It now does have a way of learning to distinguish users by voice, so such a feature, if not foolproof ought to be feasible. Even just a way of indicating which users are children and taking that into account might well be helpful.
So either Alexa, and other digital assistants, should have a way to prevent "unauthorized" use, or we might need to consider if it's a safe device for families with small children. Perhaps simply being able to disable answers based on internet searches.
