[$] Mozilla's initiatives for non-creepy deep learning
Jack Moffitt started off his 2019linux.conf.au talk by calling attention to Facebook's "Portal" device. It is,he said, a cool product, but raises an important question: why wouldanybody in their right mind put a surveillance device made by Facebook intheir kitchen?There are a lot of devices out there - including the Portal - usingdeep-learning techniques; theyoffer useful functionality, but also bring a lot of problems. We as acommunity need to figure out a way to solve those problems; he was there tohighlight a set of Mozilla projects working toward that goal.
