The Tesla co-founder is among high profile figures who have called for vigilance to ensure artificial intelligence doesn't turn against humans.

Launched in 2014 by Amazon, the Alexa digital assistant has spread from the company's echo voice-commanded speakers to millions of devices, including cars.
