Ask HN: Would interactive TV commercials be acceptable with privacy safeguards?
For example, a TV commercial could react to what it sees and hears in your living room.
As a privacy safeguard, all camera and microphone inputs would be processed locally by on-device AI, and only short text summaries would be sent to company servers.
This way, a TV commercial could interact with you and your surroundings while still protecting your privacy.

- mouse_ 1y agoI will dedicate the rest of my short existence to stopping whatever this is
- pavel_lishin 1y agoOf course, to a certain subset of consumers. And a different subset would rather set their house on fire rather than allow such a thing. > As a privacy safeguard, all camera and microphone inputs would be processed locally by on-device AI I would not trust an advertising company to tell me the truth about this. How could I verify that this is indeed the case? How could I be sure that they won't push a software upgrade to change it? > only short text summaries would be sent to company servers Which is still a lot of data to be sending out. > This way, a TV commercial could interact with you and your surroundings while still protecting your privacy. What's the benefit of this, to anyone?
- OgsyedIE 1y agoAll TV commercials are an intrusive attack against the person, some are just better at engendering a sense of the futility of resistance than others.
