In an era where internet of things (IoT) devices—from virtual assistants and smartphones to coffee makers and washing machines—are ubiquitous, data exhaust is particularly troublesome. Many IoT device users have no idea how much data is being generated, how it is being collected and what it is being used for. This comes with significant risks.

Artificial intelligence can process large amounts of chicken vocalizations, identifying patterns in the birds’ communications.
