Why Amazon Might Give Developers Access to Alexa's Audio Recordings

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has built one of the most advanced voice assistants on the market with Alexa. The assistant comes baked into Amazon's popular Echo speaker, as well as other devices, and allows users to ask information about the weather or sports scores, control connected smart-home features, and of course, order products from Amazon's website.

The Echo starts listening when a user says key words like "Amazon, Echo, Alexa, or computer,"and Amazon saves some of the audio recordings in order to teach Alexa to understand commands better. So far, Amazon has kept the voice recordings that the Echo collects very private, but a new article (paywall) from The Information says Amazon may soon allow developers to access these voice recordings, as well.
