JAKARTA - Meta is causing a stir again! This technology giant company is reportedly developing facial recognition technology to be embedded in its smart glasses. Its function? Can immediately recognize people around and name them! But what worries me: people whose faces are scanned cannot choose to refuse.
According to a recent report, Meta is seriously considering adding facial recognition features to its super sophisticated AI glasses. In fact, they also plan to immerse similar features into AI-capable earbuds with a built-in camera called "Camerabuds."
This feature is called based on Ray-Ban Meta's AI Live technology. Internally, Meta calls it super sensing, aka the super ability to recognize the faces around.

Although this feature is optional for glasses users, but for other people who do not use the device, there is no option to refuse their face scanned. Even crazier, Meta is said to have considered disabling the LED lights for active camera markers when this feature is used, which means people around will not know if they are being recorded or recognized!
Previously, Meta had indeed considered facial recognition features for the first version of its smart glasses, but at that time it was canceled due to privacy pressure. Now, it seems they are ready to go further.
Not only that, in April Meta also updated its privacy policy. Now, AI will be automatically active in smart glasses, and users will have to manually turn off the Hey Meta! feature if you don't want to continue to be monitored. What's worse? Users can't refuse if their voice recordings are used to train AI Meta.
