科技公司借 AI 硬件重新定义「录音」引发争议
原标题：We can’t just change the definition of ‘recording’
AI 摘要
The Verge 发表评论文章，讨论科技公司借助 AI 硬件重新定义「录音/录像」概念。文章指出苹果据报正在研发不保存视频的智能家居摄像头，转而用 AI 生成文字描述，Apple Watch 的 Audio Intelligence 也声称不保存音频；Google 可穿戴设备负责人同样在考虑让智能眼镜摄像头只做图像传感器而不录制。作者认为，只要生成了可保存、可回看的文字记录，本质上仍构成「记录」，并担忧这种语义模糊会削弱隐私信号与公众知情。

Microphones capture sound. Cameras capture images. That data is saved onto a device. Sometimes, it’s also sent to the cloud — hopefully with end-to-end encryption — for processing.
