Samsung's phone runs AlexNet on screenshots to guess your game
What is Samsung running a TensorFlow lite model on 960x540 image to track you?
Samsung devices periodically capture a 960×540 screenshot and feed it to a TensorFlow Lite AlexNet model quantized to INT8. The model tries to identify the game you’re playing by matching its features against a database, but it misfires most of the time and wastes CPU cycles.
Who it is for
Privacy-concerned users and developers should know the hidden CPU load and data collection, and can disable the feature or replicate the setup for testing.
