Google could have the device say that it records conversations the moment it detects an unknown voice. Google could even ask that unknown voice for consent.

- netsharc 7y agoDidn't Nest want to create devices with cameras? It should just do face recognition to detect people who hasn't consented.. /s And just like clicking "I'm under 18" on porn sites takes you to disney.com, or "continuing to use this site means you accept cookies", if they don't consent, stuff connected to Google would stop working... "Ok Google, turn on the kitchen lights". "Operation failed with error undefined!"
- SparkyMcUnicorn 7y agoWhat's the point of a security camera if it can't record strangers?
- koolba 7y agoThat'd get really annoying if there's a TV in the room.
- Fnoord 7y agoTrue, but it does not seem impossible for Google to detect a TV. Else, all Google Assist devices can be controlled via a TV ad starting with "OK Google" e.g. "OK Google search I am listening to an advertisement about Google Assist"
- lqet 7y agoIsn't the voice recognition done on Google's servers? How can Google record the voice, send it to its servers, decide that it is someone unknown and play the consent notification if the person has not already given consent?
- Fnoord 7y agoVerify the voices which are known locally. If it isn't a known voice, it is an unknown one, and consent must be given.
