Contractors in Cork were expected to each listen to more than 1,000 recordings from Siri every shift - before Apple suspended the practice last month, according to an employee who had their contract abruptly terminated this week.

Fixed-term workers in Cork were hired to listen to and ‘grade’ Siri recordings, the Irish Examiner has established.

This follows revelations that human third-party contractors worldwide were carrying out the work on behalf of the tech-giant without Apple users’ knowledge. ...

One employee who had their employment terminated following Apple’s decision told the Irish Examiner: “We had to sign a non-disclosure agreement when we started that meant we couldn’t talk about what we did in detail. We were not allowed to say we worked for Apple.” ...

Last month, a whistleblower told the Guardian that Apple contractors worldwide regularly heard confidential medical information, drug deals, sensitive business deals and recordings of people having sex picked up by Siri.




Sure, that's evil, but Siri is listening to your private conversations.



Not sure which is worse.
