Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant sparked controversy last month when it provided reasons to vote for Vice President Harris, which occurred because an override hadn't been put in place.

Exclusive: Amazon's Alexa sparked controversy in early September when a viral video showed the virtual assistant explaining reasons to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris while refusing to offer similar responses for former President Trump. FOX Business has learned that Alexa generated the pro-Harris response before the company put an override in place.

Amazon became aware of the issue with Alexa's pro-Harris responses within one hour of the video being posted on X and going viral. The company fixed the issue with a manual override for such questions about Harris within two hours of the video going up, according to the source.
