Meta and facial recognition in smart glasses

Meta is reportedly working on integrating facial recognition into its smart glasses. According to reports, the feature, internally called "Name Tag," would allow wearers to identify people they meet and obtain information about them via Meta's AI assistant.

Privacy implications

The introduction of facial recognition technology raises important privacy concerns. The ability to identify and obtain information about people in real-time could raise concerns about the collection, storage, and use of personal data. It remains to be seen how Meta intends to address these issues and what measures it will take to ensure the protection of the privacy of users and identified individuals.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these options.
