Meta reorganizes AI teams and faces privacy questions about its smart glasses

Meta is creating a new organization focused on applied artificial intelligence engineering. The company is also testing an AI shopping research tool and will allow rival AI chatbots on WhatsApp in Europe, though it will charge a fee for this access.

Separately, Meta is facing a lawsuit and regulatory questions in the UK over a report that its AI smart glasses send sensitive video footage to human reviewers in Kenya. The company has also reportedly withheld the latest version of these glasses from the European Union, citing battery regulations and supply chain issues.
