How voice AI assistants work? What happens to my data? Are AI assistants secure? These are common questions and concerns to users of voice AI assistants.
Whether using Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant or another AI Assistant, the technology underpinning these systems is similar, and have many of the same security and privacy protocols as well as concerns.
“Always Listening - Can I trust my AI Assistant?” is podcast series produced with the goal of exploring these questions, as well as building a better understanding of how voice AI Assistants work. Created with the academic research project Secure AI aSsistants (SAIS), we get an insight into the latest developments in technology security and discuss the technology, privacy issues and future of the industry for a non-scientific audience.
Highlights include explaining the AI Assistant ecosystem, looking at Amazon Alexa as an example, and highlighting security measures in place as well as areas to be aware of.
This SAIS project is a cross-disciplinary research project between King’s College London, and Imperial College London, working with non-academic industry partners and policy experts, including Microsoft and Securys who you will hear from in this podcast.

In the first of our four-part podcast series from the SAIS research project, we explore how the voice AI Assistant system works, with some surprising insights along the way. From first saying the ‘wake-up word’ through to the action that is taken in the device: there is a lot of complexity in the underlying technology ecosystem to make that happen. Listen to find out how your voice commands are interpreted, where exactly the decision for action is made and who makes it.
We also answer that crucial question: Is my AI Assistant always listening?
In this episode we explain:
- What happens from the ‘wake-up word’ and command to action in voice AI assistants, using Amazon Alexa as an example.
- What a ‘skill’ is, the difference between native skills and third-party skills and why this matters.
- Where decisions are made and the data is sent - many believe it all happens in the device, but this is not the case.
- Is my AI Assistant always listening and recording my conversations?
We would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this podcast episode!
