Amazon got a problem, all because the name decided to give his voice assistant: Alexa.
Now, parents in the UK who named their same children have gone after the technology giant to change the name AI-Powered voice assistant for something that is not human because their children are picked by bullies, according to the reports by the BBC.
Imagine your name Alexa and you are still in school.
Someone calls you with your name just to issue orders as done for smart devices by Amazon.
How do you feel? The bullies will have a field day with alexa jokes and can even be creative uncomfortable or disgusting.
The report said that even adults were behind Alexa’s jokes.
Something that seems to happen to children who have been named Alexa.
So many reported some parents even change the names of their children.
The report said that there were more than 4,000 people named Alexa, aged under 25 in England, and some of their parents had approached the BBC with stories like their children who faced the burden of jokes and were disturbed.
Amazon said that “sadness” by the experience that children had to face.
The technology giant said in a statement to the BBC: “We design our voice assistants to reflect the quality we value in people – being intelligent, attention, empathy, and inclusive.
We are sad with the experience you have shared, and want to be very clear: Intimidation of all types is not acceptable, and we condemn it in terms as hard as possible.
“Does Amazon really change the word wake from the AI digital assistant? The technology giant said that besides Alexa, he also offered other words such as Echo, Computers and Amazon.
But the problem with Alexa became a wake word.
During staying at the Amazon Dictionary, there was no cessation of jokes.
But until now, there is no confirmation that the company will memo name.
