■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 3 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Guy Rosen, Meta's chief information security officer and former head of election integrity efforts, is leaving the company in the coming months. The departure comes as Meta faces scrutiny over undisclosed facial recognition capabilities in its smart glasses platform.

Rosen has served as Meta's CISO and led the company's election integrity initiatives. His exit marks another shift in Meta's leadership structure as the company navigates ongoing privacy and security concerns. The timing of Rosen's departure coincides with revelations that Meta embedded unreleased facial recognition code into its smart glasses platform. WIRED's investigation uncovered the system, designed to identify people using biometric data stored on users' phones, embedded in Meta's AI app distributed to millions of devices. Meta had previously disclosed plans to explore facial recognition for its smart glasses products. The undisclosed nature of the code's presence on user devices raises fresh questions about the company's transparency practices and data handling. Rosen's departure suggests potential organizational changes within Meta's security and integrity divisions, though the company has not announced a replacement or detailed succession plans.
