NEW: Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price...

Amazon is planning to unveil a souped-up version of its decade-old voice assistant this year and will charge a monthly fee, sources say.

The offering will not be included in Amazon Prime subscriptions, according to a source.

It comes as OpenAI unveiled a chatbot that can have two-way conversations, while Alexa is still widely used for kitchen timers and announcing the weather.
