Hmmmm - I think that is missing the point about what the current 'AI' technologies that exist actually do (as far as I can see anyway - I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong!)...
They are merely mappings from one form input to another form of input - they themselves don't do any action - the actions still have to be implemented somehow. Alexa for example by itself does diddly-squat beyond map voice to a lower level actionable command (with an element of context, certainly which makes it slightly interesting) - it's the skills that people 'like us' implement which actually do the thing Alexa interprets that we want to be done. Same with google assistant, siri, wolfram alpha, even google search - I can type 'what is 100 usd in gbp' and it gives me the answer. However the reason google search can do that is because some programmer at google has added a hook which knows that when that pattern is searched for it should call a program that has been explicitly written which looks up the current exchange rate and then renders the result in a nicely formatted string which appears at the top of the search results.
