A security researcher reverse-engineered his Samsung TV and discovered the device was secretly recording audio and transmitting it to an OpenAI account. The hacker found that the TV's voice assistant was continuously listening and sending data without user consent. After identifying the data flow, he traced it back to a suspended OpenAI developer account linked to Samsung.
The findings raise serious privacy concerns about smart home devices and their data handling practices. Samsung has not yet commented on the discovery, but the incident highlights the growing risks of AI integration in consumer electronics.
