Google因被指控语音助手窃听用户而支付6800万美元

谷歌已同意支付6800万美元以解决一起集体诉讼,该诉讼指控这家科技巨头的语音助手非法录制用户并将其私人对话分享给广告商。

这份初步和解协议于1月23日提交至加利福尼亚州圣何塞联邦法院,需经美国地方法院法官贝丝·拉布森·弗里曼(Beth Labson Freeman)批准。

该诉讼源于几名谷歌设备所有者提起的诉讼,他们声称自己的对话在不知情的情况下被录制。尽管谷歌称其语音助手只有在用户说出激活短语(如”嘿谷歌”)时才会记录语音,但用户声称即使没有使用此类语言,他们的设备也会录制他们的语音。

一些索赔人声称,谷歌设备记录了关于财务问题、个人决定和就业的私人对话。

如果和解协议获得批准,谷歌将设立6800万美元的基金,用于支付所有消费者索赔、法院批准的律师费和其他费用。

谷歌(Alphabet旗下公司)未立即回应CBS新闻的置评请求。

根据和解协议,消费者最多可就三台谷歌设备提交索赔,但个人获得的金额将取决于提交的索赔数量。

这项协议与苹果公司的一起集体诉讼类似,后者指控其Siri语音助手窃听私人或机密对话。苹果设备所有者本月将从9500万美元的和解金中获得付款,每人约8至40美元。

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users

Updated on: January 26, 2026 / 12:58 PM EST / CBS News

Google has agreed to pay $68 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged the technology giant’s voice assistant had illegally recorded users and then shared their private conversations with advertisers.

The preliminary settlement, filed January 23 in federal court in San Jose, California, requires approval by U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by several Google device owners who claimed their conversations had been recorded without their knowledge. While Google stated that its voice assistant would only register people’s speech when consumers uttered an activation phrase, such as “Hey Google,” the consumers claimed that their devices recorded them even without using such language.

Some claimants alleged the Google devices recorded private conversations about financial issues, personal decisions and employment.

If the settlement is approved, Google will place $68 million in a fund that will pay all consumer claims, as well as court-approved attorneys’ fees and other costs.

Alphabet-owned Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from CBS News.

Consumers will be able to submit claims for up to three Google devices, although how much individuals receive will depend on how many claims are submitted, according to the settlement.

The agreement is similar to an Apple class-action lawsuit that alleged its Siri voice assistant had eavesdropped on private or confidential conversations. Apple device owners are this month receiving payments from the $95 million settlement, ranging from about $8 to $40 per person.
