How does this make Microsoft money? What's their path to selling the result of this feature?

Probably targeted ads, since they claim the data doesn't leave the device, they get the AI to figure out what type of ads to show.

And they get it for free, using your electricity and hardware for the AI and also avoids some liability that comes with your personal data/EU compliance.

You need to drop big money for the new PCs that can run this crap... Plus you can bet they'll mine your data and sell you off like a chubby prostitute from the 1800s
