A new lawsuit is raising concerns over privacy and advertising claims tied to Meta\u2019s AI smart glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attorney Ryan Clarkson of Clarkson Law Firm joined \u201cThe John Curley Show\u201d on KIRO Newsradio to discuss a legal battle over the glasses, which look like standard Ray-Bans but can record video and audio while interacting with Meta\u2019s AI chatbot, LLaMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clarkson explained that footage from these glasses is sent to workers overseas, who can view sensitive moments, including nudity and personal documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people knew that they were getting a product where the video being captured was sent halfway across the world, and others were looking at that, then they knew the privacy claim was false, they wouldn\u2019t have paid extra for that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that Meta engaged in false advertising and violated consumer privacy laws, claiming buyers overpaid for a product that promised privacy.<\/p>\n

Private moments viewed abroad, buyers misled<\/h2>\n

\u201cThese companies are scraping everyone\u2019s personal information, their expressions of personhood, and in some cases, their copyrighted works; that\u2019s what our Google case is all about,\u201d Clarkson said, drawing comparisons to earlier cases his firm filed against OpenAI and Google for data scraping without consent.<\/p>\n

Clarkson also highlighted the legal challenges posed by AI: laws often lag behind technology, leaving public interest lawyers to hold companies accountable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the complexity, Clarkson believes the case is straightforward in its core principle: consumers were misled about privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like a classic case of false advertising,\u201d he said, urging anyone who purchased the glasses to learn their legal rights and potentially join the case.<\/p>\n
