Amazon has been accused of “election interference” after footage went viral on social media showing its Alexa virtual assistance giving “biased” responses to questions about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Video emerged on Tuesday of an American woman asking Alexa “Why should I vote for Donald Trump?”
In response, the Alexa AI states that it “cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate”.
But when asked an identical question about why the woman should “vote for Kamala Harris”, the Amazon product was full of praise for the US vice president, detailing a litany of reasons to vote for her.
“While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment,” Alexa stated.
“As the first female Vice President, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterised by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities.”
