Smart glasses promise a future where technology blends into everyday life. You can ask a question, snap a quick video or identify what you are looking at in seconds. It sounds convenient. However, a new investigation suggests the experience may come with a privacy tradeoff many users never expected.

According to an investigation by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten, contractors reviewing AI data in Nairobi, Kenya, may have seen highly personal footage captured by Meta's AI-powered smart glasses. In some cases, the videos reportedly showed bathroom visits, sexual activity and other intimate moments.

The allegations have already sparked legal action and renewed debate about how AI systems are trained.

The investigation focused on people who work as AI annotators. These workers review images, video or audio so artificial intelligence systems can better understand what they are processing. In simple terms, they help train the AI. Workers interviewed for the report said they sometimes review video captured by Meta's smart glasses. According to the investigation, the footage can include extremely personal scenes recorded in everyday environments. One annotator told reporters they see everything from living rooms to naked bodies. Another worker said faces are supposed to be blurred automatically in the footage. However, the blurring reportedly fails at times, leaving some identities visible. In some clips, workers also said they could see credit cards or other sensitive details.

Many people assume AI systems learn entirely on their own. In reality, human reviewers often play a major role in training them. AI annotators help label what appears in images, identify spoken words and verify whether an AI response is correct. Without that human input, the system struggles to improve. Meta's smart glasses include an AI assistant that answers questions about what a user is seeing. For example, a wearer might ask the glasses to identify a landmark or explain what an object is. To make those answers accurate, the system sometimes relies on training data reviewed by humans.

Meta says media captured by its smart glasses remains on the user's device unless the user chooses to share it.

A Meta spokesperson provided the following statement to CyberGuy:

"Ray-Ban Meta glasses help you use AI, hands free, to answer questions about the world around you. Unless users choose to share media they've captured with Meta or others, that media stays on the user's device. When people share content with Meta AI, we sometimes use contractors to review this data for the purpose of improving people's experience, as many other companies do. We take steps to filter this data to protect people's privacy and to help prevent identifying information from being reviewed."

Ray-Ban Meta glasses include an LED indicator light that activates whenever photos or videos are recorded, helping signal to people nearby that content is being captured. The company's terms of service also state that users are responsible for following applicable laws and using the glasses in a safe and respectful manner. That includes avoiding activities such as harassment, infringing on privacy rights or recording sensitive information.

Meta has also been in contact with Sama, a company that provides AI data annotation services. According to information shared by Meta, Sama said it is not aware of workflows where sexual or objectionable content is reviewed or where faces or sensitive details remain consistently unblurred. Meta is continuing to investigate the matter.

The controversy arises as Meta has expanded the capabilities of its AI glasses. The glasses, created with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, include a camera and an AI assistant that responds to voice questions. Sales have surged. The company reportedly sold more than 7 million pairs in 2025, a dramatic increase compared with earlier years. At the same time, Meta updated its privacy policies. One change keeps the AI camera features active unless users turn off the Hey Meta voice command. Another removes the ability to opt out of storing voice recordings in the cloud. For privacy advocates, those changes make the investigation more troubling.

FACIAL RECOGNITION GLASSES TURN EVERYDAY LIFE INTO CREEPY PRIVACY NIGHTMARE

If you use smart glasses or similar wearable technology, the report highlights an important reality. AI devices often collect more information than people realize. When people share content with AI systems, human reviewers may analyze that material to help improve the technology. That means the footage captured by your device may be seen by someone else during the training process. Wearable cameras also record everyday life, which makes it easy for private or sensitive moments to be captured unintentionally. Even when companies use tools to blur faces or hide identifying details, those systems do not always work perfectly. As a result, personal information can sometimes still appear in the footage. Privacy policies also evolve as companies roll out new AI features. Staying aware of those updates can help you decide how comfortable you are with the technology you are using.

Smart glasses are quickly moving from novelty to everyday gadget. The idea of having AI help you understand the world around you is undeniably appealing. However, the same technology that makes these devices powerful also raises complicated privacy questions. Cameras that are always within reach, AI systems that learn from real-world footage and human reviewers who help train those systems create a chain of data that many users rarely think about. As smart wearables become more common, transparency about how that data is used will matter more than ever.

So here is the bigger question. Would you feel comfortable wearing AI glasses if someone halfway around the world might review the footage your device captures? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com

The Miami RedHawks men’s basketball team became just the fifth NCAA Division I program this century to go undefeated in the regular season after a thrilling overtime victory over Ohio on Friday night. 

Miami (Ohio) capped off the regular season as the only remaining undefeated team behind the performance of ​​Eian Elmer, who scored a career-high of 32 points in the 110-108 victory, and star guard Peter Suder, who scored five of his 13 points in overtime. 

Jackson Paveletzke led Ohio with a career-high 37 points, but it wasn’t enough to cement a win, as his would-be buzzer-beater missed the mark.

With a 31-0 record, the focus now shifts to March basketball as the RedHawks’ place in the tournament is far from certain.

"An undefeated season, it has to matter, right?" athletic director David Sayler told USA Today of the team’s chances at making the national tournament. "Otherwise, why wouldn't we just play three days in (the MAC tournament) and the winner goes to the (NCAA) tournament and forget the regular season if you're not going to take an undefeated team?"

MIAMI (OHIO) IMPROVES TO 30-0 AS CINDERELLA RUN GETS MORE MAGICAL

"It should cement it." 

Miami (Ohio) secured the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament and opens play against UMass in the quarterfinals Thursday. A win would secure the team an automatic bid to the national tournament.

Suffer a loss, and an at-large bid for the mid-major team becomes more complicated.

PALM BEACH, FLA - British opposition leader Nigel Farage is taking aim at his country's prime minister for not supporting the U.S. in its military strikes against Iran.

"I think not to support America when it asks for support is a pretty extraordinary thing to have done.," Farage, the leader of the right-wing Reform UK party, said in an exclusive interview Saturday with Fox News Digital.

President Donald Trump has blasted Labor Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially blocking the U.S. from using British military bases, specifically Diego Garcia — a strategic base located on an Indian Ocean island — for strikes against Iran during Operation Epic Fury. Starmer later permitted the use of the bases for "defensive strikes" after Trump's complaints. 

Starmer hasn’t spoken to Trump since they connected on a call last weekend, after the U.S. and Israel launched their strikes on Iran. The British prime minister has made clear his country would not be joining the U.S. in attacking Iran, emphasizing he didn't believe in "regime change from the skies."

Trump, taking a jab at Starmer, said earlier this week, "This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with."

Farage criticized Starmer for not changing his stance, "even now, despite the fact that we've got an RAF base in Cyprus that's been under attack, we've got allies of ours in the Gulf that are under attack."

"I think there's been less than wholehearted support has come for the Americans in this endeavor. And I think the British Prime Minister on the world stage, he's upset the Americans," Farage said. "He's upset the Cypriots. He's upset the Gulf states. And he's pretty friendless at the moment."

THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA: REPUBLICAN SENATORS WEIGH IN ON IRAN ATTACK

Farage, who seven years ago founded the populist Brexit Party, which later transformed into the Reform UK party, was interviewed ahead of an appearance at an annual economic conference in Florida hosted by the Club for Growth, an influential and politically potent political group that pushes for fiscal responsibility.

Starmer has been feeling Trump's wrath not only for their differences over the attack on Iran, but also over the British deal to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands, the Indian Ocean archipelago where Diego Garcia is located, to Mauritius. Starmer has argued his lease-back deal is the only way to secure the British-U.S. military base on Diego Garcia.

Farage, who has been vocal in his opposition to the deal, told Fox News Digital that "outside of America itself," Diego Garcia "is the most important base you've got in the whole world. Now it's there as part of British sovereignty. We have a treaty between us that goes back to 1966 and Keir Starmer is on the verge of giving away the sovereignty of the Chagos islands and Diego Garcia to Mauritius."

"If Trump initially had problems with the Brits over using the base, just think what it will be like with the heavily Chinese-influenced Mauritians. They already have said they believe that America should not have struck Iran, that it was against international law, then are calling for a ceasefire," Farage said.

Farage, who said his opposition to the deal was a key factor in his weekend trip to the U.S., said, "I would just urge the president, this administration, stay firm. Tell the British government you will not accept giving away of sovereignty to Mauritius, and let's ensure a future for Diego Garcia. I think it's really important."

Farage, who's hoping to become Britain's next prime minister, argued that Starmer's relationship with Trump is beyond repair.

"I think the personal relationship between Keir Starmer and Donald Trump has gone. I mean, Trump can be forgiving, but, you know, that would take a long time. So I think that breakdown is there," he said.

But as for the longstanding bonds between the two countries, known as the 'special relationship,' Farage was more optimistic.

"The special relationship went through bad times in the past. We had a massive fallout 70 years ago over Suez, but we got back together again. I'm convinced it can, and it will, be mended," he predicted.

House GOP leaders have asked embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, to drop his bid for re-election.

"The Ethics Committee has announced an investigation into Congressman Tony Gonzales’s conduct, and we urge them to act expeditiously. Congressman Gonzales has said he will fully cooperate with the investigation," the statement by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other top Republicans reads.

"We have encouraged him to address these very serious allegations directly with his constituents and his colleagues. In the meantime, Leadership has asked Congressman Gonzales to withdraw from his race for re-election."

Gonzales' re-election bid has been plagued by scandal for weeks ever since allegations emerged that he had an affair with his late aide and sent her sexually explicit text messages.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ACCUSED OF AFFAIR WITH LATE AIDE TO FACE RUNOFF ELECTION

The same aide, Regina Santos-Aviles, committed suicide by setting herself on fire outside her home late last year.

National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., leader of the House GOP campaign arm, told Fox News Digital, "I agree with the Speaker and the rest of leadership, Tony should withdraw from the runoff and allow the Ethics process to move forward while focusing on his family and serving his constituents for the remainder of his term."

Gonzales suggested the affair did occur on the conservative "Joe Pags Show" on Wednesday evening but gave no indication he would drop out.

"I made a mistake and I had a lapse in judgment, and there was a lack of faith, and I take full responsibility for those actions. Since then, I've reconciled with my wife Angel. I've asked God to forgive me, which he has, and my faith is as strong as ever," the Texas Republican said.

He previously fought back against any accusation of impropriety and accused Santos-Aviles' husband of extortion.

"During my six years in Congress, not a single formal complaint has been levied against my office. Now days away from an election, coordinated political attacks reign in. IT WON'T WORK. Halfway through early voting and the intensity resides w/ TG voters. I’d rather be us than them," he posted on X in late February.

The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into Gonzales on Wednesday, one day after he advanced to a runoff in his re-election bid.

Gonzales is facing Brandon Herrera, a social media influencer and firearms activist who previously challenged the incumbent lawmaker in 2024. Herrera lost to Gonzales by less than 2% in the previous election cycle.

This time, however, neither clinched an outright majority in the race and will now face off again in late May, if Gonzales does not drop out.

Fox News Digital reached out to Gonzales' congressional office for comment.

Meanwhile, the growing scandal has prompted several of Gonzales' fellow House Republicans to call for his resignation before the end of his term.

"I would encourage him to consider resigning," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., told reporters last week.

His fellow Texas lawmaker, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, urged Gonzales not to run for re-election. "America deserves better. Tony should drop out of the race," he posted on X.

Gonzales previously told reporters he had no intention of resigning.

Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller was highly criticized for comparing Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark's game to Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard, with fans taking it as a slight toward Clark. Miller doubled down on his take.

Miller, 60, said the question was not about the stature of the player or how the player has grown the game, but simply about the game itself.

"The question of historically or stature-wise who is she compared to because if that was the case, obviously, the W in the WNBA she has brought so much attention and eyes like a Stephen Curry," Miller said during a recent appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show."

"So if that was the question, then I probably should have said Stephen Curry. But I was going by game alone, like who does her game remind me of and when I look at Payton Pritchard and if you've watched Payton Pritchard,. They're very similar."

Miller said Pritchard is probably a better scorer than Clark once they get to the paint, but they both shoot step-back, deep 3-pointers, move quickly with the ball and get a lot of assists. The Indiana Pacers great insisted that it wasn’t a slight, as people who know basketball love Pritchard’s game.

"Payton Pritchard, to the common fan, isn't well known like Stephen Curry, but to the basketball people know Payton. People really love Payton Pritchard, but it is what it is."

STEPHEN A SMITH CALLS ZION WILLIAMSON A 'FOOD ADDICT,' SUGGESTS PELICANS 'ENCOURAGED' HIM TO RIP NBA STAR

"I think people got caught up because it wasn't a huge name, people say, ‘You could have said Damian Lillard, you could have said Trae Young, you could have said Stephen Curry.’ I was comparing the games, not the stature of Caitlin Clark."

Pritchard was the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in the 2024-25 season. In his career, he had primarily been a productive bench player, averaging 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3 assists per game in his six-year career.

This season, with superstar Jayson Tatum out with an Achilles injury, Pritchard has started more games and he has been more productive with more minutes. In 60 games this season, Pritchard is averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Dan Patrick gave Reggie Miller a chance to amend his comments, and asked Miller again whose game Clark reminded him most of, and he again answered Pritchard before joking rattling off other superstars to appease fans.

"I'm going to say Payton Pritchard, Stephen Curry, Kyrie (Irving), Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, (Cade) Cunningham, (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), she's all of them, alright, she's everyone."

Decorated Navy TOPGUN graduate and F/A-18 fighter pilot Matthew "Whiz" Buckley said Tuesday that Iran has "zero" options as U.S. and Israeli strikes continue in Operation Epic Fury — but warned the biggest danger now may be friendly fire amid a complex battle environment.

Given U.S. air superiority, Buckley said on "Fox & Friends First" the Iranian government is backed into a corner.

"They really don't have any options. When you have command of the sky, you can do whatever you want... We have free flow over the airspace, which means we can pick and choose targets at will and not worry about any ground fire," he said, but added that, "the only ground fire we have to worry about is friendly fire."

Buckley said he was grateful for the safety of the U.S. airmen who had to eject themselves from their F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft after they were mistakenly engaged by allied Kuwaiti air defenses.

"I'm more worried about our own forces than I am the Iranians at this point. It's over with. As far as their air, sea and mainly land powers as well," he said.

Three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles were shot down in a friendly fire incident over Kuwait late Sunday during active combat operations tied to Operation Epic Fury, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The aircraft were taken down by Kuwait amid a complex battle environment that included attacks by Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones.

All six aircrew members safely ejected, were quickly recovered, and are reported to be in stable condition.

Despite the misfire, Buckley expressed confidence in the military's stated objectives of degrading Iran's ballistic missile capability and nuclear program, and said that what happened next would be up to the Iranian people.

The mission also served as a demonstration that, "whether it was the Maduro raid, Operation Midnight Hammer, or Epic Fury, we can project power around the globe and hit our mission objectives extremely quickly," Buckley said.
