The artificial intelligence (AI) device privacy issue is becoming a hardware design feature and a business policy. After privacy criticisms and a lawsuit alleging that Meta used recordings to train its AI, the company presented audio-only, camera-free versions of its smart glasses. Others in big tech are signalling towards similar directions. Sam Altman said OpenAI’s planned always-on device would process information locally, since users won’t accept something watching and listening to them.

A recent Johnson Controls report found that 45% of leaders planning to implement a workplace management solution are rolling out environmental and occupancy sensors.

人工智能（AI）设备的隐私问题正逐渐演变为硬件设计特性和商业策略。在隐私问题引发争议，以及一起指控Meta公司使用录音训练其人工智能的诉讼之后，该公司推出了仅支持音频、不带摄像头的智能眼镜版本。其他大型科技公司也正朝着类似的方向发展。Sam Altman表示，OpenAI计划推出的始终在线设备将在本地处理信息，因为用户不会接受有人监视和监听他们。

江森自控最近的一份报告显示，计划实施工作场所管理解决方案的领导者中，有45%正在部署环境和人员占用传感器。在已使用工作场所管理解决方案的近三分之二（67%）的企业领导者中，已有45%在使用环境和人员占用传感器。
