Alexa refused to answer a woman’s question about why she should “vote for Trump” while offering a more compelling case for why she should vote for Harris.
“I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader,” the device’s female voice stated, in response to the Trump question.
When the same question was posed to Alexa seconds later, replacing Trump’s name with Harris’, Amazon’s virtual assistant argued, “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country.”
On social media, several users shared video clips on X Tuesday showing the device providing biased responses to similarly phrased questions about the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees.
Amazon claims the bias was the result of an “error”

Yeah, it’s always just an “error”. They should be jailed for election interference
the most significant may be that she is a female of color
and there it is...
Doesn’t Amazon get a lot of Fedzilla data contracts? Trump needs to hit him in the pocketbook when he gets in. And have Elon Musk go through the contracts looking for efficiencies.
Iconic fight fight fight photo hidden from search results = “error”
Google “Trump rally” and news about Harris is shown = “error”
Now this Ask Alexa = “error”
Etc etc etc
I definitely don’t see a pattern though
errors always go one way
weird
Alexa doesn’t argue with me, but I only ask her to turn on the lights.
Just how much Color is Komrade Kammie a woman of?
It was no error. It was deliberate and intentional, and done with full knowledge and awareness.
The voice response system is not totally automatic. There is exception code, manually inserted that handles special cases and produces the proper woke responses.
And recall that AWS (Amazon) also shut down “Parler” because they could not tolerate the truth being told.
Most AI is fed pro climate change and pro liberal b.s. and is therefore very biased. And, it will never disparage AI.
Could have been deliberate by an Amazon employee - or someone knows where Alexa pulls her information and manipulated to get her to say that.
I changed a Wikipedia entry once then asked her a question about it and what I changed it to was immediately what she said. This was a few years ago now - they supposedly had to change some things around to prevent her responses from being so easily changed.
What would one expect of Amazon when Jeff Bezos (founder, executive chairman, and former president and CEO of Amazon) also owns the Washington Post. “Error” my behind.
Sickening.
Error my derriere. That should be turned over to the FEC as in-kind campaign contributions. If it had done that in reverse, the media would have been all over it.
Alexa, Siri etc..if you use them or have them in yoor house you get what you get. I won’t have anything like that in my home. My computer microphones and cameras are disabled, I don’t talk to my remote for smart TVs, don’t talk to my phone for searches just phone calls, reset advertising ID on TV’s regularly, clear cache, history etc on computers from one tab to the next and block all Google data collection analytics etc and I get no personal ads directed at me on anything.
