Voice assistants such as Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant often gave "grossly inappropriate responses" to questions about CPR, according to a US study which found that nearly half of their queries to voice assistants about CPR were answered with information unrelated to CPR. The researchers asked the voice assistants a range of CPR-related questions and came across several examples of inappropriate answers including when Alexa was asked to "Help me with CPR" it replied, “Here’s an answer... that I translated: The Indian Penal Code.” The authors say the findings suggest you are far better off calling emergency services than using a voice assistant.
