What Happened
Meta has patented a new artificial intelligence device that is designed to track users' emotions and monitor whether they are taking their medication. The patent filing details a system that could potentially analyze a user's emotional state and adherence to prescribed treatments.
In parallel, Meta has addressed a specific privacy concern regarding its smart glasses. The company announced that it will disable the camera functionality on its smart glasses if a user attempts to tamper with or disable the recording LED indicator. This measure is intended to ensure that users are aware when the camera is active.
This development occurs amidst a broader conversation about privacy in wearable technology. For instance, Solos has launched new smart glasses that include an optional privacy shield for the camera, offering users a physical way to obscure the lens. However, despite Meta's efforts to address the recording LED issue, some privacy concerns regarding its smart glasses remain unresolved.
