Data Labelers Gonna Label

Before diving in, I should note that this is not just a Meta Ray Ban AI glasses issue.

This is an issue with ANY video feed that requires AI processing.

Because AI can’t do its job on its own.

To ensure that the AI is trained properly, an army of humans looks at the same data and uses data labeling to classify it.

We allow this when we sign those Terms of Service. And I personally believe it’s a good thing, since it helps correct errors from uncontrolled AI.

But Futurism notes the types of video feeds that the human data labelers have to label.

“I saw a video where a man puts the glasses on the bedside table and leaves the room,” one data annotator told the newspapers. “Shortly afterwards his wife comes in and changes her clothes.”

Grok.

Basically we record more than we should. One example: a bank card.

But regardless of whether data labelers are present or not, assume that any recording device will record anything, and potentially distribute it.
