Amazon's Alexa smart speakers certainly helped normalize the idea of a digital assistant inside the house, but the Google Home is helping spur the expansion of a connected ecosystem. As a result, if all you're looking for is an unobtrusive device in your home to answer questions and act as an entertainment controller, either one of these smart speakers will serve you well. If you're looking for a more contextualized experience, however, or you're merely so tied to the Google ecosystem that you'd rather not play outside of the sandbox, there are reasons to choose a Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker over an Alexa one. Like the fact that there are some commands and services that are compatible with the Google Home and not with the Amazon Echo. I hate the washing the dishes.

AirPods have been a huge success. Future models of Apple's wireless earbuds will reportedly feature better support for digital voice assistant Siri and water resistance. According to Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources, Apple is expected to roll out a version of AirPods as early as this year with hands-free Siri support. Instead of tapping the headphones to activate Siri, users could simply say "Hey Siri" as they would when calling the assistant on an iPhone hands free. Another model expected to launch next year would offer water resistance, allowing AirPods to withstand splashes of water, such as when it's raining.

Hackers could break into your Tinder account using just your phone number, experts say. The security flaw in the popular dating app could let attackers access your entire chat history without the need for a password. It takes advantage of a flaw in both the dating app's login process as well as a piece of Facebook-developed software that it's based on. The finding comes hot on the heels of a pair of major security flaws discovered in January that threatened to reveal your every swipe and match to strangers. Hackers could break into your Tinder account using just your phone number, experts say.

In recent years the customer experience landscape has seen the emergence of chatbots, virtual digital assistants, and AI. By automating repetitive tasks these tools have saved costs, allowing humans to focus on more complex issues. The long term impact of AI and machine learning applications, however, is potentially tremendous and far reaching. Machine learning refers to the ability of information systems or computer programs to learn and improve from experience, without being programmed. Essentially, the machine interprets existing data using algorithms allowing the computer program or information system to find hidden insights without being explicitly programed where to look.

"A year spent in Artificial Intelligence is enough to make one believe in God" • As per the recent news, humanoid robot Sophia was made citizen of Saudi Arabia! Was that something ever expected? As the mobile app development have evolved, Artificial Intelligence has opened a whole new door and redefined the concept of human machine interaction. Today, with the huge competition in the market, many of the iPhone mobile application development and Android mobile app development companies fail to meet customer's expectation regarding loading time, speed, bugs and not able to provide satisfactory user experience. People are more inclined towards mobile devices to get their things done within minutes; hence it clearly indicates that, businesses need to invest in Artificial Intelligence mobile app to hit the bull's eye.

Could an automated assistant report to a chief financial officer? A robot vice-president, after all, might be ideal for repetitive tasks like looking up data from statements and preparing charts. Some support functions like billing and collections are mundane and mistake-prone enough that it seems better not to inflict them on a human. A financial automation company called Emagia has developed an Alexa-like digital assistant specifically for those tasks: It can provide answers and predictions related to billing, payments, and cash flow. The company says Gia, which communicates by voice and chat, is compatible with enterprise software like SAP, which is used for things like accounting.
