Meta is embedding its AI assistant directly on Ray-Ban Meta glasses hardware, meaning user requests process locally without transmitting to Meta's servers. This is a privacy differentiation in the wearables market where continuous audio and video capture have made data collection standard. It hedges against regulatory pressure on always-listening devices and distinguishes Meta's hardware from competitors relying on cloud-only AI, though the privacy claim rests on what data the glasses still collect and how Meta audits the on-device processing.
