Η Microsoft και η Intel αποκάλυψαν ότι συνεργάζονται για να κάνουν πιο λειτουργικό το Cortana. Σύμφωνα με τα τελευταία νέα η προσωπική βοηθός της Microsoft θα είναι σε θέση να ενεργοποιήσει και τον προσωπικό σας computer.
Intel he revealed that in collaboration with Microsoft for Cortana, they intend to use long distance speech recognition technologies. So users will be able to operate their computers through the digital assistant.
In other words, you can shout "Hey, Cortana" to your computer from another room and Windows 10 will start.
But if you think about it a little bit more, you will see that this news is causing ambivalence. Are we happy or worried?
In fact, what Microsoft tells us is that it will be able to hear what's going on in our house, even in the next room.
I do not think that I am a destroyer, but this is a great concern to me.
Why
Okay, let Microsoft get the data, let those who choose it rejoice. After all, you have all agreed to the terms of use product(although I think the terms should be changed for that particular feature). But if Microsoft can, why can't someone who has a zero day in their hands listen to what is happening inside our homes?
Why not have access σε αυτά τα δεδομένα και οι μυστικές ή φανερές services;
At the moment we do not have information on how much the digital assistant can hear, the range, whether it can distinguish voices in noisy environments, whether the data will be collected by telemetry, and who will have access… (and do not expect that the Microsoft will list those who will actually have access).
And while Intel says:
"We see a world of opportunities with artificial intelligence. "Our engineers are working closely with Microsoft to add long-distance speech recognition and improved voice activation to computers, which will make them much smarter." We need to prepare for what's to come.
I think that in the next few years the actions of the NSA that we learned from Snowden, will be the fault of what is coming to us and we just accept it as a news technology.
We should probably all accept that there will be no more privacy, with or without a computer, telephone, refrigerator, toaster, etc…
