The aim of this work was to analyze what information different personal assistants reveal without verifying the owner's voice, and what real risks exist in impersonating the owner's voice. To do this, a test protocol was defined, including commands for demanding generic information, personal information, and more sensitive requests such as making calls or purchases. To deceive the personal assistants, tests were carried out with various synthetic voices, including generative AI systems to create voice models based on the user registered in the assistants, hence allowing commands to be synthetically generated with the person's voice features. This study worked with Apple HomePod, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home assistants, which are the main devices on the market. It was possible to verify what type of information each system communicates without performing user validation and how accurate was the voice verification algorithm (activation command) depending on the synthetic voices used. We proposed a Synthetic Speech Detection system as a secondary security layer to identify whether a voice mimicking a target individual was synthetically generated. To evaluate this, a preliminary study on the fidelity of modern synthetic voices was conducted through subjective listening tests. The results indicate that human participants attained only a marginal performance above the 50% stochastic baseline, confirming the high perceptual transparency of current models and the inherent difficulty of the detection task.; Smart Personal Assistants (SPA) can be trained with the owner's voice, and its voice features act as a biometric access password.

A recent effort to reverse this abandonment has insisted on their positive contribution to free political expression and to an urban version of deliberative democracy. This article identifies the “balcony peer effect”: an endogenous mechanism whereby eye-level visibility across neighboring building façades synchronizes political signaling. This effect complicates the idea that balcony displays are purely individual acts of conviction. We argue that, in contexts marked by political polarization and a cultural preference for conflict avoidance, decisions to express (or not express) political views from one's balcony are shaped by the micro-politics of visibility among neighboring residents. Individual expression appears subject to normative pressures rooted in the anticipated judgment of “balcony peers,” with whom a minimal outward harmony is socially desirable. While our data are correlational and do not establish causality, they suggest that public expression is not solely the result of internal belief, but also a socially embedded practice. Empirically, we draw on two survey-based case studies in Madrid, Spain. The first was conducted during the 2017 Catalan crisis, when Spanish flags appeared on balconies; the second during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, when nightly balcony applause for healthcare workers became widespread. Our results confirm that balcony peers spur imitation in political displays, and this influence is strongest when the act contradicts the individual's own ideology.

Defiende que el arte no solo expresa belleza, sino también las tensiones, miedos y búsquedas de sentido de cada época.; The chapter analyses how unease, anxiety and anguish are part of human experience and can become a driving force for artistic creation. It argues that art expresses not only beauty, but also the tensions, fears and searches for meaning of each period. Descripción : Capítulos en libros 2026-05-11T00:00:00Z
