Most likely more effective data harvesting. Individual user level AI isn't the end goal I don't think. It's just a nice byproduct. This just means they can embed more data collection, and use your device to crunch the numbers for them.

This is the big thing I’m worried about with the AI revolution. If AI is being baked into your OS, where does usable training data end and your sensitive data start? Recall is pinkie promising that it won’t record sensitive data but at the same time it’s also saying “if your application doesn’t protect it well we mayyy see it and record it, whoops”. I can bet you 120% Recall is just a way for Microsoft to collect training data on millions of users every day. It is a privacy nightmare. But I don’t think the average consumer will care. Privacy died a long time ago.
