Meta AI Glasses Lawsuit: Bystanders Recorded Without Consent

A new class action lawsuit against Meta's AI glasses now includes people who were recorded without their consent. What started as a consumer fraud case has expanded to cover anyone captured by these glasses. The original lawsuit claimed Meta falsely marketed the glasses as "designed for privacy." It alleged recorded audio and video were routed through human review without buyers knowing. The amended complaint now extends to bystanders, including faces, voices, and bodies allegedly captured and used to train Meta's AI systems. Specific scenarios cited in the filing include intimate sexual encounters and children being bathed. The potential class includes household members, strangers, and minors. Ryan Clarkson, co-lead counsel, stated the amendment adds "the human beings on the other side of the glasses" to the litigation. This shifts the focus from a product complaint to a surveillance complaint. This case highlights a growing concern about what AI devices owe to people who never agreed to be recorded.
