Google is facing a class action after its users claimed the company was spying on them.
The company has agreed to pay $68 million to settle a lawsuit as users accuse the company of violating their personal privacy.
Google’s virtual assistant, an AI powered software available on android phones and tablets, has been accused of recording private conversations.
The software activates when users use “wake words”, a verbal cue prompting the device to actively listen to commands, like “Hey Google” or “Okay Google”.
The assistant is designed to only switch from passive monitoring to active listening when it hears wake words.
