Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to #Amazon starting on March 28

"Since Amazon announced plans for a generative AI version of Alexa, we were concerned about user privacy. With Alexa+ rolling out to Amazon Echo devices in the coming weeks, we’re getting a clearer view at the privacy concessions people will have to make to maximize usage of the AI voice assistant and avoid bricking functionality of already-purchased devices.

In an email sent to customers today, Amazon said that Echo users will no longer be able to set their devices to process Alexa requests locally and, therefore, avoid sending voice recordings to Amazon’s cloud. Amazon apparently sent the email to users with “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” enabled on their Echo. Starting on March 28, recordings of everything spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud."

One of the most interesting ideas from Yuk Hui is that technology is the way we relate to the world through a moral understandig of it, which begs the question What kind of morals are there guiding technology today? Especially knowing how most of the tech billionaires switched from progressive to fascist in a hearbeat. Even that aside looking a EU policy makers, that are supposed to regulate the tech giants, I‘m not sure they have enough morals to go around. #technology #philosophy #EU #ai #musk
