Meta Platforms has confirmed it discussed privacy concerns surrounding smart glasses with Hong Kong’s privacy watchdog, as the US tech giant’s AI-enabled eyewear goes on sale in the city amid mounting international scrutiny.

The company briefed Hong Kong media on Monday, days after the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) warned that smart glasses could enable covert recording, excessive collection of personal data, and the processing of sensitive information through AI.

“We take [the PCPD’s] counsel, and we continue to work with them to really make sure that this also addresses any concerns they will have,” Philip Chua, Meta’s public policy director for products in Asia-Pacific, said.

Open Questions

  • What specific safeguards will Meta implement?
  • Will the PCPD issue formal restrictions?
