Anand Mahindra offers job to girl who foiled monkey attack using Alexa

In a smart move, a 13-year-old girl protected herself and her younger sister from a possible monkey attack by using Amazon’s virtual assistant technology, Alexa.

When all of a sudden, a monkey entered her sister’s house, the girl asked Alexa to bark like a dog. This smart thinking saved the girls as the monkey was scared away from hearing the dog’s barking sounds.

This tactic of the teenager also caught the attention of Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra. He took on X and reacted to the incident. He wrote, “The dominant question of our era is whether we will become slaves or masters of technology."
