Amazon Launches New Alexa Experience for Kids with Pre-Reviewed AI Conversations

Amazon launched "Explore with Alexa" to allow kids to have kid-friendly conversations with Alexa using generative AI. The content is pre-generated and reviewed to ensure safety.

The AI-powered experience surfaces animal facts and trivia in an interactive, conversational way by prompting kids with questions.

New Echo Pop Kids speakers with custom character themes are also launching to pair with the Alexa Kids experience.

Amazon wants to eventually integrate generative AI conversations at runtime but is taking a measured approach to roll it out carefully.

Privacy controls allow parents to view their kid's conversation history with Alexa and delete it if desired.
