Apple's AI hardware may redefine 'recording
tech companies with new ai hardware, like apple, want to change the definition of 'recording' to exclude always-listening devices that don't save data, sparking debate on privacy.
tech companies with new ai hardware, such as apple, are redefining what constitutes a 'recording'. apple's smart home camera, for example, uses ai to create text snippets from visual data without saving video recordings. similarly, apple's audio intelligence on the apple watch series 12 and ultra 4 uses a microphone to generate transcripts or summaries of conversations. these devices don't save audio or video data, but rather delete it after processing. this approach sparks debate on privacy and whether such devices should be considered 'recording' devices.
