Meta updates AI glasses to halt recording when privacy light is obscured
Meta is rolling out a fix that stops the camera on its AI glasses from recording if the LED indicator light is covered during capture, addressing a loophole that allowed surreptitious recording. The company says the update ensures the light reliably alerts bystanders, though tampering remains possible. Privacy regulators in the EU are investigating the glasses, and Germany is considering a ban over privacy concerns.
