Just How Dangerous Is Alexa?
Summary:
This article discusses the new device which is voice enabled and responds to voice commands. The main topic of the article is this ability within devices in relation to users' privacy particularly since the sound recorded is stored in its memory for quite a while even though it is only locally saved and not uploaded online. Therefore, people have concerns about whether this is safe as it is unknown whether these sound recordings are going to be transmitted elsewhere and why they remain in place.
No statistics had been posted.
My opinion:
This ties in with Tanya Byron's research regarding people being aware of how to stay safe using the internet and how such devices could bring problems to someone's life. There is also the risk of hacking which is being taken into consideration which, as we know, even newspaper institutions have done which can cause issues for the public and possibly institutions alike.
