Kids are getting voice-activated with a new Echo Dot made just for them. With the new device, kids can ask Alexa their parent-approved questions and requests, and she’ll respond to them in kid-friendly speak. Prime members can add on a monthly package of “premium skills,” access to over 300 audiobooks, and more. One Amazon exec assures that the device is “not meant to replace humans,” but red flags about too much tech in kids’ lives and the ways it could affect their privacy have been raised nonetheless.
