The robot vacuum cleaner takes intimate photos of a woman
Although technology was born to be used in favor of the population, at least in general, it is not always entirely beneficial. To give you an idea, a case was recently published of a woman who had a photo released by a robot vacuum cleaner while she used the bathroom.
The Roomba J7 model robot is from the iRobot company. What happened at the end of 2020 and came to light after a group of workers from other companies posted this and other photos.
The company released a statement explaining that the images came from specially developed robots with hardware modifications and Software. Also, they weren’t for sale. They also said that these machines had been given to collectors and paid employees, who were already aware that there would be recognition of data and video that would go back to the company, so that there would be product and service improvement.
There was still a column in the document confirming that each user had signed a consent form for each device. In any case, the company did not go into detail on the matter.
iRobot only concluded by stating that the act of sharing images in social media groups totally violates the agreements and that the contract workers who had this attitude were totally against the previously established rules.
The company only selects images from training with data annotation partners and flags those that contain sensitive information. In addition, the privacy officer is called to check any confidential information.
Faced with this, iRobot supplemented by stating that if any incriminating image, including nudity, partial nudity, or sexual interaction, is discovered, it is immediately deleted.
