"Amazon's Alexa has been developed over the years to offer ever-improving access to information and knowledge.
However, the voice-enabled assistant recently gave some dangerousadvice to one user that went viral on social media.
According to a tweet posted byKristin Livdahl, Alexa told her 10-year-old child to touch a penny to an exposed plug socket.

"My 10 year old just asked Alexa on our Echo for a challenge and this is what she said," Livdahl tweeted on Sunday.
Livdahl shared an image of Alexa's response after her child asked the device for a challenge.

"Here's something I found on the web. According to ourcommunitynow.com: The challenge is simple: plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs," Alexa's response read.

"As soon as we became aware of this error, we quickly fixed it, and will continue to advance our systems to help prevent similar responses in the future," the statement said."

Lawyer: Alexa, did you tell this child these instructions?
Alexa: I...I can't find any information on this in my databanks.
