Meta、LEDの改ざんで録画を無効化——その一方で常時キャプチャを推進
metaはray-banスマートグラスを更新し、ユーザーがLEDインジケーターを改ざんすると録画が無効になるようにした。隠密監視への懸念への対応だが、AIトレーニング用により多くのユーザーデータを収集する連続録画機能の新たなテストとは矛盾する動きとなっている。
meta rolled out a security update for its ray-ban smart glasses that hardcodes a system shutdown if the privacy-led indicator is covered or disabled, preventing covert recording. the update follows reports of users manipulating the hardware to record individuals surreptitiously, turning the consumer device into a surveillance tool. concurrently, meta is testing prototypes capable of continuous audio capture and photos every few seconds, and is expanding ai training on user photos unless users opt out. this contradiction highlights a growing tension between meta's hardware privacy assurances and its aggressive strategy to harvest personal data for generative ai models.
