I’ve been using the Amazon Echo device for almost a year. And most of what I do is ask Alexa — the virtual assistant in Echo — what the weather is, who won the Rams game, add batteries to my shopping list, or even to play the new song from Prince.
I also use Siri to dial people on my iPhone when I’m in the car. And, with Windows 10, I’m beginning to ask Cortana — Microsoft’s virtual assistant — for stuff as well.
More and more, we’re all using intelligent agents/services to handle routine things that take up time.
Dennis Mortensen, co-founder of X.ai — the service behind virtual scheduling assistant Amy — shares why he feels we’re at the tipping point with artificial intelligence. He also shares his vision of a world where services like Siri, Alexa, Cortana and Amy will work together on our behalf to free us up from mundane tasks and allow us to focus on more important things.
