Ninajirachi's 'All I Am' Lands in Meta Glasses Ad as Kylie Jenner Fronts Controversial AI Launch

1 articles · Updated · stereogum.com · Jul 1

Summary

  • Ninajirachi's track “All I Am” was used in Meta’s new AI glasses commercial featuring Kylie Jenner, a campaign that aired during the World Cup last week.
  • Fan backlash quickly followed, with Kylie Jenner and Ninajirachi supporters attacking the glasses on social media over privacy and surveillance concerns.
  • Meta is positioning the device as its first Meta-branded glasses line—still made by EssilorLuxottica—and says the product is built around an all-day AI assistant.
  • The criticism echoes broader warnings: more than 70 civil-rights and advocacy groups said in April that facial-recognition-enabled AI glasses could endanger immigrants, LGBTQ+ people and abuse survivors.
