"Footage of people having sex, on the toilet, and undressing is among that recorded using Meta glasses and then viewed by subcontractors in Kenya working to train the product's AI functions, according to reporting from Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) and Goteborgs-Posten (GP). Speaking anonymously to the outlets, the subcontractors said they did not believe people knew the glasses were recording when such footage was filmed."
"In some cases, Meta will review your interactions with AIs, including the content of your conversations with or messages to AIs, and this review may be automated or manual (human)."
Meta faces scrutiny from the UK's data watchdog after reports revealed that private and intimate footage recorded on its AI smart glasses is being viewed by outsourced workers. Subcontractors in Kenya working to train the product's AI functions have accessed footage of people having sex, using toilets, and undressing. These workers reported that individuals being recorded were likely unaware the glasses were recording. Meta's terms acknowledge that human reviewers may examine interactions with AIs, but the company did not respond to requests for comment. The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has written to Meta seeking clarification on how the company is meeting its data protection obligations.
