As Clippy said, Automated Content Recognition. It essentially scans the screen for what’s going on. One use case would be if it sees product placement in a game, the next time ACT thinks a loading screen is up, it can show you an ad for that product. Or just generally showing ads when it thinks nothing is happening, I.e. I’ve paused the game, or I’m loading a new zone, or my multiplayer match just ended.
