Apple pledges to focus on Siri privacy features, fires 300 contractors in Cork, Ireland

Apple has implemented changes to its Siri privacy by making changes to its grading program. In a recently published article, the company details how it hired 300 contractors in Cork, Ireland, as part of a move to help secure privacy.

Per the article:-

First, by default, Apple will no longer retain audio recordings of Siri interactions, and continue to use computer-generated transcripts to help Siri improve.

Second, users will be able to opt in to help Siri improve by learning from the audio samples of their requests. Those who choose to participate will be able to opt out at any time.

Third, when customers opt in, only Apple employees will be allowed to listen to audio samples of the Siri interactions. The team will work to delete any recording which is determined to be an inadvertent trigger of Siri.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
