Facebook is developing new algorithms that can track everything you do

[Chris Smith]

Imagine a world where one of your devices can track everything you do in your day-to-day life. It can see, hear and remember everything for you and recall that information when needed. That sort of innovation is brilliant and could do wonders for gadgets like augmented reality (AR) glasses that could do all of the above — see, hear, and remember. But it’s also very creepy. Add Facebook into the mix, and the creepiness level maxes out. For years, Facebook was at the center of various scandals centered around user privacy and security. The latest one comes from a whistleblower who exposed details about what Facebook knows about the toxicity of its apps and how its algorithms might favor harmful content to drive up interactions.

Having that company develop artificial intelligence (AI) that can see and hear the things around you and then remember everything doesn’t sound too reassuring. But the tech is interesting nonetheless. That’s because said AI might target a different kind of product than Facebook’s social networks. That’s the AR glasses that the company is developing for the future.
