9 June - 18 minsIs your phone really listening to you or is something more complex going on behind the scenes?

They explore why this feels so convincing and why it keeps happening. From behavioural signals to location data and algorithmic prediction, they explain why the reality may be both less sinister and more powerful than people think.
