The way we interact with our electronics is changing rapidly, as evidenced by the increasing number of artificial intelligence assistants that are flooding the market. This special report will examine how AI Assistants have revolutionized the way we use our phones. I will begin by providing a historical overview on the development of AI assistants, which started in the 1960s with early programs such as SHRDLU and ELIZA. Despite their limited capabilities confined to text, current artificial intelligence assistants such as Siri and Alexa are no doubt impressive.
These devices have arrived at a time when greater interaction with our gadgets was becoming necessary. Users have a growing desire to hear feedback from smart speakers on practical matters, such as finding places to dine or providing driving directions. Consumers are now enjoying an influx of smart home devices, including the Amazon Echo Show – the company’s latest smart ‘hub’ that emphasizes visual communication – as well as a new smart lighting system, the Philips Hue. Another highly anticipated voice-enabled smart home device from Google is scheduled for release shortly.
Can you remember when the idea of talking to your devices sounded straight out of science-fiction? That future has arrived, and quickly. We are now living alongside amazed and more than slightly bemused AI assistants in the form of Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. What are they? And why are they changing the way we use technology?
Evolution of AI Assistants:
If you think that AI assistants of the past primarily responded to simple voice commands like playing music, think again. Today’s assistants can handle much more complex interactions, from scheduling appointments to controlling smart home gadgets, beyond simply providing answers to questions.
