## Summary

US senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey are investigating privacy and safety risks linked to Meta’s AI smart glasses. They say the company released the glasses despite identifying risks to bystanders, and cite reports of people being secretly filmed and footage of intimate situations being reviewed by contractors.

The senators have asked Meta about accidental recording, tampering with recording indicators, face and number-plate blurring, and how captured images are accessed or used to train AI. They also want details of safety testing and human-rights reviews before launch, with answers requested by 26 November 2026. Other reported concerns include conversations recorded without consent after a software update and use of the glasses by immigration agents.
