AI-helpers as Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa is increasingly common fixture in the Norwegian home.
The virtual assistant, which Amazon calls their software Alexa, is also in constant development. And Amazon users can be involved in the development of the artificial intelligence (AI).
But it has not come without a price, writes the news agency Reuters, which mentions a game of chance that went wrong.

to make the system Alexa becoming better, keeps Amazon every year a competition for IT-students. Teams competing to create the best taleboten, which allows smarthøyttaleren with Alexa result in increasingly sophisticated conversations with the users.
Including the us users of the AI assistant has been able to participate in the development of these bots. By saying “let’s chat” Alexa got the users information that the assistant’s usual restrictions forduftet, and that they now talked to a talebot.
To use the customers as guinea pigs has been a game of chance that Amazon ceo Jeff Bezos has been willing to go on, writes Reuters.

It is not the only Amazon-mistake that has come to light this week.
On Thursday informed the company that a “human error” had led to a customer in Germany got access to a smarthøyttalers voice recording by accident, writes Reuters.
It seems, however, not to be a deterrent.

And in 2019, it is expected that more than 25 percent of the Us population will use a so-called smarthøyttaler, for example, the Amazon Echo with Alexa or a Google Home.
