Kids will soon be able to have natural conversations with Alexa

Amazon used its annual hardware event on Wednesday to go all-in on Alexa's new large language model-infused capabilities, touting how easy it'll soon be to have a natural sounding conversation with the bot. This also extends to kids, as the company just announced Explore With Alexa. This is a pared-down and kid-friendly version of the updated chatbot that specializes in topics like animals and nature. It'll even play trivia games with your tykes and disperse daily fun facts. Of course, this is for kids, so the tech has been developed with guardrails to protect them from the more sinister parts of the Internet.
