Court Incident

When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday, he did so with a team that appeared to be wearing Meta’s camera‑equipped Ray‑Ban smart glasses. Judge Carolyn Kuhl expressed concern. According to CNBC, Kuhl warned anyone recording with the glasses:

“If you have done that, you must delete that, or you will be held in contempt of the court.”

She also ordered everyone wearing AI smart glasses to remove them.

Even after the warning, at least one person was seen wearing the glasses around jurors in a courthouse hallway, although plaintiff attorney Rachel Lanier was told the glasses weren’t recording at the time.
