Amazon’s Alexa asks the 10-year-old to touch the plug with a penny

Amazon’s Alexa seems eager to remind us all: She makes the rules. That’s what a 10-year-old girl almost learned on Monday when, after asking Alexa for a challenge, she received a potentially fatal answer: “The girl’s mother, Kristin Livdahl, took to Twitter to show what could have been a crisis.” We did some physical challenges, like lying down and toppling over with a shoe on our feet [physical education] teacher on YouTube before, “she told a user.” Bad weather. She just wanted one more. ” The company contacted Livdahl on Twitter and told the BBC that it would prevent the unit from recommending the “challenge”[ads1]; again. “Customer trust is at the heart of everything we do, and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant and useful information to customers,” it said. “As soon as we became aware of this error, we took swift action to fix it.”
