Apple Stops Letting Contractors Listen To Siri Voice Recordings, Will Offer Opt-Out Later
Apple says it will temporarily suspend its practice of using human contractors to grade snippets of Siri voice recordings for accuracy. The move follows a report in The Guardian where a former worker detailed the program, claiming that contractors "regularly hear confidential medical information, drug deals, and recordings of couples having sex" as part of their job. The Verge reports: "We are committed to delivering a great Siri experience while protecting user privacy," an Apple spokesperson says in a statement to The Verge. "While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally. Additionally, as part of a future software update, users will have the ability to choose to participate in grading." Apple did not comment on whether, in addition to pausing the program where contractors listen to Siri voice recordings, it would also stop actually saving those recordings on its servers. Currently the company says it keeps recordings for six months before removing identifying information from a copy that it could keep for two years or more.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
