The UK data watchdog is writing to Meta following a "concerning" report claiming outsourced workers were able to view sensitive content filmed by the company's AI smart glasses.
Meta said subcontracted workers might sometimes review content, including films and images, captured by its AI smart glasses for the purpose of improving the "experience".
Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based Meta subcontractor, according to an investigation by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) and Goteborgs-Posten (GP).
"We see everything - from living rooms to naked bodies," one worker reportedly said.
Meta said it took the protection of people's data very seriously, and was constantly refining its efforts and tools in that area.
