Alexa+ Revolutionizes Smart Home Interactions
Alexa+, Amazon's new virtual assistant, is set to revolutionize smart home interactions with its multimodal, agentic capabilities. Powered by LLMs, Alexa+ can now process visual information via your device's cameras to understand and answer questions. Additionally, the AI-powered assistant can navigate the internet via Alexa.com and complete tasks for you on Amazon-partnered websites. The new Alexa will be "something that understands you, that can actually take action."
- As Alexa becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it's essential to consider the potential risks of relying on a single, omnipotent AI entity for decision-making.
- How will the widespread adoption of Alexa+ impact our collective understanding of what it means to have agency in a world where technology is making decisions on our behalf?
