Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Gary Davis:

When a person speaks to Siri and asks it a question, the question is transcribed into computer generated texts on our servers and it is that text which is used to give the person back the response. If I ask Siri who won the football game last night, and I send that to our servers, those words are transcribed into text, and then that is the answer that is given back as to who won the game last night. That is the only transcription of text that we are undertaking.
