If you’re one of the eight or nine people on the planet who has never interacted with Alexa, you’re both missing out and not really missing out.

Speaking with MIT Technology Review, Rohit Prasad, Alexa’s head scientist, has now revealed further details about where Alexa is headed next. And, to paraphrase Kanye West, no one person or company should have all that power. But he and the company he works for probably have access to more of our data than ten Facebooks and Twitters combined. That’s not to say Prasad is a bad actor or anything but a talented scientist. We know how dangerous it is to let bad actors run amok with AI and our data – if you need a refresher, recall the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Rohit Prasad, the scientist in charge of Alexa‘s development, recently gave MIT Technology Review’s Karen Hao one of the most terrifying interviews in modern journalism. It’ll interpret our data, make decisions for us, and summon us when it has something to say. One day, perhaps sooner than you think, Alexa will take a proactive role in directing our lives. Alexa’s AI will be tailored to mold your actions, consumption and relationships. ⁃ TN EditorĪmazon has big plans for its virtual assistant. ![]() I have tried to make this list different than other lists but have also included many of our favorite movie, music and TV commands.Amazon is set to leapfrog Facebook’s dystopia and go directly to personal control just think Hal in the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
