Meta aims to introduce facial recognition to its smart glasses while its biggest critics are distracted, according to a report from The New York Times. Meta, which makes smart glasses with Ray-Ban and Oakley, reportedly plans to launch the feature as soon as this year. Meta has faced legal battles for using facial recognition tools before. After launching the ability to tag people in Facebook photos using facial recognition in 2017, the company discontinued its use of the technology in 2021. But recent reports suggest that Meta is considering working with facial recognition once again.
