It’s time once again for Meta’s annual September product launch event, and The Verge is on the ground in Menlo Park to cover the show live. Meta says that today’s keynote by Mark Zuckerberg will be about how “Meta is building a future for everyone” — something he wrote at length about in a recent essay about AI, smart glasses, and more. That means we can expect more news from Zuckerberg and his team on those topics; perhaps we’ll hear more about Meta’s recently launched Muse AI agent and new glasses hardware.
Whatever Zuckerberg and Meta have to say about smart glasses will be particularly notable. The company is dealing with an outpouring of privacy and harassment concerns stemming from the product line’s built-in camera, which has led to them being derided as “pervert glasses.” Meta has already tried to tackle that reputation with recent privacy fixes and a new marketing campaign, but it could introduce more updates on the Connect stage.
The show is scheduled to begin at 7PM ET / 4PM PT, and you can follow our live updates here.
