Though the updated version of Alexa was originally expected to land in late February, it is now pegged for March 31 or later.

Amazon will soon show off a much-delayed new version of its Alexa virtual assistant, but the upgrade still won’t be ready for public release.

Amazon won’t launch the AI-powered upgrade for Alexa for at least a month after its showcase at an event set for February 26th, according to The Washington Post. The delay is reportedly at least partly because the updated assistant has issues with giving inaccurate answers to test questions.

While many expect Amazon to unveil its latest advancements in AI-driven voice assistance, a recent report suggests that Amazon may delay the actual rollout of the new Alexa software until March 31. According to a source within Amazon cited by the Washington Post (via Android Authority ), the delay stems from performance issues during testing.

Concerns over accuracy lead to another delay for the souped-up virtual assistant — but the launch showcase will still go ahead.

Alexa’s big AI revamp may have just been delayed, again – and it sounds like Amazon’s assistant is getting dumber rather than smarter.
