A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Meta is reportedly planning to add facial recognition technology to its smart glasses as soon as this year. The feature, internally called "Name Tag," would enable wearers to identify people and access information about them through Meta's AI assistant. The New York Times report notes that Meta has been deliberating since early last year on how to release the feature given significant safety and privacy risks. The company had originally planned to debut Name Tag at a conference for the visually impaired, but plans could still change.
