@ThibaultDu @Powareverb @gerowen @GossiTheDog I don’t work on the project but I find the NPU tech and the open SDKs behind it (and onyx runtime) interesting. My opinion is it should be not just opt-in but something you download explicitly and install if you want it. Similar to RescueTime and TimeSnapper and AugmenD and other apps that have done this stuff for years (using OCR). This should be as secure as your browser history, encrypted at rest, non roaming, etc.

My opinion as a technologist with all things like this is always should be optional, auditable, local, and transparent

@shanselman @ThibaultDu @Powareverb @gerowen @GossiTheDog it's going to be interesting how IT departments handle this. FWIW I was invited to a Dell + MS event next month (I assume launching their line) and I had to refuse it - as it was a paid-for event, but also I could already see the risks for a company like us who have so many people and departments - all you need is one poorly configured laptop and company secrets can spill out.
