The people building information management solutions have little interest in conversational applications. The inertia of ongoing projects (and of the new AI snake oil salespeople who promise the world) will siphon all available resources away from approaches requiring a strong knowledge architecture foundation. Because we have few examples of big successes in this area, executives can break out in a sweat when asked to back something lacking short-term ROI. At the same time, executives are justifiably concerned about being left behind. To move ahead, executives need to know the limitations and when they are engaging in pure research versus experimenting with innovative approaches and business models.

Although we're still far away from a sci-fi world where we interact with human-like computers, the artificial intelligence industry has made massive strides in recent years. "AI is literally all around us all the time," said Pritzker Group Venture Capital associate David Vandegrift. "When you use Google search, the rankings use AI. Your Facebook feed is ordered by AI. When you get Amazon or Netflix recommendations, that's AI. When you see translations in your Twitter and Facebook feeds, that's AI."

Bad news for ugly, unsuccessful people: Tinder is no longer keeping up the pretence that they might one day enjoy a quirky romcom relationship with someone from a different league. Already, a velvet curtain is being drawn around the world's facial one-percenters with the launch of Tinder Select. The Select sub-platform is the world's biggest dating app's entry into the increasingly popular market for elitism. No one is yet sure what the criteria are for entry to Tinder Select. Some suggest it might be based on your Tinder Elo score, a sort of romantic Uber rating. Those whom Tinder invites to join are apparently allowed to invite someone else.

Circle with Disney is evolving from digital nanny to digital assistant. Today's app update brings a new Connections feature to your favorite (and your kid's least favorite) online time warden and content minder. Circle has partnered with several top developers to expand the reach of the device beyond its home network parental control roots. You'll see six Connections when you download today's app update. Assistant: Powered by Amazon's Alexa, you'll soon be able to use any Alexa-powered device to ask about your kid's screen-time usage, as well as check time limits and bedtimes (and, no, your kids won't be able to ask Alexa to give them more time).

If you don't have a Pixel, there's now one less reason to look at it with envy. The Google Assistant is coming to the smartphone that's in your hand. Google has released it from the safe confines of the Pixel and is rolling it out to any device that runs Marshmallow (6.0) or Nougat (7.0). Yes, you could always get the Google Assistant in Allo, but it was very limited in what was possible, and nobody wants to run a specific chat app for it. Now it's always ready to answer questions, find you photos, and connect more deeply to your Google data. If it's come to your phone, prepare for a major enhancement in how you use Android.

Invitations to join an exclusive club have been sent out to a chosen few of the most attractive and successful Tinder users. Tinder Select is a secret members-only version of the app designed for the most famous, and most beautiful, people using the dating service. Tinder appears to choose the individual users it wants join the elite group, which has been operating under the radar for at least the past six months. Tinder CEO Sean Rad revealed in early 2016 that the dating app has a hidden ranking system, which is used to generate better matches. The system provides insight on the general desirability of certain types of profiles.

Circle with Disney, a device that gives you control over your kids' internet activities by connecting to your WiFi network, now has a "smart family" platform. It's called Circle Connection, and it gives you a way to connect the device's accompanying application with various apps you can use to reward your kids. Some of those apps, for instance, give your kids more time to use their gadgets, depending on the chores they finish or the activity their Misfit logged for the day. It also connects the device with Amazon's Alexa, so you can ask the voice assistant about your kids' screen time usage. At the same time, your kids can ask Alexa how much time they have left to use their gadgets.

Technology is changing the way we live. Innovative products like smartwatches, virtual assistants like Siri and Cortana, and self-driving cars are raising the bar on expectations. So why shouldn't that change be reflected in the way we work? Business Insider spoke to Dave Wright, the chief strategy officer at cloud computing business ServiceNow about what they're doing to improve processes and productivity and the workplace, as well as trends we're likely to see in the future. But first if you're not sure what ServiceNow does, here's how Wright explains it.

People who turn to WebMD in their quest for health information can now do so without lifting a finger – they can use their voice, through a new integration with Amazon Alexa. As of today, people who use the voice-assistant service can launch the WebMD skill on any Alexa-enabled device (such as the Echo, Echo Dot and Amazon Fire TV) and ask a question about a range of health-related topics including conditions, medication, tests and treatments. Alexa will respond with WebMD-sourced answers in easy-to-understand language. "Every month, nearly one-third of the total online U.S. population turns to WebMD's websites and apps in search of answers to their health-related questions, but now they have another option – and it's as simple as asking Alexa," WebMD Vice President Ben Greenberg, whose product team developed the new voice capabilities, said in a statement. "There are a number of reasons that voice-enabled interfaces are growing in popularity – they are generally hands-free, people can talk faster than they type, and when done right, they make it easier for consumers to quickly and easily get to the information they need."
