Meta and Ray-Ban's Smart Glasses Enable Real-Time Facial Recognition, Raising Privacy Concerns
Oct 2, 2024, 01:33 PM
Meta's smart glasses, in collaboration with Ray-Ban, have been equipped with real-time facial recognition capabilities, allowing users to identify strangers in public and access their personal information. This technology, developed by an IXRAY pipeline, can gather data such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and place of work by simply looking at a person's face. The glasses send the captured face to a facial recognition tool, which then uses a language model to infer the name and retrieve additional information from the internet. This development has raised significant privacy concerns as it enables instant doxing of individuals.
