I would like to address both Apple and Google, because the presentations we heard last week from UCD and the Data Protection Commissioner's office were very interesting on this subject. Would the witnesses agree with all the content in their submissions? The Data Protection Commissioner's office referred to the capability of the witnesses' companies now to translate audio clips into text clips, effectively, and that was a central part to all the machine devices, be it Siri, Google Assistant or mobile phones. Was the Data Protection Commissioner's office correct in the way it depicted the capability of the witnesses' companies to translate our audio into text?
