　　Amazon’s Alexa will soon be teaching your child manners

　　Amazon.com's Alexa(亚马逊的语音音箱/助手) has a little something(有点小东西) to teach your kids about manners(礼貌). After receiving feedback from some parents concerned about how voice assistants(语音助手) are affecting their kids' attitudes, the company updated Alexa to reward children who ask for things nicely.

　　Kids are some of the biggest fans of voice assistants, with some learning to talk to Alexa, Apple's Siri or Google's Assistant before they can form full sentences. But some parents have worried that having voice assistants around the house will make their children more rude, since the youngsters can bark(吼叫) demands for a favorite television station or song at any time.

　　Amazon heard from parents in comments on its products that they wanted a way to teach etiquette(礼仪) while using the voice assistant, the company said in statement. The company then spoke to child development experts about the best way for Alexa to do that.

　　The answer they came up with was positive reinforcement(加强/矫正). You won't hear Alexa ask, for example, “What's the magic word?” if a child doesn't say “please.” Instead, it will thank a child for asking nicely if he or she remembers to slip in that oh-so-important “magic” word.

　　The update comes as the company is expanding its efforts to woo(吸引) children as part of its smart-home(智能家居) push. Amazon also announced on Wednesday that it has made an $80 child-focused version of its Echo Dot speaker, which has durable(耐用的), candy-colored cases(保护壳/套), and that it is adding parental controls to the Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Plus to help limit when a child can interact with(与......交流) the technology. Additionally(此外), Amazon added to its FreeTime Unlimited service, with kid-focused Alexa content, including kid-friendly skills developed by companies such as Disney and Nickelodeon. Existing subscribers(订阅用户) get that additional content for free. A new subscription(订阅) starts at $2.99 per month for Prime members.

　　Children have become a key demographic(用户构成) for Amazon, Google, Apple and Microsoft as the companies move deeper into the home with smart speakers and strive to(努力) make their particular voice assistant a central part of the household(家庭).

　　The strategy(策略) has raised concerns(引发担忧) among some privacy advocates(注重隐私的用户), such as the Center for Digital Democracy, about new avenues(渠道) for data collection(数据收集). They hope companies will continue to respect a child's right to privacy(隐私权). Children are one of the only groups of people in the United States protected by privacy law and Amazon said it is compliant(遵从的). Companies have dealt with those limitations(限制) by setting different rules to the many voice assistant programs designed for children, requiring parents to sign off(注销) on their children using certain apps. But it hasn't slowed down development of those programs.
