy.”

It’s worth highlighting that Meta only trains its AI on images and videos that you share with it – such as through the Look and Ask feature which has the glasses take a picture which it uses to contextualize a request like “Look and tell more about this landmark” or “Look and translate this sign.”
