Amazon's Alexa has a mind of its own.

Amazon's Alexa interrupted a Qualcomm executive giving a keynote at CES on Monday afternoon in an eerie sign that artificial intelligence really does have a mind of its own.

Reporters at the event tweeted about Alexa's notable interruption, in which the voice assistant reportedly said "No, that's not true," in response to something said by the speaker.

omg at the Qualcomm press conference, the demo rep forgot to mute Alexa, and the speaker continued on with his speech, only to be interrupted by Alexa going

"No. That's not true."

Everyone laughed -- a brief moment of true entertainment here lol
