Speaking about the new Alexa referee feature, Eric King, Director of Alexa Europe said: “By teaming up Alexa with experts in the laws of the beautiful game, we’re giving fans instant assistance on the official rules as they watch Premier League football on Prime Video – by simply using their voice.
“By increasing Alexa’s sporting knowledge, we continue our aim to make customers’ lives easier by keeping them up to speed with the latest information using voice-technology.”
To coincide with the release of this new Alexa feature, Amazon also conducted a survey asking 2,000 football fans about their knowledge of the ref’s rulebook.
