Arkansas authorities requested data from Alexa Voice Service that they say might be evidence in a murder prosecution. Amazon refused, claiming that the data was protected by the First Amendment. Had it gone to court, precedent-setting decisions about IoT data privacy might have been made, but the defendant has agreed to allow Amazon to release the data, presumably answering the question "Is Alexa a witness to murder?" but leaving open the more complex legal questions about AI and privacy.
I found this very interesting and hadn't really thought about all the legal implications this case is suggesting.
