Funded Activity Summary

The Law and Politics of Machine Listening. Machine listening refers to the branch of AI driving the rapid growth of smart speakers, voice assistants and other always-on listening devices. Many of its applications offer real benefits, but machine listening also poses urgent challenges across privacy, security, surveillance, human rights and other areas of law and politics. These challenges are yet to receive a systematic response. This project aims to examine the effects of machine listening’s emergence in order to develop a conceptual framework for regulation and greater public scrutiny of this growing field of power. These outcomes are intended to impact public policy and enhance the social benefits of future technologies, devices and services that use machine listening techniques.
