Gadgets & Gizmos: Largest data leak ever, Skoda's weird AI & AI's misleading financial advice
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Steve Caplin discusses the way the University of Vienna got details of 3.5 billion people from Whatsapp in the largest data leak in history. He was mystified by the in-built questions for Laura, Skoda's in-car AI. More worrying is the misleading financial advice AI has been giving about ISAs and travel insurance. Among gadgets Steve does not recommend are a tiny Kodak camera for a keychain, a Swiss Army knife for baristas and an acoustic camera that detects the source of a sound. And, disconcertingly, he reports that one in five teens apparently find it easier to talk to chatbots than they do to people.
