AI Summary

Meta is releasing an update for its AI‑powered smart glasses that patches a privacy loophole which let users continue recording after the front‑facing LED was covered. The fix makes the camera automatically stop recording whenever the light is blocked. Alex Himel, Meta’s vice president of augmented reality, announced the change in a post on Threads. This adjustment is part of Meta’s effort to address concerns about the glasses’ “pervert glasses” reputation.
