Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Is Changing Our Lives Using Smartphones

Love it or hate it, Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is an increasing part of our lives. Some might say that it is more omnipresent, thanks to its ability to watch over our lives and stay on hand to guide us. There are many people that are thankful for these adaptations. A.I. assistants have changed the way that we search for information, learn about the weather, and stay on top of calendars. This is an acceptable level of control for many. The A.I. bot responds to our commands and we have a good idea what it is doing.

But, 2018’s new smartphones and A.I. advancements take this technology to new levels. There is a greater desire for these artificial intelligence programs to work in the background and make decisions without human initiation. Some will provide alerts about things that it feels are of use. Some can make calls on a users behalf … Read the rest

Assistive Technologies Is Siri

Assistive technologies need to develop to meet the needs of consumers continually. Fall behind with features and abilities and a helpful assistant becomes more of a burden than an ally. Luckily, the new Siri update looks like a step in the right direction. Plenty of new ideas can make a difference.

First Of All, You Can Control More Apps With Your Voice

Siri App

The ability to use Siri to open apps is one of the primary expectations these days. This means that it is essential that developers add more apps to the list to keep users happy.

Best Assistive Technologies – Cortana

Assistive technologies are a form of artificial intelligence that we can all get behind. We are happy to have these little voices offering help if it aids productivity and improves our day. At the moment, there are three key figures in this world. We can call up Siri from Apple devices for important information. We set Google Now from Google to work in the background on important tasks.

Could You Become Best Friends With A Robot?

Best Robot – Jai Jai

Robotics is a field that is developing at an alarming rate. This doesn’t seem that long ago that we had the first humanoid robots making headlines. Now there are numerous models and prototypes in development. Larger companies are in competition to create robots that are more realistic and more functional than ever.

They help us to interact with apps and technology, search for information, arrange schedules and much more. It is, therefore, no surprise that Amazon has entered the field with their helpful female voice. Alexa is the latest of these robotic companions and is here to help us in our homes.

Is Alexa Just Another Version Of Siri And Cortana?

In many ways, Amazon’s new voice system is pretty similar. Ask a question in earshot of the device, with the right command, and Alexa will respond and try to help. Three trigger words can bring Alexa into action: Alexa, Echo or Amazon. Echo is the device that our new friend operates … Read the rest

Could Sophia Prove That Human-Like Robots Can Make Emotional Connections

Human-Like Robots

There is a big challenge facing developers in robotics: emotion. There have been great developments in the expressions of robots to make them appear more like humans on the surface. Their facial movements and hand gestures are now more refined than ever.

They are now able to seem as though they are giving the right response, as they were instinctual. It can frown, smile, smirk and do whatever else seems to be appropriate to the situation. They can read the faces of those around them and determine a response. This is what makes them human-like robots, but they are not yet human.

For Now, This Is All Just A Mechanical Reaction To A Stimulus Rather Than Real Emotion

This is where robotics is separate from human expression. It is why human-like robots can only come so close to the real thing. The barrier in-between is the ability to … Read the rest
