) Google have globally suspended reviewing recordings from users interacting with their voice assistants, as concerns over data privacy mount.
The decision comes after the Guardian last week reported that the company’s contractors tasked with reviewing the recordings regularly heard confidential information and private conversations. “While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally,” an Apple spokeswoman said in a statement, adding that users will be able to opt out of the program in a future software update.
Amazon also said it allows users to opt-out of having their voice recordings used to help develop new Alexa features.
