This year, the most frequently asked question to the artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistant 'Alexa' was, ironically, "What does AI mean?"

According to CNN on December 11 (local time), Amazon recently compiled and announced the most common questions users around the world have asked its AI voice assistant, Alexa. The results showed that users in the United Kingdom most frequently asked Alexa what AI is. There were also many general knowledge questions, such as "How long should I boil an egg?" and "What is the diameter of the Earth?"

Users in the United Kingdom also showed great interest in celebrities. In particular, they asked about the wealth, height, and spouses of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, pop star Taylor Swift, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. When it came to net worth, most people were curious about Musk's net worth, but there were also many questions about the net worth of Swift and YouTuber Mr Beast (real name Jimmy Donaldson). As for height, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise was the most frequently asked about.

The most requested song for Alexa to play among UK users was "APT." by Blackpink's Ros? and Bruno Mars. Additionally, three songs from the original soundtrack (OST) of Netflix's "K-Pop Demon Hunters" ranked among the top 10 most played tracks through Alexa.
