RE: BUSTED! Google & Amazon "Digital Assistant" Patents For Spying Exposed!

in #dtube7 years ago

Always wondered if that was going to become reality. Read a story some time back about an Amazon Echo calling the cops on a Husband that was physically abusing his family. So I suppose not all is bad.. Still scary to think about tho.

Sort:  

tspink - that is actually terrible. Regardless of what is going on in my house, I do not expect my machinery to intervene. The wife can place a complaint or call the police if that is what is required. How does an item of machinery know what is in fact happening? They could have been into some sort of sick sexualised playacting or something, acting out a rape fantasy. No thanks mate. If and when I need intervention I will not rely on my smart devices (of which I own none) to provide it for me, and until then, I expect no intercession from them.

Or you could have you kids taken away from you if one them throws a tantrum and one of your gadgets infers that you are abusing them and calls the police.
