Meta Faces Lawsuit Over Biometric Data Harvesting for AI Training

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 6.5 Wired Security

A proposed class action alleges Meta illegally extracted biometric data from Facebook and Instagram photos to train AI image-generation models (Emu and Muse Image) and to build its unreleased NameTag facial recognition system for smart glasses. The case highlights systemic risks around unconsented biometric data collection embedded in large-scale AI training pipelines, raising serious privacy and data governance concerns. The lawsuit invokes Illinois and California privacy laws, underscoring the growing regulatory pressure on AI vendors over training data provenance.

Midjourney Medical Releases Full-Body AI Ultrasound Scanner

FIRST LOOK ATLAS OWASP MEDIUM Moderate risk · Monitor closely ▲ 5.8 The Verge AI

Midjourney Medical has launched the Midjourney Scanner, a ring-based full-body ultrasound device that uses an array of sensors and AI inference to produce MRI-comparable anatomical imagery, marking a significant expansion of accessible diagnostic technology into consumer and prosumer health monitoring. For defenders and healthcare operators, this class of device opens new ground in longitudinal health visibility — enabling earlier detection of physiological changes at a cadence and cost point previously unavailable outside clinical settings. Realising that potential fully will require commensurate investment in data governance, model validation, and supply chain assurance to match the sensitivity of the data the platform generates.
