The devices I miss Amazon, with the Alexa app, they became enormously popular all over the world. They make everyday life at home easier and, in one way or another, they always represent good company among loners.
But, Alexa spy on us?
as it stands out hardzone, Echo is constantly listening to us. Just by saying “Alexa”, we receive an automatic response.
The app is used to control smart home devices, play music, set alarms and ask questions. How? Using a combination of natural language processing, machine learning, and cloud computing.
Once the device has detected our voice, Alexa analyzes the audio for keywords. If found, the app sends the request to the cloud for processing.
Already in the cloud, Alexa uses machine learning to identify the meaning of your request and generate a response: this is returned to the Alexa device and spoken through the speakers.
How much information does Alexa, the Amazon app, have about us?
we can check what is the information that Alexa has about us just by entering the Alexa app, then More and finally Activity History. “There we will see (and listen to) all the audios that have been recorded about us,” emphasizes Hard Zone.
But when we mean that if Alexa spies on us, it is knowing if another person can obtain data related to us.
Amazon emphasizes that our data is encrypted, since No third party can enter to see our searches. It also indicates that no employee of the company, but it does acknowledge that it uses our information for the purposes it considers.
The important thing is to be careful, take advantage of technology, but always knowing what type of information is going to be given to you. Or simply, don’t buy an Echo device from Amazon.
