Alexa Faces Backlash for Political Bias in 2024
News summary

A controversy has erupted over Amazon's Alexa providing biased responses in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris when asked about the 2024 presidential candidates. Alexa reportedly refused to provide reasons to vote for Donald Trump while offering several positive endorsements for Harris, citing her achievements and breaking gender barriers. Amazon has attributed this discrepancy to a software error and has since corrected it to ensure neutrality. The issue has drawn significant political backlash, with Senator Lindsey Graham demanding an explanation from Amazon, accusing the company of political bias. This incident coincides with broader concerns about Big Tech's influence on political processes and highlights ongoing debates about corporate neutrality in elections.
