I hope the abuses don't sour people on the whole technology. Used 
correctly models can be used on edge devices like a phone. This is a step 
forward. Now when you say the wake word like 'Hey Alexa', the rest of the 
transaction is handled by the Amazon, Google, or whatever server. Doing 
the complete process on the local device saves the internet traffic and 
also keeps your data where it belongs.

Unfortunately, M$ is taking the opposite approach, using local AI to 
potentially slurp up all your data. I'd taken several MIT courses on 
machine learning and part of the lectures that was stressed frequently was 
the ethical aspects.
