[Sponsor] will AI control Your house This Year?
2015: Stephen Hawking and Elon Mask actively caution of the dangers of synthetic intelligence.
2016: Amazon sells nearly 10 million Echo devices that give access to intelligent voice assistant Alexa.
2017: Apple releases Homepod to have Siri with no device in your hand.
At least 30 million devices developed for voice communication with AI services. Humans rarely seem to head the warnings of smart people though.
About the same number of iphone 4’s were sold in 2010 and it immediately turned out they are everywhere. It could be the same with a new type of devices. So, good or bad, we need to work with this AI future.
What are these devices primarily used for? Of course, you can ask to schedule an appointment or get the weather forecast. but many essential there is a smarthome, which is opened up to the owner in a new way having an opportunity to quietly ask “dim down the lights and turn on the music”, instead of opening the app and clicking buttons. Gartner confirms: voice assistants are expected to become main interface for connected home next years.
And yes there are 2 main variants of synthetic intelligence (some see 4 or more, but come on): “simple” and “complex”. The easy one plays chess and in fact is just a powerful computer that rapidly performs certain algorithms. The complex version educates itself and seems to give much more outstanding results. The only issue here is that we do not know what’s going on inside it’s “black box” with lots of big data in it. It’s clear that current personal assistants already use a “complex” deep learning scheme otherwise they lose competitive advantage.
Well fears are fears but many importantly this is a trend it’s better not to miss, and learn to work with it in advance. iRidium mobile run a totally free webinar on how to work with mostly incompatible smarthome systems when you need to add Siri, Amazon Alexa or Google Home. join it on October, 17th at 11 GMT+00 if interested and keep thinking if it’s a good idea to let these kids run our world one day.
The webinar topic is “Voice control for smart home. What to choose and how to integrate?”
On the webinar we’ll tell you how to add voice control to new and working smart home installations based on professional automation systems (AMX, Crestron, KNX, Modbus, HDL, etc.). learn much more and register here:
