" 1.1 billion active users (20 billion texts, 93M selfless of which he says "about 31 M "are not faces."); phones checked 100B times/day."
How...how does he know all that?
The texting/forward-facing camera activations maybe, but the "Are not faces" part? Is google running facial recognition (That is, just looking for faces) on every shot you take? where is this data coming from?
Google+ Photos has facial recognition (Find My Face). So if google runs their facial recognition software on all photos where the user has set up their phone to automatically upload photos to Google+ and also agreed to the Find My Face feature (or some similar agreement that people generally just click through), that would give them a pretty good approximation of these numbers.
