Pas Akum
Question
If a goy made dough can Alexa turn on the oven if the goy asked Alexa. No jews around
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
In order for the bread to be "Pas Yisrael" a Jew must turn on the oven. It does not help for a non-Jew to ask a machine to turn on the oven.
In the case you describe, the bread would have the status of "Pas Akum" and forbidden.
