Meta AI is now always watching.

In a recent update to the privacy policy for the device, received by most owners in an email sent April 29, according to The Verge, Meta opened up the ability to collect more data for use to train its artificial intelligence models. Having the assistant always waiting to hear you give it a task removes some of the friction to functionality, but it also opens up the uncomfortable reality that these devices may be collecting information even when you aren’t thinking about it. It’s clear the company is all-in on AI right now, and that means it needs all the data it can get to keep fine-tuning things, especially after it got caught allegedly fudging the numbers on benchmark tests.
