6 . If you walked by James Fasulo's bedroom, you might hear the 4-year-old child talking. You could think he was talking with his 4-year-old sister, Anna. But James would probably be talking to his smart speaker(智能音响). It's an Echo Dot. “I use it daily, ” he told reporters.

James often asks his Dot to tell jokes. He also asks it to play music. And his sister?“She asks for songs from Frozen, ” he said.

In December 2017, there were about 67 million smart speakers in homes in the United States. A year later, the number was nearly 119 million. “Families are interested in trying these products, ”says Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media.But with more kids using smart speakers, privacy(隐私) worries are growing.

Smart speakers are devices such as Google Home and Id Amazon's Echo. Users can use voice to start smart speakers.

Common Sense Media did a survey about smart speakers. They talked to more than 1, 000 parents with kids aged 2 to 8. The results were announced in March. About half of the parents said their kids use smart speakers and half of those kids use them daily.

Some parents reported that they had turned off a smart speaker microphone. Why? About on-third of them said they did it because they didn't trust the device(设备).

“A smart speaker might act like a human in some ways,” says Florian Schaub, a teacher who works at a university. “But a company can collect information about you with the smart speaker. Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies.”

“The recordings are used to help companies personalize(使个性化) service and advertisements, ”Schaub says. If users don't like this, he suggests turning off the speaker when it's not in use and setting privacy controls.
