Artificial Intelligence isn't entirely negative; it also brings about positive outcomes. A recent example illustrates this well: a young girl successfully utilised AI to prevent a monkey attack.
During a visit to her sister's home in Uttar Pradesh's Basti, Nikita found herself amidst chaos when monkeys invaded the double-story house.?
As reported by the Times of India, Nikita was playing with her 15-month-old niece in one of the bedrooms when the family realised that monkeys had entered their home.?
The monkeys gained entry because resident Pankaj Ojha inadvertently left the main door open while leaving in a hurry to drop off a guest.
The monkeys initially caused havoc in the drawing room on the ground floor before going up to the first floor in search of food.?
Startled by the sight of the monkeys ransacking the kitchen, Nikita's niece cried out for her mother in a state of panic.?
Reacting swiftly, Nikita and her sister hurried to the scene to find the monkeys causing further chaos in the kitchen.
Nikita showed remarkable quick thinking. She instructed Alexa to make a dog's barking sound.?
Upon hearing the noise, the monkeys departed one by one.
Alexa is a voice service provided by Amazon, accessible on over 100 million devices from Amazon and other companies. Using Alexa, one can create natural voice interactions that provide users with a simpler way to engage with their everyday technology.
"A few guests visited our home and they left the gate open. Monkeys entered the kitchen and started throwing things here and there. The kid was scared and so did I but then I saw Alexa and asked it to play the sound of a dog. Because of that barking sound, the monkeys were scared and ran away," the 13-year-old told news agency ANI.
