Amazon wants people to have much longer conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the future. Alexa is a smart voice assistant, which features on a wide range of products including speakers, phones, TV remotes and cars. However, it's currently suited to short interactions, such as straightforward questions and simple requests. Al Lindsay, the vice president of Amazon's Alexa Engine, wants the voice assistant to be capable of holding 20-minute conversations with people in the future, reports Yahoo Finance. "To truly realise that vision, you'll want a number of things," he said.
