Amazon’s delivery driver smart glasses will reportedly take photos ‘almost constantly’
Stevie started out at Laptop Mag writing news and reviews on hardware, gaming, and AI.Amazon deliveries could soon come with a new catch: the delivery driver’s smart glasses will be snapping photos of anything they see while they’re in use, including people and private property. Bloomberg reports that the glasses could take “several thousand captures in a single driver’s typical shift,” which Amazon plans to upload to its AI Wellspring platform. Bloomberg says Amazon confirmed that “images from the smart glasses could be obtained with a warrant,” but wouldn’t specify how long it plans to store the images for.
