Meta is building glasses that passively capture audio and images on a loop, feeding an on-device AI assistant. This transforms wearables from tools users actively operate into persistent environmental recorders—a shift that reframes privacy and consent. Unlike smartphones, where recording is deliberate, these glasses normalize ambient surveillance as a feature. Bystanders face new exposure, and regulators will demand answers on consent and disclosure. Existing glasses companies, including Ray-Ban with Meta, have mostly avoided these questions by requiring manual recording triggers.
