Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I will have another episode of Alex's Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about how to stop Amazon listening to your Alexa conversations. Bloomberg recently reported that Amazon employs a global team which are located in several countries such as USA, Costa Rica, India and Romania that listen to your Alexa conversations which can range as long as 1000 clips per shift. Once you've said the wake word, Alexa, and these conversations are being heard by these employees to understand Alexa better and make the system better. However, Amazon didn't mention this anywhere and everyone is wondering if there's a way to stop Amazon listening to your conversations or test your conversations in a lab like a guinea pig. So that's what I'll talk about today. Amazon confirmed that the employees who are listening to your conversations with Alexa do not have any information to associate the conversations with the real name and address. So they were just listening to the conversation or they listened to the conversation but they do not know who you are or where you are. So these conversations are randomly picked conversations and they're just, you know, the purpose of this conversation is to use for testing purposes but it doesn't invade privacy or anything. However, all the Amazon mentioned that the conversations are being used are those once you say the wake word Alexa but there are cases that, you know, the conversations are recorded even you didn't say the word Alexa. So somehow Alexa just randomly listened to your conversation and their conversations which were found that such as a woman was singing in the washroom or the kids are like screaming or even people are giving out there or talking about their personal back information. So it's not really a 100% thing that, you know, only when you say the wake word Alexa and that the conversations which are being recorded are being tested. It can be any conversations in the room as long as you have Alexa set up in your location. To stop Amazon using your voice recordings there's an option on the account setting which I'll show you right now and you can opt out of Amazon using the voice recordings but this is not a 100% thing so it doesn't mean that you're opting out and Amazon is not going to be able to use your voice recordings or even other recordings when you didn't use the word Alexa. But, you know, something is better than nothing. The only sure thing or the only sure way you can make Alexa totally stop listening to you is not to have Alexa at all. So or you can just like, you know, disconnect Alexa or not have any device in your place. But that is not going to be possible for many of us. So whenever you're using, you know, you're having one of the smart speakers in your home, you're taking chances that, you know, someone is going to listen to you. Even when you didn't use the wake word, you're just having a normal conversation with your family members or friends or on the phone or even talking to yourself. So there are chances that, you know, and that's the chance you have to take if you want to use these smart devices. So if you do not want Amazon or Google or Apple or anyone to, you know, use your voice recordings, then the best way to handle this is not to have anything at all. So my personal opinion is that if someone listens to my conversation, I actually am not worried about that because, you know, there's nothing to take out of my conversation. I do not discuss any personal information during my conversation. I do not talk to anyone about any things that can be used to do anything. So in that way, I'm, you know, I don't feel this is a big issue for me. But for many of us, definitely you are not comfortable using someone to test your voice recordings or use your voice recordings in a lab as a kidney pig. So definitely, you know, you can opt out or if you don't like that option at all, then you can just stop using these devices. So that's all I wanted to talk about.
