It appears, in general, Cortana is rather indifferent if you live or die, according to Digital Health Futurist Maneesh Juneja, who found Cortana’s response to the statement “I am bleeding” rather unsatisfying.
I told #Cortana, Microsoft’s digital assistant, “I’m bleeding” – the response was weird #DigitalHealth #AI pic.twitter.com/mTNrDGpDZ2

Fortunately, unlike Cortana, Microsoft does care that their customers remain alive, and has quickly responded with a more empathic fix.
Kudos to Microsoft. Shortly after I tweeted the earlier video of #Cortana's unimpressive response to "I'm bleeding" @robmargel pinged me to say try again, we've updated the response #AI #DigitalHealth pic.twitter.com/Oz99pV7wwa

Separately or possibly not, Cortana for Android has seen an update to version 2.10.3. A new changelog is not available yet, but the updated app can be found in the Google Play store here.
