Meta isn’t exactly known for keeping your data safe. Meta, like a handful of other tech companies, is primarily in the advertising business. It wants to sell personalized ads to other companies for placement on its social media platforms, tailored to you using the data it collects.<\/p>\n

Although the brand heavily markets these wearables as “AI glasses,” I’m really not interested in putting Meta’s AI on my face. To a degree, AI is built directly into Meta smart glasses, but there are a few things you can do to avoid accidental interactions and unwanted data sharing.<\/p>\n

Specifically, Meta glasses have “Hey Meta” and “OK Meta” wake words that activate the voice assistant when uttered. Any content captured or recorded during a Meta AI session may be used for training purposes or even be manually reviewed by humans. For this reason, you don’t want Meta AI to be accidentally activated when your smart glasses think you’ve said “Hey Meta” or “OK Meta.”<\/p>\n
