When you use the internet to purchase a book from Amazon, order a menu, or even watch a movie on Netflix. Then you receive real-time suggestions for new services. Hence, you manipulate one of the intelligent recommendation systems. So how does Artificial Intelligence (AI) influence these systems' performance? Moreover, before that, what are recommender systems (RSs)?

Many households include children who use voice personal assistants (VPA) such as Amazon Alexa. Children benefit from the rich functionalities of VPAs and third-party apps but are also exposed to new risks in the VPA ecosystem. In this paper, we first investigate "risky" child-directed voice apps that contain inappropriate content or ask for personal information through voice interactions. We build SkillBot - a natural language processing (NLP)-based system to automatically interact with VPA apps and analyze the resulting conversations. We find 28 risky child-directed apps and maintain a growing dataset of 31,966 non-overlapping app behaviors collected from 3,434 Alexa apps. Our findings suggest that although child-directed VPA apps are subject to stricter policy requirements and more intensive vetting, children remain vulnerable to inappropriate content and privacy violations. We then conduct a user study showing that parents are concerned about the identified risky apps. Many parents do not believe that these apps are available and designed for families/kids, although these apps are actually published in Amazon's "Kids" product category. We also find that parents often neglect basic precautions such as enabling parental controls on Alexa devices. Finally, we identify a novel risk in the VPA ecosystem: confounding utterances, or voice commands shared by multiple apps that may cause a user to interact with a different app than intended. We identify 4,487 confounding utterances, including 581 shared by child-directed and non-child-directed apps. We find that 27% of these confounding utterances prioritize invoking a non-child-directed app over a child-directed app. This indicates that children are at real risk of accidentally invoking non-child-directed apps due to confounding utterances.

Smart home devices from companies such as Amazon and Google can be hacked and used to crash websites, steal data and snoop on users, an investigation reveals. Consumer group Which? has found poor security on eight smart devices, some of which are no longer supported with vital security updates due to their age. Examples include the first generation Amazon Echo smart speaker, released in 2014, and a Virgin Media internet router from 2017. All of the products had vulnerabilities that could leave users exposed to cybercriminals, Which? Domestic abuse survivors can also be tracked and controlled by ex-partners who exploit weak security on devices including Wi-Fi routers and security cameras.

Banks and financial services institutions face increased competition not only from peer organizations within the industry, but also now from FinTech startups, Neobanks, and others. The way to compete is to deliver highly personalized services and innovative offerings. And increasingly, the way to do that is using AI/ML to derive data-driven insights upon which those services and offerings can be based. Financial services institutions increasingly have sought to use new data sources to expand their traditional risk analysis and make more personalized offerings to a larger customer base. Many have gone beyond traditional methods (e.g., using FICO scores, credit history, salary, and more) and developed new risk models and highly individualized creditworthiness ratings based on the analysis of additional data sources.

The phrase "dynamic time warping," at first read, might evoke images of Marty McFly driving his DeLorean at 88 MPH in the Back to the Future series. Alas, dynamic time warping does not involve time travel; instead, it's a technique used to dynamically compare time series data when the time indices between comparison data points do not sync up perfectly. As we'll explore below, one of the most salient uses of dynamic time warping is in speech recognition – determining whether one phrase matches another, even if the phrase is spoken faster or slower than its comparison. You can imagine that this comes in handy to identify the "wake words" used to activate your Google Home or Amazon Alexa device – even if your speech is slow because you haven't yet had your daily cup(s) of coffee. In time series analysis, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is one of the algorithms for measuring the similarity between two temporal time series sequences, which may vary in speed.

In recent years, the world has been more inclined toward technological advancement and the emergence of new-age technologies in the digital space affects every sector throughout the world. As a result of this, improvements in various machine learning techniques, like AI, have been playing a big part in digital advertising.
