@Fracture @6a62 There's another press release over here: https://www.sony.co.uk/presscentre/news/raspberry-pi-receives-strategic-investment-from-sony-semiconductor-solutions-corporation
It can't find text-based sources that specifically state it, however Sony says in their marketing video (in the extremetech article) that their technology is based on some kind of AI chip they produce which only works in tandem with "the cloud".
Also raspis ain't capable of proper AI calculations - those SoCs are way too weak without specialized hardware.
@Fracture @6a62 This means the chip will, most likely, work for image recognition to piece together metadata which then in turn can be processed either locally or, and that's the way worse variant, via the Sony cloud.
