    Emphasis mine.

    Who is Marty the Robot and Why Do We Need Retail Service Robots?

    What Can Marty the Robot Do?

    When Marty notices spills or other trip hazards, he can alert customers verbally by saying “Caution. Hazard detected.” He can then contact employees through the store’s public announcement system. Marty the Robot can also scan shelves to check products and detect incorrect pricing or missing labels.

    Shoppers don’t need to worry that personal information about them is being collected. Any images or videos Marty captures is stored for a short period of time and is then destroyed. His focus is on identifying spills and price mismatches, not monitoring security.

      Any time a company says that, it rings more alarm bells than just saying nothing about the data at all these days.

        I'm serious when I say I wonder if it's already happened. The piggies just need to say "We need the footage" to investigate something. And the company will give it up without a fight. That always happens.

          I've been thinking about the need for a decent way to pull off verifiably black box ML. No writable storage. It's not actually possible in most situations, but it'd be neat as shit.
