A 10-year-old asked Alexa for a challenge. Its answer? Stick metal in a socket.

As if Alexa's general omnipresence weren't concerning enough, the AI assistant is now apparently telling children to stick coins in open electrical sockets. When asked for a new challenge to partake in, a 10-year-old girl was reportedly told by Alexa that she should "plug a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs." Amazon has already responded to the incident with a relatively abstract placation. "Customer trust is at the center of everything we do and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information to customers," the company told BBC. "As soon as became aware of this error, we took swift action to fix it. It's unclear what, exactly, Amazon did to "fix" the issue.
