Bay Area University Issues Warning Over Man Using Meta AI Glasses On Campus

The University of San Francisco issued a campuswide alert after reports of a man using Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses to film students while making 'unwanted comments and inappropriate dating questions.' Although no violence has been reported, officials said he may be uploading footage to TikTok and Instagram. SFGate reports: University officials said 'no threats or acts of violence' have been reported, but they have been unable to identify all students who appear in the videos. They urged any school members affected to alert the app platform and the USF Department of Public Safety. 'As a community, we share the responsibility of caring for ourselves, each other, and this place,' school officials said in the alert. 'By looking out for one another and promptly reporting concerns, we help ensure a safe and supportive environment for all.'

The glasses feature a small camera that can be used for recording by pressing a button or using voice controls. Meta advises users to act 'responsibly' when using the glasses. 'Not everyone loves being photographed. Stop recording if anyone expresses that they would rather opt out, and be particularly mindful of others before going live,' the company said.
