I would not conclude the discussion the same way.
I guess most people do not know what voice processing could achieve for a company interested in exploiting it (comercially and otherwise). It also makes a huge difference if we talk about consumers or corporate users (employees). In the latter case, confidentiality is a critical requirement and off-site processing has more implications (up to the point where you need a contract).
This is an interesting interaction. I think that assistants need a comprehensive and granular consent management service. Comprehensive means it counts for all skills and features. Granular means you can control behavior, for instance:
- per skill/feature
- per context (e.g., location or topic)
- globally
- per user (assuming multi-user capabilities)
- per device
- based on profiles (e.g. paranoid)
- proactive (user instructs assistent when to use Internet)
- reactive (assistant asks if it can use Internet)
