This is an odd ranking for "worst types of data collected."

Personally, I'd be FAR FAR FAR more upset about my driving data being sent to insurance companies that I am about my voice recognition data being used to improve the voice recognition. But they seem to rank voice recognition training data and I suppose autopilot training data as the worst offenders.

Voice recognition might be abused to reconstruct your voice and have your recorded voice saying things you never said. Maybe.

That's already possible with a pretty minimal sample (a few seconds). Not worth getting too twisted up about the potential for a data breach setting your voice free.

This tech does open up the plausible defense to just deny anything said not face to face though.
