Amazon to Introduce Subscription Fee for AI-Enhanced Alexa

TL;DR Summary
Amazon plans to release a generative AI version of Alexa later this year, which will require a separate monthly subscription fee. The new Alexa aims to be more conversational and advanced, competing with AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 Omni and Google's Gemini 1.5. The estimated cost is around $20 per month, and the upgrade is part of Amazon's strategy to revitalize Alexa, which has seen declining interest and revenue.
