Meta Tests Always-On 'Super Sensing' AI Glasses, Fueling Privacy Debate

Meta is developing prototype AI glasses, dubbed "super sensing," that use cameras and microphones to continuously record a wearer's surroundings. Referred to internally by codenames such as "SSG" (supersensing glasses) and "Artemis," the devices capture video and audio continuously or on an ambient basis and feed the data into AI systems to power memory assistance, contextual reminders and multimodal AI interactions. At the same time, the prospect of always-on recording has triggered debate inside and outside the company over how to handle novel privacy challenges. Report
