Meta’s AI glasses have been the target of increasing backlash across borders over safety and privacy concerns [File]

Meta is fixing a loophole that allowed wearers of its AI smart glasses to secretly record others without consent.
Meta’s new AI smart glasses feature a white light sensor that starts blinking when the wearer is taking a photo or video through their device, letting people nearby know they are being recorded. If blocked, the camera is automatically disabled.
However, some users have bypassed this control by starting a recording and then covering up the sensor.
Meta’s AR VP Alex Himel announced on Threads that a new update would increase the reliability of the capture LED on Meta’s AI glasses, and that the camera would stop working if the light is covered while recording.
