Sony is permanently on my list of companies that I will never trust.

Sony's Aitrios could make Raspberry Pi devices even more powerful. Sony has pitched the system for uses like surveillance, security and more. This could include inventory monitoring and retention, customer counting, license plate recognition and employee analysis.

Sony noted that it preserves privacy by analyzing data strictly on-chip and only sending metadata to the cloud.
Fuck you very much. "Oh it's not real data, it's just metadata" is the tagline of every privacy-raping surveillance program ever.

And beside all that, for me the appeal of the RPi has always been that there's nothing there that doesn't need to be there. A Sony metadata surveillance chip does not need to be there in the same way that a fan-cooled GPU or a floppy disk drive do not need to be there.
