How to stop Meta training its AI models on your smart glasses' visual data

Meta has introduced a privacy setting that allows users of its Ray-Ban smart glasses to opt out of having their visual data used to train the company's artificial intelligence models. Previously, Meta utilized photos and videos captured by these devices to improve its AI systems, a process that often involved human reviewers. By navigating to the settings menu within the Meta View app, users can now disable the 'Improve AI' feature. This change ensures that future captures are not processed or stored for model training purposes. The move comes amid increasing scrutiny regarding how tech giants handle user data for generative AI development. While this update provides more control over personal information, Meta notes that it may take some time for the changes to fully propagate across their systems. Users concerned about privacy are encouraged to review their settings to ensure their visual data remains excluded from Meta's training pipelines.
