Employees May ‘Share’ Amusing Recordings
Because of the possibility of false positive wakings, there are undoubtedly times when Amazon gets sent a recording of something a user didn’t intend to tell Alexa. One Amazon employee told Bloomberg that they sometimes come across recordings that users probably don’t want heard — like singing off-key in the shower or a child screaming for help.
Bloomberg notes that sometimes Amazon employees will share these audio recordings when they need help figuring out a certain word. Or, more concerningly, when an Amazon employee comes across an “amusing recording.”
