Jimmy Kimmel has sharp words for Mark Zuckerberg over Meta testing facial recognition software

Jimmy Kimmel has sharp words for Mark Zuckerberg over Meta testing facial recognition software

Jimmy Kimmel has responded to the news of Meta Smart Glasses testing facial recognition software.

A man in a suit stands on a talk show stage. A news headline about Meta is visible at the bottom.

Meta has casually added some facial recognition code for smart glasses to the Meta AI app, but don't worry: the company says its just "exploring" the feature.

Speaking in the monologue above, Jimmy Kimmel remained unconvinced.

"Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, they've got some fun projects in the hopper. They are reportedly testing facial recognition and surveillance software for their smart glasses. Which, if they work, the glasses would have the same technology used by the government and the police to record everything and identify everyone. But it only works on human faces, not whatever this is," says Kimmel, cutting to a photo of CEO Mark Zuckerberg looking particularly robotic.

"Remember when Mark Zuckerberg was just this weird kid from Harvard who created The Facebook so he could hopefully one day lose his virginity? Now he's a sneaky little narc making pervert glasses."
