The company’s documentation says it’s for detecting when people walk by so it can turn on the screen. Because apparently a good old fashioned motion sensor wasn’t good enough…
Edit: thought about this for another few seconds. It was probably so they could slap “AI” onto it for marketing.
A motion sensor would get tripped by anything that passes by, but even so, a basic image processing algorithm designed just to detect whether that thing is a human or not would be more than sufficient, there’s no need to identify specific people by face.

That doesn’t explain the demographic profiling though.
