If ever there was a red flag story about Amazon’s Alexa then this is it.

 

If you watch the “Alexa for Medical Care Advice” video posted above, you will hear Alexa asking Peggy, to “tell me about the symptoms or problems that are troubling you the most.”

 

Divulging your health issues to a private corporation is extremely troubling as you will see.

 

Let’s start with the obvious concerns and talk about something you will not see in the video.

 

Like Peggy telling Alexa, it is none of Amazon’s business what her health concerns are and Alexa should stop listening to everything she says.

 

But many Americans do not have an issue with Alexa listening to their everyday conversations and have no problem asking Alexa health questions. Because, ‘they have nothing to hide’ and there-in lies the problem.

 

I challenge anyone to walk up to a stranger while recording the conversation and ask them about their health issues and see what happens. And if you really want to see what happens ask them about their kids health issues etc. Would anyone like to guess what their response will be?

 

So if a stranger refuses to discuss their personal health issues with someone they do not know, why on earth would they trust Amazon?

Earlier this month, Amazon officially introduced “Alexa Healthcare Skills” which transmits and receives personal healthcare information.
