https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/watch/4f9f8e59-0fe9-43c3-bacb-7b4d616b9ce3 Meta has patented an AI wearable device that could monitor users’ voices, surroundings and physical location to tailor workouts based on mood. According to 404 Media, the system would listen to signals such as sighs, laughter and tone of voice to infer emotional states. It could also track physical location and nearby objects to build a picture of a person’s daily life, habits and routines. Because the device records the world around the wearer, it could capture interactions with other people who have not consented to being recorded or analysed. Meta frames this as a way to create more precise, personalised workouts. But it isn’t simply a fitness tool. A device that turns joy, sadness and everyday life into inputs for corporate AI systems is a privacy disaster for individuals and society. #meta #facebook #instagram #ai #artificialintelligence #wearable #wearables #aiwearable #smartglasses #fitness #fitnesstech #personaltraining #personaltrainer #privacy #dataprivacy #surveillance #emotiontracking #emotionaldata #moodtracking #voicetracking #locationtracking #datacollection #biometrics #personaldata #healthdata #digitalrights #dataprotection #consent #bigtech #technology #tech #corporatesurveillance #society #trainingdata #personalisation #personalizedfitness #oura #whoop #workout #workouts #aiworkout #aipersonaltrainer Sun, 02 Aug 2026 20:21:52 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://media.privacyinternational.org https://media.privacyinternational.org/lazy-static/avatars/5c7454e0-676b-43a0-8933-4867d0c1f2e6.png https://media.privacyinternational.org/videos/watch/4f9f8e59-0fe9-43c3-bacb-7b4d616b9ce3 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://media.privacyinternational.org/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
