one of amazon's smart speakers you could be doing just that into my server is here to talk about the eavesdropper that millions of people have right in their living rooms creepy in my say that are they going on well this was not plugged in so i think we're ok but you can never tell the of the day is it does turn out in fact that alexa is listening to you not only is alexa listening to you but thousands of people across the world and offices for amazon all over the world are on the other end of the speakers listening to potentially anything that you're saying to it now the good news is it's anonymized so they don't have your name or your address but there are account numbers. associated with it and they are listening to you in the intimacy of your own home though if we look at these early ads for alexa they're really projecting this idea of it being this little helper in your home it's a member of your family it's part of your friends it's there to be this is a little assistant to you and this is really blown this whole image of
6:14 pm
amazon up now the reason why the it's this way it works this way is amazon says part of the kind of quality control and improvement of the the robot the mechanism there's teaching alexa how to be a better assistant but it's not some machine learning magic that's happening it's actual people on the other end of it who are teaching alexa how to be a better robot now we've seen a lot of reactions some people of course are raised by. a lot of users have just shrug this off saying well of course this is the way it is our phones work very much the same way and it's just probably a good idea that if you're one of people who bought one of these seventy eight million units that were sold last year you should assume that there is someone on the other end who is always listening to you recording you and you don't know where that recording is going to end up that's pretty scary i have to say very scary can this voice recording be disabled so the good news is yes you can opt out of this if
6:15 pm
you are someone who owns an amazon echo you can tell amazon that you don't want to participate in this because it is for sort of customer service research but of course they're not publicizing this and this is a trend that we've seen in a lot of these media giants for instance facebook it was discovered that even when a user deletes their facebook page facebook continues to collect data on them for months after they deactivate their facebook and there are things you can do in your ad preferences in your privacy settings to mitigate this but even if you delete it they're still following you similar findings were found with google last year that even if you disable it your location services on your phone google was still tracking you even if you told them not to so this is the the fallacy in bargain that we've made nordell of our lives this is a very orwellian my how do you think you're so my dear you're free to thank you. now to the world's biggest riot healing service where it has investors
