I have no idea what their business model is, but this would be a great way to collect more data for training various forms of AI. Arguably without harvesting people's personal data or their creative works.
I also suspect that because it's an assistive tool, it can probably get a fair bit of grant money.

They make their money through private partnerships. Google licenses their technology to provide customer support to blind customers, for example.

Okay, bit how do you know that, and what is Google purchasing exactly? Nothing obviously explaining this on the site.
