近日，一位美國(guó)用戶(hù)在推特上爆料，亞馬遜Alexa智能語(yǔ)音助手建議她10歲的女兒去嘗試一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)挑戰(zhàn)，而這可能是致命的。克里斯汀·利夫達(dá)爾發(fā)推特稱(chēng)，在她的女兒向Alexa提出“想做一些有挑戰(zhàn)的事”之后，Alexa竟建議她將手機(jī)充電器插到墻上的插座里，只插進(jìn)一半，然后用一枚硬幣觸碰暴露在外的插頭。

Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it "challenged" a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug.
亞馬遜已經(jīng)對(duì)其Alexa語(yǔ)音助手進(jìn)行了更新，此前，Alexa建議一名10歲女孩挑戰(zhàn)用硬幣觸碰一半插在插座里的插頭。

The suggestion came after the girl asked Alexa for a "challenge to do".
女孩向Alexa提出“想做一些有挑戰(zhàn)的事”，之后Alexa提出這個(gè)建議。

"Plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs," the smart speaker said.
Alexa回答：“將手機(jī)充電器插到墻上的插座里，只插進(jìn)一半，然后用硬幣觸碰暴露在外面的插頭。”

Amazon said it fixed the error as soon as the company became aware of it.
亞馬遜表示，公司發(fā)現(xiàn)這一錯(cuò)誤后立即進(jìn)行了修復(fù)。

The girl's mother, Kristin Livdahl, described the incident on Twitter.
女孩的母親克里斯汀·利夫達(dá)爾在推特上描述了這一事件。

She said: "We were doing some physical challenges, like laying down and rolling over holding a shoe on your foot, from a [physical education] teacher on YouTube earlier. Bad weather outside. She just wanted another one."
她說(shuō)：“此前，我們跟著油管上的一位（體育）老師做了一些身體挑戰(zhàn)，比如躺下來(lái)，抓著腳上的鞋子翻身。那天外面天氣不好，她只是想再做一次類(lèi)似挑戰(zhàn)?！?/p>

That's when the Echo speaker suggested partaking in the challenge that it had "found on the web".
就在這時(shí)，Echo音箱建議女孩參加“在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上發(fā)現(xiàn)”的挑戰(zhàn)。

The dangerous activity, known as "the penny challenge", began circulating on TikTok and other social media websites about a year ago.
大約一年前，這項(xiàng)被稱(chēng)為“硬幣挑戰(zhàn)”的危險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)開(kāi)始在TikTok和其他社交媒體網(wǎng)站上流行。（危險(xiǎn)動(dòng)作，請(qǐng)勿模仿！）

"I know you can lose fingers, hands, arms," Michael Clusker, station manager at Carlisle East fire station, told The Press newspaper in Yorkshire in 2020.
（英國(guó)）卡萊爾東部消防局局長(zhǎng)邁克爾·克魯斯克爾在2020接受約克郡報(bào)紙《新聞界》采訪時(shí)稱(chēng)“據(jù)我所知，挑戰(zhàn)者可能會(huì)失去手指、手、手臂”。

"The outcome from this is that someone will get seriously hurt."
“這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)的結(jié)果是有人會(huì)受重傷?！?/p>

Fire officials in the US have also spoken out against the so-called challenge.
美國(guó)消防官員也公開(kāi)反對(duì)這種所謂的挑戰(zhàn)。

Ms Livdahl tweeted that she intervened, yelling: "No, Alexa, no!"
利夫達(dá)爾在推特上說(shuō)，她進(jìn)行了干預(yù)，大喊：“不行，Alexa，不可以！”

However, she said her daughter was "too smart to do something like that".
不過(guò)，利夫達(dá)爾稱(chēng)她的女兒“很聰明，不會(huì)做那樣的事”。

Amazon told the BBC in a statement that it had updated Alexa to prevent the assistant recommending such activity in the future.
亞馬遜在一份聲明中告訴英國(guó)廣播公司，他們已經(jīng)更新了Alexa，以防止該語(yǔ)音助手將來(lái)推薦此類(lèi)活動(dòng)。
