An unnamed Sama employee reportedly said, “You understand it’s someone’s private life you’re looking at, but at the same time you’re just expected to get the job done.”
Validates the use of meta data annotators
In statements shared with the BBC on Wednesday, Meta confirmed that it “occasionally” shares the content that users share with Meta AI’s Generative AI chatbot with contractors “for the purpose of improving people’s experience, as do many other companies.”
“This data is filtered in the first place to protect people’s privacy,” the statement said, pointing to blurring of faces in images as an example.
Meta’s privacy policy for wearables says that photos and videos taken with its smart glasses are sent to Meta “when you turn on cloud processing on your AI Glasses, interact with a Meta AI service on your AI Glasses, or upload your media to certain services provided by Meta (i.e., Facebook or Instagram). You can change your preferences about cloud processing of your media at any time in Settings.”
The policy also says that video and audio from livestreams recorded with Ray-Ban Metas are sent to Meta, as well as text transcripts and voice recordings made by Meta’s chatbot.
The policy states, “We use machine learning and trained reviewers to process this data to improve, troubleshoot, and train our products. We share that information with third-party vendors and service providers to improve our products. You can access and delete recordings and associated transcripts in the Meta AI app.”
Meta’s comprehensive privacy policy for the Meta AI chatbot states: “In some cases, Meta will review your interactions with the AI, including the content of your conversations or messages with the AI, and this review may be automated or manual (human).”
