This summer, Snips is journeying 7,500 miles across America in a futuristic, voice-controlled Airstream to explore the biggest questions around AI, Voice, and data privacy.
The #VoicesofPrivacy Tour is an immersive, interactive exploration of artificial intelligence and data privacy in our connected world.
The CNIL (French Data Protection Authority)2
advises owners of connected speakers to switch off
the microphone when possible and to warn guests of the presence of such a device in their home. The
General Data Protection Regulation which harmonizes data privacy laws across the European Union3
indeed requires companies to ask for explicit consent before collecting user data.

The Snips Voice Platform is free for non-commercial use. Since its launch in Summer 2017, over
23,000 Snips voice assistants have been created by over 13,000 developers. The languages currently
supported by the Snips platform are English, French and German, with additional NLU support for
Spanish and Korean. More languages are added regularly.
Within the Snips ecosystem, the SLU components are trained on servers, but the inference happens
directly on the device once the assistant has been deployed - no data from the user is ever collected
nor stored. This design choice adds engineering complexity as most IoT devices run on specific
hardware with limited memory and computing power. Cross-platform support is also a requirement
in the IoT industry, since IoT devices are powered by many different hardware boards, with sustained
innovation in that field.
