I completely agree. Beyond security, it could also be a convenience. For instance, my wife and I listen to very different music. So if I tell it to play music (generically) it should bring up different songs than if she did so.

Amazon's echo devices have "voice profiles" that you can switch. However, a system where anyone could speak and the Homepod could determine who was talking would far surpass this.

I wonder how Facebook might change if execs also got prison time, in addition to these fines.

We need to actually start holding executives accountable. Either financially or with prison time. Until then nothing will change. They will continue with their crap, and if they get let go they just cash in their $10M severance package while the rest of the 99% deals with the fallout of their crooked leadership. If Zuckerberg had to pay $10 for every leak, you know damn well they would stop.

Except that it makes no sense unless they are directly involved (with whatever the issue is) and there is evidence proving it. There's another article on AI today about a lawsuit over defective sleep/wake buttons. Is Tim Cook responsible for that? What about the engineers who designed and tested the sleep/wake button and its flex cable? Aren't they more accountable than Tim Cook? Do you think he should go to jail if there's an iCloud breach? Because I'm pretty sure TC isn't the one actually running the data centers and monitoring traffic and securing the servers.

Can any of Facebook's leaks of data or poor data management be directly linked to specific decisions made by Zuckerberg? If so, then sure, hold him responsible. But if someone far below him made a coding error or checked the incorrect box why should Zuckerberg do the time? Should Jeff Bezos be headed to prison since Amazon employees could tie the Echo recordings they're transcribing to a name and physical address of who was speaking when the recording was made?

Should we also start sending parents to jail when their kids break the law?
