Executive Summary
As of 2018, nearly one in five US residents has access to a smart speaker, those AI- driven, voice- activated devices that act as personal assistants. We marvel at the capabilities this technology provides, as evidenced by thousands of online videos on the subject. A few of these videos even voice caution and alert us to potential risks to our privacy and safety. And these are valid considerations; wouldn’t you want to know how your personal information—what you buy, who you interact with, and what you talk about—is kept secure and that it does not compromise you in some way? And the potential risks extend beyond data security into the realms of ethics and law.
