Voice assistant activates without request

Some Ray-Ban smart glasses were reported to record conversations even when their owners did not ask the voice assistant to activate.

Meta claims issue is resolved

Meta, the company behind the glasses, says it has fixed the problem but has not shared details about what caused it or how widespread it was.

Privacy concerns remain

Despite the claim, the incident has not eased concerns about how private user data is handled by Meta's products.

Public trust is a challenge

Users are increasingly cautious about the data collected by wearable technology and how it is used by companies like Meta.

Regulatory attention grows

Regulators and consumer advocates are paying closer attention to how companies design and manage voice-activated devices.
