Alexa and Siri Can Hear This Hidden Command. You Can’t.

"Researchers can now send secret audio instructions undetectable to the human ear to Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant."

"These deceptions illustrate how artificial intelligence — even as it is making great strides — can still be tricked and manipulated. Computers can be fooled into identifying an airplane as a cat just by changing a few pixels of a digital image, while researchers can make a self-driving car swerve or speed up simply by pasting small stickers on road signs and confusing the vehicle’s computer vision system."

Fun article. Makes me think of the personal advertising from Minority Report, but envision our devices being targeted by undetectable audio as we walk by audible billboards.
