Hello All, Yes. Which of the digital assistants (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana) source/cite Wikipedia? Are there any ongoing studies on the bias of digital assistants towards a specific source? Citing specifically means, when a user enables any of the above-mentioned digital assistants by asking, "What is or Who is" questions, when is Wikipedia a source?
