Roomba Robot Vacuum Testers Find "Intimate" Photos Of Themselves On The Web

Well, it looks like you can score one for all of the "conspiracy
theorists" who have said they don't like "smart" appliances in their
home because they feel like they were being spied on.

And you can tell those writing off these concerns that intimate photos
of some Roomba tester vacuums have magically turned up on Facebook
after being ascertained by Venezuelan gig workers.

One woman even found photographs of herself on the toilet, taken by
her robot vacuum. What a time to be alive!

Breitbart reported last week that gig workers had posted pictures
online where they were discussing "work-related matters". One photo
was a woman sitting on a toilet seat with her shorts pulled down to
her mid thighs - it was taken by her Roomba J7 series robot vacuum,
the report says.

The photos were sent to iRobot by Scale AI, a startup that contracts
workers to label AI data used to train artificial intelligence, the
report says. Users had agreed to "participate in the data collection"
as part of a testing. They signed consent forms but now say they feel
"misled" about the true nature of the consent.

Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology
Oversight Project, told Brietbart: “There is a real concern about
whether the company is being deceptive if people are signing up for
this sort of highly invasive type of surveillance and never fully
understand… what they’re agreeing to.”

The MIT Technology Review conducted an investigation and determined it
to be gig workers in Venezuela. There were also photos of a child and
a woman using the restroom, the report says. iRobot has terminated its
agreement with ScaleAI in response to the investigation.
