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.
