Summary
Amazon is set to reveal a new version of its Alexa voice assistant equipped with generative artificial intelligence at an event on February 26, featuring Panos Panay, head of devices and services. This upgrade is expected to significantly enhance Alexa's capabilities, allowing it to handle multiple requests simultaneously, perform tasks autonomously, and personalize user interactions based on preferences. The updated version will be compatible with existing devices and will initially launch for a limited audience, while the current Alexa will still be supported. The company is addressing technical challenges related to generative AI to improve the response speed and reliability of the assistant.
