IBM blocks Siri over privacy concerns

IBM blocks Siri over privacy concerns

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

If you happen to be an IBM’er who owns an iPhone, you will no longer be able to use Siri, at least while in the office.
Facing growing privacy concerns pertaining to the “bring your own device (BYOD)” trend, many companies are attempting to figure out ways to ensure private company data is protected. Several mobile services store some of your personal data, be it contact lists or voice search history on your device, leaving certain data ripe for the picking. Siri is a well-known offender, and Apple’s privacy policy openly states that they store your Siri search items on its servers to better improve Siri and other Apple products and services.

Since 2006, IBM has predicted what technological advances the next five years will bring as part of its "5 in 5" series, and this year the company says that by 2017 the technology to read brain impulses will have advanced to the point where you could conceivably have a baseball hat that reads your mind and transmits your thoughts to your smartphone. This sounds great, but the recent "Project Black Mirror" Siri hack / hoax brought some attention to thought-controlled computing and it sounds like this technology is still much more than five years away.
