If you're concerned about the future of voice assistant technology, I'd encourage you to contribute to Free voice assistant projects like Jasper or Mycroft. With enough support, locally-hosted Free voice assistants could be a credible alternative to cloud-based proprietary products.
Lots of related projects could also use your help. You don't need to be an AI genius - every FOSS project can benefit from help with debugging, cleaning up code and writing documentation. Mozilla Open Voice just want you to read a few sentences to help build their training corpus.
