Meta has confirmed that any images or videos shared with its Ray-Ban Meta AI can be used to train its artificial intelligence models. This policy applies in regions where multimodal AI is available, such as the US and Canada. While photos and videos captured on the Ray-Ban Meta glasses are not used for training unless submitted to the AI, once users request analysis, those images fall under different privacy guidelines. This raises concerns about user privacy, as individuals may unknowingly provide Meta with sensitive images, including personal spaces and loved ones. Meta's recent rollout of new AI features encourages users to interact more with the AI, potentially increasing the amount of data collected for training purposes. The company has also introduced a live video analysis feature that continuously streams images to its AI models. Meta's privacy policy explicitly states that interactions with AI features can be used for training, and users must opt out by not using these features. Additionally, Meta retains transcriptions of voice conversations with the Ray-Ban Meta, although users can choose to opt out of voice recording usage for AI training. This situation echoes past privacy concerns associated with wearable technology, reminiscent of issues raised during the Google Glass era.

the quest does interior room mapping of all spaces with every available sensor. user doesn't have to be actively engaged so long as the device is still on and logged in, they've already waived any rights, this is why sleep vs powering off is a such a konnundrum and the device will try to stay in standby mode at all costs.
not sure were this data goes tbh. so far only seems to be internal.
