What is the Internet of Things? (And Why You Should Care -- A Lot)

@machinelearnbot

Now, bear in mind that this technology is equipped only to work with Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant. In my humble opinion, Project Ambiance is one small step at the start of a long, productive road toward smart technology's full capabilities. Other manufacturers are working on similar initiatives (such as Baidu DuerOS and Amazon Alexa, which have created tools for developers to build these AI assistants into applications and products) -- eventually, and hopefully, we'll reach a point where technology is developed that can work with any number of voice assistants.

People used to dream about robot secretaries. Futurists imagined a world where computers obeyed our every command. When the Amazon Echo hit the market, that dream became a reality: Alexa was obedient, personable and all-knowing. She could carry out a myriad of basic tasks, with a personality as professional and unflappable as a human assistant. This year, Echo is more popular than ever, and despite competition from Google, Amazon still dominates 75 percent of the virtual assistant market.

Why AI Is the 'New Electricity' - Knowledge@Wharton

#artificialintelligence

Just as electricity transformed the way industries functioned in the past century, artificial intelligence -- the science of programming cognitive abilities into machines -- has the power to substantially change society in the next 100 years. AI is being harnessed to enable such things as home robots, robo-taxis and mental health chatbots to make you feel better. A startup is developing robots with AI that brings them closer to human level intelligence. Already, AI has been embedding itself in daily life -- such as powering the brains of digital assistants Siri and Alexa. It lets consumers shop and search online more accurately and efficiently, among other tasks that people take for granted.


Biggest Cybersecurity Risks For 2018 Include Blockchain, Machine Learning

@machinelearnbot

The end of the year is approaching fast, and now is the perfect time to review your cybersecurity practices, especially if you've bought any new gadgets or if you run your own business. To help you get ahead of the curve, a reputable cybersecurity firm has put together a list of the biggest cybersecurity risks for 2018. The Internet of Things is really starting to take off as a growing number of people buy smart speakers like the Google Home or Amazon Echo and start connecting smart appliances and fixtures to them. Unfortunately though, those very smart devices could end up being the weak point in your cybersecurity, according to Trend Micro researchers. They note that we've already had two examples of how IoT devices could be hacked and then used for nefarious purposes.

AI can guide us -- or just entertain

#artificialintelligence

"Have you heard the rumor about butter? Go ahead and roll your eyes. This groaner is just one of the many, many terrible jokes that Amazon's "personal assistant" software, Alexa, will tell you -- if you ask. But Alexa can do a lot more than make bad puns. Many people start their mornings by asking Alexa for the weather forecast or the latest news. A device that houses the software can also play music from your favorite playlists, keep a shopping list, order takeout food, answer trivia questions, send voice messages and even run "smart" home controls like thermostats. Alexa is a form of artificial intelligence, or AI for short.
