Title: Meta's AI Display Glasses Reportedly Share Intimate Videos With Human
Moderators

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Engadget: Users of Meta's AI smart
glasses in Europe may be unknowingly sharing intimate video and sensitive
financial information with moderators outside of the bloc, according to a
report from Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet released last week. Employees in Kenya
doing AI "annotation" told the journalists that they've seen people nude,
using the toilet and engaging in sexual activity, along with credit card
numbers and other sensitive information. With Meta's Ray-Ban Display and
other glasses with AI capabilities, users can record what they're looking at
or get answers to questions via a Meta AI assistant. If a wearer wants to
make use of that AI, though, they must agree to Meta's terms of service that
allow any data captured to be reviewed by humans. That's because Meta's large
language models (LLMs) often require people to annotate visual data so that
the AI can understand it and build its training models. This data can end up
in places like Nairobi, Kenya, often moderated by underpaid workers. Such
actions are subject to Europe's GDPR rules that require transparency about
how personal data is processed, according to a data protection lawyer cited
in the report. However, Svenska Dagbladet's reporters said they needed to
jump through some hoops to see Meta's privacy policy for its wearable
products. That policy states that either humans or automated systems may
review sensitive data, and puts the onus on the user to not share sensitive
information.
