Let's say I bought a children's toy that for $35 my child could speak to and receive responses from.
One day, I overhear it telling my child to hurt itself as part of a game, and it begins counting down from a timer.
My child doesn't realize that what it's being told by their fun friend is dangerous and not really a game.
The vessel is not the culprit. It's not a mechanical fault that's endangering my child- it's the logic. Who is responsible for that?
There is a distinct difference from being asked to engage in an activity and being provided information. We learn this as children in grammar class. It is also not our role to make determinations on behalf of the authorities that govern the safety of products, only to report.
Alexa told this child to play a game that would have resulted in their harm and began to count down from a timer. It was designed to expect the child to engage and comply, not just passing along information. It's different.
