Here we go again: Amazon AI-powered Cloud Cam actually powered by unseen humans who watch you have sex
Amazon's Cloud Cam home security device regularly sends video clips to employees in Romania and India, who help "train" its AI algorithms, according to five current and former employees who spoke to Bloomberg. The workers review the clips in order to help the system distinguish pet from threat - benign movement from malignant intruder. Cloud Cam users have no idea they're being watched by human eyes. The Cloud Cam's terms and conditions say nothing about humans watching footage from their security cameras, and an Amazon representative insisted that the only clips reviewed by employees are submitted voluntarily, for "troubleshooting" purposes. Other than that, "only customers can view their clips," the spokeswoman told Bloomberg, insisting Amazon "take[s] privacy seriously."
