Amazon has unveiled Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse, while Apple plans new Apple Watch features. Lawyers say continuous listening and written summaries may still be classed as interception without consent.

Apple adds Siri Recap to Apple Watch, raising privacy concerns over always-listening AI
Apple has introduced Siri Recap on new Apple Watch models, a feature that summarises conversations in real time into short notes. Apple says it does not create or store audio recordings and that raw audio cannot be accessed by the operating system, apps, users or Apple.
