talk about eavesdropper that millions of people have right in their living rooms i see you've brought a guest with you this one this one's unplugged so i think it's not listening to us but you never know if this is. so if this were plugged in this is the echo device what is this. it's a smart speaker from amazon and one of the jokes that was floating around when they first came out was oh you never know when it's listening it says it's not always listening but might be a minute turns out that yes in fact it is always listening to you not only is it listening but there is a person on the other end of the speaker that is listening to what you're saying and recording it now the things that thing about this the good news is that it's anonymized name's not attached to it your address is attached but there are account numbers attached to it and there is a stranger listening to whatever you say to the speaker in the intimacy of your own home and if we can take a look at the original amazon alexa ads they are they really were very going very

strong on this idea of this little robot being integrated into your family it was a comforting device that was going to help you live your life there was going to be help i was going to see if it was going to be your friend home with you but exactly is it going to be this little passive friend in your life and now this story coming out is kind of blown back to smithereens no amazon has said this is all about quality control improving the mechanism one of the advertising for this ad is that it looks to lives in the cloud and she's always getting smarter. her but it's not this magical machine learning by which she's getting smarter it's people people are using her and teaching her how to be smarter so there is someone listening. what if i don't want this thing listening to me can i turn that feature off for example the good news is yes you can there is an opt out option but of course as just as people

don't know that there's someone listening they also don't know that they can opt out of it and this is a trend that we've seen with a lot of these big tech companies recently for instance it turned out that facebook was still tracking users for months after users deleted their facebook accounts we can see the ad preference page here on facebook where you can see just how many advertisers have your information you can control a little bit but that is there long after you leave facebook and even google there was a report last year saying that people were still being tracked by google after they turned off their location services in google so it's not only impossible not to live your life without these services but it's also impossible to make them stop paying attention to you so if you are one of the seventy eight million people who bought one of these alexa speakers last year you should assume that yes there is someone listening to you and they are recording what you are say ok amazon is listening to us maybe we should be surprised by that possibly not used by slater and alexa thank you for joining us. to football now on late drama and the friday
