Alexa is an internet of things device that listens to children's questions. It has a 'godlike voice' and always knows the right answer, but it can also be programmed with bias towards one race or sex over another. A recent story shows how some robots have been programmed with deep learning so they are able to beat chess grandmasters in their own games. The way our children interact with this technology is our biggest challenged.
