Dambiirta Meta: Walaalaha iyo Caruurtooda Oo Ka Dhacay inay Xisaabto Xayeysiisyo Facebook iyo Instagram ah
Walaalaha iyo caruurtooda ku nool Illinois iyo California ayaa maanta ku eedeeyay shirkadda Meta inay si sharci-darro ah u isticmaashay sawirrada Facebook iyo Instagram ee dadka si ay u sameyso nidaamka NameTag-ka iyo AI-yada Emu iyo Muse Image, iyadoo xisaabtu ay ku jirto maxkamadda federaalka ee Chicago.
Xisaabta iyo Eedeynta Sharci-darrada
Walaalaha Francisco Alvarez iyo Jeremy Wahl, iyagoo leh wiil iyo gabar 10 sano jir ah, ayaa ku eedeeyay Meta inay si sharci-darro ah uga faa'iideysatay sawirrada dadka si ay u sameyso nidaamka NameTag-ka iyo AI-yada Emu iyo Muse Image, iyadoo xisaabtu ay ku jirto maxkamadda federaalka ee Chicago.
Xisaabtu waxay sheegaysaa in Meta ay sharciyada gaarka ah ee Illinois iyo California ka hor istaagtay, iyadoo aan wax war ah ama ogolaansho ah loo helin dadka, iyadoo NameTag-ka loo isticmaali lahaa in la sameeyo biometric signatures oo la eego sawirrada Facebook iyo Instagram.
NameTag-ka iyo AI-yada Emu iyo Muse Image
WIRED ayaa June-kii sheegay in NameTag-ka uu ku jiray barnaamijka Meta glasses-ka, kaas oo la soo dejiyay 50 milyan mar, iyadoo nidaamku uu ahaa inuu sameeyo biometric signatures oo la eego sawirrada Facebook iyo Instagram.
Meta waxay sheegtay inay 'mid ka mid ah AI-yada Emu iyo Muse Image' ku isticmaashay sawirrada Facebook iyo Instagram, iyadoo Chris Cox uu sheegay inay yihiin 'faa'iidooyin data ah' AI-yada, halka Muse Image ay 2024-kii ka baxday iyadoo sheegtay inay 'ka gudubtay'.
Jawaabta Meta iyo Taariikhda Eedeynta
Meta waxay sheegtay in xisaabtu 'mid ka mid ah mid aan waxba ka jirin' tahay, iyadoo sheegtay in NameTag-ka 'mid ka mid ah mid aan la soo bandhigin' yahay, halka Justin Boley uu sheegay in 'dadku ha u baahnayn inay ka cabsadaan in biometric data-ka la isticmaalo'.
Taariikhdu waxay muujinaysaa in Meta ay 2020-kii bixisay $650 milyan si ay u xaliyo eedeyn Illinois, 2021-kii ay iska ilaawday nidaamka, 2024-kii ay bixisay $1.4 bilyan Texas, iyadoo Andrew Bosworth uu sheegay in NameTag-ka uu 'mid ka mid ah mid aad u fiican' yahay.
Parents in Illinois and California filed a federal lawsuit in Chicago alleging that Meta illegally used their Facebook and Instagram photos to build NameTag, an unreleased face-recognition system for its smart glasses, and to train generative AI models including Emu and Muse Image.
The Lawsuit and Alleged Privacy Violations
A set of parents and their children in Illinois and California filed a lawsuit last week in federal court in Chicago alleging that Meta illegally used their Facebook and Instagram photos to build NameTag, an unreleased face-recognition system for its smart glasses, and to train generative AI models including Emu and Muse Image.
The proposed class action alleges that Meta violated Illinois and California privacy laws by extracting biometric information from people's photos without notice or consent.
NameTag and the Biometric Data Controversy
WIRED reported in June that code for NameTag had been secretly embedded in the Meta glasses AI companion app, which had been downloaded more than 50 million times. The analysis found that the system was designed to turn faces captured by the glasses into biometric signatures and compare them with so-called faceprints stored in a database on the user's phone.
Meta told WIRED in June that it was 'not building a central face database,' but it would not answer questions about whether NameTag would be opt-in or how the system would retain faceprints.
Meta's Response and Broader Pattern of Violations
'This lawsuit is without merit and misrepresents our work. We've been transparent about how we use people's information to build and improve our AI products. As for NameTags, nothing has shipped to consumers and no final decision has been made on what to do here, if anything,' a Meta spokesperson says in a statement.
In 2020, the company agreed to pay $650 million to settle an Illinois class action over an earlier face-recognition system. In November 2021, the company announced that it would shut down the system and delete more than a billion faceprints.
