Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event clearly involves an AI system—the AI assistant integrated into Meta's smart glasses that automatically processes and transmits data including video and audio recordings. The use of this AI system has directly led to harm in the form of violations of privacy and human rights, as private and sensitive moments are recorded and reviewed without informed consent. This meets the criteria for an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly caused harm to individuals' rights and privacy, a breach of obligations under applicable law protecting fundamental rights.[AI generated]
