Google promised it would release both Allo and Duo, it's new chat and video calling apps, this summer. Duo landed more than a month ago, but Allo is just barely squeaking under the wire before it's technically Autumn. The Allo site is now live, and it gives you a rundown of the most important features of Google's new messaging app. The app itself is still rolling out worldwide, and may or may not yet be available for you by the time you read this. As with Duo, Allo is available for both Android and iOS.

A cresting wave of new technologies -- including everything from virtual and augmented reality, AI-powered chat bots, IoT and voice recognition platforms -- is about to change both the theory and practice of CX, again. Many CX professionals are still perfecting their game on the web and mobile, but these new tools threaten to render much of that effort stale or redundant in short order. We kick off our program with a tour d'horizon of this new world. To take full advantage of these emerging technologies, you must understand what makes your customers tick, mixing quantitative with qualitative methods. Knowing the who, what, when and where is essential; but without learning why your customers do what they do, and how to apply that to your work, any future-state CX projects will disappoint.

In June 2016 Ravi Mody and Tim Schmeier gave a presentation at the NYC Machine Learning meetup to discuss their work on the data science team at iHeartRadio. This is the second in a three part article complementing the presentation. We recommend you read part 1 before continuing. As discussed in part 1, some of the most exciting developments in online music have been around deep personalization using machine learning. We went into detail on how we at iHeartRadio are using a machine learning method called matrix factorization (MF) to map our user behavior into powerful representations called vector space models.

If you're going to unveil a new messaging app, it had better do something unique. At this point, finding a place amongst entrenched options like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and iMessage is not an easy task. Google didn't quite pull it off with Hangouts when it launched in 2013. Sure, it's installed on basically every Android phone out there and anyone with a Gmail account has probably tried it, but Google's messaging strategy never quite came together in a compelling or clear way. So Google is rebooting yet again with Allo, a mobile-only messaging app that leverages the company's biggest strengths in an effort to stand out from the pack.

CORALVILLE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognonto, a new start-up in knowledge-based artificial intelligence (KBAI), announced today the dual release of its Cognonto Platform and KBpedia, a computable knowledge structure to automate much of the effort needed for machine learning. KBpedia leverages six large-scale knowledge bases -- Wikipedia, Wikidata, GeoNames, OpenCyc, DBpedia and UMBEL -- into a single structure expressly designed to support artificial intelligence (AI) within enterprises. "Many of the AI advances in recent years, such as question answering on smart phones or systems that beat human contestants in Jeopardy, are built around Web knowledge bases like Wikipedia," said Michael Bergman, a co-founder of Cognonto. "But these are one-off systems that only the largest tech firms or research outfits can afford," he said. "The idea behind Cognonto is to democratize this process such that any enterprise can afford to train their own machine learners or gain the advantages of knowledge-based artificial intelligence."

A UAE-based bank is introducing an artificial intelligence robot that will engage with customers by telling them about the products and services. The UAE-based bank Emirates NBD plans to do so in a bid to make banking more convenient. The artificial intelligence (AI) robot called Pepper will make his appearance at the bank's marketing and promotional events in the UAE as well as at select Emirates NBD branches in the near future. Pepper will interact with customers to understand visitation needs and present products and services alternatives in an engaging manner, assisted by the bank's staff. While Pepper will not engage on core banking functions, as the world of artificial intelligence and robots evolves, the bank has announced that it will continue to engage with these technologies to make banking simpler and more convenient.

Jigsaw, a subsidiary of Google, is set to launch multiple technological projects that will protect people from hate speech and online harassment. Jared Cohen, president and founder, is launching a set to fight internet trolling thru artificial intelligence known as'Conversation Al.' "I want to use the best technology we have at our disposal to begin to take on trolling and other nefarious tactics that give hostile voices disproportionate weight... [we will] do everything we can to level the playing field," confirmed Cohen. Jigsaw believes that while online speech must be moderated, online bullies should not be allowed to intimidate people and self-censor their personal opinions and views. The filter will have a 92% success rate in detecting "abusive" messages producing a false positive of only 10% of the time. The issue with the tool is the possibility of filtering well-intentioned views that may appear or resemble as harassment.
