If the Google duplex demo was good for Google Home Mini sales, a recent report bodes poorly for Amazon Alexa device sales for 2018. Amazon Echo secretly recorded a family’s conversation and sent it to a random person on their contact list.

This puts into question the security of Echo like devices. Meanwhile, Google outsold Amazon in smart-speaker sales for the first time last quarter, according to new data from the analytics firm Canalys. Google sold 3.2 million Google Home and Google Home Mini devices, while Amazon sold 2.5 million Echo devices. While this is not surprising, it’s probably accounted by the fact many households will want both solutions as the Voice-AI duopoly of the future is already set.
