Amazon revamps Alexa with generative AI for enhanced voice assistance
Hindustan TimesAmazon on Wednesday unveiled the first major overhaul of its Alexa voice assistant since its introduction more than a decade ago, embedding it with generative artificial intelligence. Amazon included generative artificial intelligence into its Alexa voice assistant on Wednesday, marking the first significant update to the voice assistant since its launch over ten years ago. "Alexa knows almost every instrument in your life, your schedule, your smart home, your preferences, the devices you're using, the people you're connected to, the entertainment you love and uses many of the apps you use, a lot of the services you need," said Panos Panay, Amazon's head of devices and services, at a launch event in New York. While Amazon's Alexa was launched three years after Apple's Siri hit the iPhone maker's devices, Alexa helped make the use of voice assistants more mainstream.
