Microsoft: It listens to you on the Xbox One as well

If you haven't had enough of the follow-up stories from the tech majors , we have good news: Microsoft is listening to you through the reliable .

Η νέα αναφορά έρχεται από τη Motherboard και αποκαλύπτει ότι συνεργάτες της Microsoft άκουγαν τις εντολές που χρησιμοποιούσαν τις λέξεις “Xbox” και “Hey ”, But sometimes they also heard casual conversations. Earlier this month, Microsoft admitted that its employees listen to Skype calls and Cortana commands.

So now we have to include the Xbox (which uses voice commands before the release of Cortana in 2016).

Microsoft

Of course, this is somewhat disappointing, although it was something that everyone feared would happen when Microsoft made Kinect part of its system since the days of the Xbox 360.

No one wanted to hear Kinect hear random chats - and obviously that's exactly what happened. Microsoft - along with several other companies are collecting voice data to improve their AI software. All companies insist that the data they collect is anonymous as much as possible…

Microsoft told Motherboard, following the aforementioned Skype revelations, that it will try to be more transparent about the fact that people are listening to the audio data it collects, not some engineer. . He has since added a paragraph to the protection policy of the private life:

"The processing of personal data for these purposes includes both automated and non-automated (human) processing methods."

This is probably one of the reasons why it is good for Cortana to leave Xbox One in a future update.

Microsoft Digital Assistant will no longer be available on Xbox One this fall. This move is supposed to be made by Microsoft to move towards "cloud-assisted experiences", with whatever that may mean.
