I'm wondering if we will also see an enterprise use case that automatically scrubs and converts emails and IMs to match a preferred tone. Externally there is usefulness in consistency of communication, and internally there's potential HR and eDiscovery risk mitigation value propositions.

On the privacy front, I'm wondering if there are lessons to be taken from Google and Amazon's forays into smart home devices. Neither company seems to have realized their goals there, whether those were revenue or data collection, and both companies have seen widely-publicized layoffs on those teams. I've personally already made the general trade off of convenience in exchange for my sense of privacy, but the camera on my Alexa device remains covered and with restrictive settings - so perhaps a different standard for devices in general.
