Samsung's TV Runs a TensorFlow Lite Model Every Few Seconds to Guess What Game You're Playing

Samsung running a TensorFlow lite model on 960x540 image to track you

A researcher dug into Samsung's Tizen TV software and found a TensorFlow Lite build of AlexNet, saved as "alex.tflite", scanning 960×540 frames with INT8 quantization every couple of seconds to identify the game on screen. It compares features against a database by nearest neighbor and, by his account, fails about 99% of the time. Results are dumped before the consent gate even appears, so the CPU burns cycles for nothing.
