Meta contractor fires 1,100 AI trainers after they revealed Ray-Ban glasses recorded private and intimate footage
The same firm that helped train ChatGPT is now at the center of Meta's smart glasses privacy scandal
The glasses include an AI assistant that requires recording audio and video, some of which becomes AI training data. Human contractors scan and label material that AI struggles with.
Meta states that its terms of service explain these details, and the glasses require explicit user permission to engage AI mode. Nonetheless, Sama employees reported that the glasses recorded banking information, private conversations, people naked in bathrooms, and intimate encounters.
