A week after a report in The Guardian revealed that humans in Apple’s Siri “grading” program were hearing private and illegal activity, Apple has suspended the program to conduct a review. It’s also working on a software update to give users the ability to opt-out (or maybe opt-in).
Apple issued a simple statement: “We are committed to delivering a great Siri experience while protecting user privacy. While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally. Additionally, as part of a future software update, users will have the ability to choose to participate in grading.”
