Amazon's Alexa Faces Criticism for Alleged Election Interference in Responses About Trump and Harris

Sep 3, 2024, 03:17 PM

Amazon's Alexa has come under scrutiny for allegedly providing biased responses when users ask about voting for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. According to multiple reports and videos shared by social media users, Alexa refuses to give answers when asked why one should vote for Trump, citing an inability to support specific political parties or candidates. However, when asked about voting for Harris, Alexa reportedly provides a detailed list of reasons to support her. This discrepancy has led to accusations of election interference and biased behavior by Amazon's virtual assistant. Jeff Bezos has also been called upon to address these concerns. An Amazon spokesperson acknowledged the issue, stating that it was an error that has since been corrected.
