Topic Reading-Vol.2695-8/28/2019


Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Yes, tech companies may listen when you talk to your virtual assistant. Here's why that's not likely to stop
AI speakers and voice-controlled devices are still in a very early stage of development. They need to learn more what and how humans speak because the way people say the same things varies widely by person and situation. For example, some might ask, “What’s the weather like?” while others may say, “Tell me the weather forecast.”
These virtual assistants are run by machine learning algorithms that learn patterns from data. So, the more data they are given, the more accurate and appropriate they will become. And the data mean conversations for AI assistants. That’s why your conversations might be listened to by not only machines but also humans of the service providers, such as Amazon, Apple, and Google. They claim they listen to what and how you say to improve the quality of their AI services anonymously. But are users of AI assistant notified it clearly enough? Will there be any chance that the recording is used maliciously by someone?
Enjoy reading the article and think what and how you speak to your AI assistant from next time on.
