Abstract
Between the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, nearly 1 billion people around the world use personal assistant devices daily. These devices are able to store information from our private conversations in order to make the devices more user friendly by targeting advertisements that relate to our interests. But what happens if our private conversations are stored for more than the above-mentioned purposes? This paper will examine a series of hypotheticals which involve devices, such as the Google Assistant, specifically relating to the devices’ audio recording capabilities. Not only will this paper point out the gaps in our current insider trading laws, but it will offer potential solutions to the problems addressed throughout the paper.
