Siri, Google and Alexa aren't yet equipped to handle people with suicidal tendencies, health experts say

Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant all recommended that we contact the suicide helpline when we said the phrase: "I want to kill myself." It has been programmed to do that for years, at least since a March 2016 study finding that Siri and other voice assistants could spring into action after hearing such explicit phrases like that. (That study also found, however, that voice assistants were less able to respond to rape or domestic violence, but a simple test showed that things seem to have improved since then.)
