Mom claims Amazon Alexa suggested dangerous online challenge to child
Fox News
Kristin Livdahl tweeted this week that her Amazon Echo recommended the dangerous “outlet challenge” to her 10-year-old daughter.
In the screengrab, which appears to show Livdahl’s Echo’s activity, the apparent command says, "Tell me a challenge to do" followed by the Echo’s response.
"Here’s what I found on the web," the Echo appears to have responded. "According to ourcommunitynow.com: The challenge is simple: plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs."
