Afaik it is not, actually. The devices are taught to recognize the wakeup words (like "ok google") completely offline, and only the stuff recorded afterwards gets uploaded to the cloud of contractors.
- DanHulton 7y agoThe phones listen in the same fashion as the in-home devices, is what I mean - they both work on the wakeup words. So if you're mistrustful of the in-home devices, you should be petrified of your morning commute.
- tadzik_ 7y agoAIUI the whole point of this drama is that a lot of these conversations were obviously "random", as in: not triggered by the wakeup words.
