彭博社评论专栏作家戴夫·李周三报道称,亚马逊配送员很快将佩戴智能眼镜,在步行配送过程中“几乎持续不断地”拍照。一个班次可能产生数千张图片,记录配送员看到的一切,包括私人财产。
Amazon’s delivery drivers will soon wear smart glasses that take pictures “almost constantly” on foot, Bloomberg Opinion columnist Dave Lee reported on Wednesday.
顾客无法选择退出、查看这些图片或要求将其删除,李报道称。亚马逊也没有计划直接告知顾客有关这款眼镜的情况。
A single shift could produce several thousand images of whatever the driver sees, including private property.
“我们还没有考虑过这一点。”负责推广这款眼镜的亚马逊高管维拉杰·查特吉在被问及顾客能否选择退出时告诉《彭博报》。
Customers will have no way to opt out, see the images or ask for them to be deleted, Lee reported.
眼镜会拍到什么:亚马逊去年10月宣布了这款眼镜。它会引导司机找到正确的包裹和投递点,并免手持拍摄送达凭证。李报道称,亚马逊的目标是让5000名司机在今年年底前佩戴这款眼镜,到2027年底增至超过2万名。试点期间,已有超过27.5万次配送使用这款眼镜。
Amazon has no plans to tell them directly about the glasses. “We haven’t thought about that,” Viraj Chatterjee, the Amazon executive running the rollout, told Bloomberg when asked about an opt-out. What the glasses capture Amazon announced the glasses last October.
这款眼镜会以“一定频率”拍摄静态图像,查特吉说。他把“至少每隔几秒一次”称为“大致推测”。这些照片会输入亚马逊用于绘制社区地图的人工智能系统“韦尔斯普林”,也会有工作人员进行审核。
They guide drivers to the right package and the drop-off point, and take the proof-of-delivery photo hands-free. Amazon aims to have 5,000 drivers wearing them by the end of this year, Lee reported, and more than 20,000 by the end of 2027.
查特吉说,亚马逊的系统会在审核前对人物和车牌进行模糊处理。亚马逊不肯透露这些图片的保存期限。一名发言人后来证实,持 warrants 的执法部门可以获取这些图片。Wait accidental English and wording. Need final only. Correct: 持有搜查令? Legal warrant = 搜查令; authorities with a warrant could obtain.
More than 275,000 deliveries have used them in the pilot. The glasses take still images “at a certain frequency”, Chatterjee said. He called “every few seconds at least” a “good guess”. The pictures feed Wellspring, Amazon’s AI system for mapping neighbourhoods, and humans review them too. Amazon’s systems blur people and number plates before that review, Chatterjee said.
"持有令状"? In Chinese news, 凭搜查令. Use 持有搜查令的当局. Need no English. Good.亚马逊的立场:亚马逊表示,这款眼镜能让配送更快、更可靠,公司仅使用相关数据改进配送服务。“我们的初衷从来都不是监控之类的事情。”查特吉说。
Amazon would not say how long it keeps the images. A spokesperson later confirmed that authorities with a warrant could obtain them. Amazon’s case Amazon says the glasses make deliveries faster and more reliable, and that it uses the data only to improve delivery. “The intent has never been stuff like surveillance,” Chatterjee said.
亚马逊表示,配送合作伙伴和司机可以自愿佩戴这款眼镜。一名司机称,培训人员会告诉司机,在如厕休息期间以及靠近学校或军事设施时,按下“隐私模式”按钮。亚马逊正在研究根据所在位置自动开启这一模式。
Wearing them is voluntary for delivery partners and drivers, Amazon says. Trainers tell drivers to press a “privacy mode” button on bathroom breaks and near schools or military sites, according to one driver. Amazon is looking at switching it on automatically by location.
李对此持怀疑态度。他预计会再次引发隐私争议,并指出司机们在完成配送路线时承受着巨大压力。一位参加过培训课程的司机称这款眼镜“绝对是一个反乌托邦式的举动”。
Lee is sceptical. He expects another privacy row, and notes that drivers work under heavy pressure to finish routes. One driver who attended a training session called the glasses “definitely a dystopian move”.
此次推广之际,摄像眼镜正面临日益高涨的隐私反弹。巴黎检察官本月就用于拍摄女性的智能眼镜展开了刑事调查。亚马逊本月还向其配送合作伙伴计划追加了9亿美元。
The rollout comes as camera glasses face a growing privacy backlash. Paris prosecutors opened a criminal probe this month into smart glasses used to film women. Amazon also added another .9bn to its delivery partner programme this month.
