Meta's new "smart" or AI glasses, designed to look like classic Ray-Bans, are facing scrutiny for enabling surreptitious recording and potentially infringing on privacy, despite booming sales.

• Meta's glasses reportedly account for over 80% of AI/smart glasses sales, with seven million pairs sold to date.
• Women are reportedly being filmed without consent and only discovering the videos online, facing limited legal recourse due to public photography laws.
• Despite privacy concerns, leading to lawsuits and reports of graphic content viewed by data reviewers, Apple and Snap are also preparing to launch similar products, echoing past privacy issues associated with Google Glass.
