Are you suggesting distributed NN training through user's browsers? This is a very sketchy area along the lines of browser based bitcoin mining. You don't want to run any computation heavy code on client side without user's knowledge & approval.

Though if you only meant performing inference in user's browsers, then the challenge would be to find a way for TF/pytorch pre-trained models to port and perform accurately in js. If successfully done, I can see some use cases here.
