The Show 5 (second-gen) is one of several new touchscreen displays from Amazon this year, including the all-new Echo Show 5 (second-gen) Kids edition and the recently-revamped Echo Show 8 (second-gen). This is the first time that Amazon has refreshed the Echo Show 5 since 2019, but the upgrades are minimal between the first and second-gen models. However, if you're on the hunt for a compact Alexa display and don't already have one, the new Echo Show 5 is worth a look. The second-gen Show 5 comes with a white power adapter (15W) that spans about five feet in length. Plug the cord into the display, connect it to the internet, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.

Artificial intelligence (A.I.), one of the 20 core technologies I identified back in 1983 as the drivers of exponential economic value creation, has started out simple. From Amazon's Alexa, Siri on your iPhone, or proclaiming "hey, Google…" in your home, there are several small but impactful applications of A.I. that have become fully integrated in our world today. Now, following a historic moment in contemporary history dominated by a global pandemic, A.I. advancements have been turbocharged like never before. Consumer products that implement A.I. that have been in the spotlight for a handful of years are now having to share that fame with Information Technology (IT) solutions and its place in industry. If you haven't already, from this point forward, it would be a good idea to keep a closer eye on A.I.'s rapid development and look for both predictable problems as well as amazing opportunities.

The fast food giant has been testing out a Siri-like voice-recognition system at ten drive-thru locations in Chicago, CEO Chris Kempczinski revealed during a Wednesday investor conference attended by Nation's Restaurant News. The system can handle about 80 percent of the orders that come its way and fills them with about 85 percent accuracy -- probably annoying for the customers who just want to drive off with their burger -- but Kempczinski says a national rollout could happen in as soon as five years. It raises some interesting questions about the role that AI technology will play in various industries and, more importantly, the seemingly endless debate over whether raising the minimum wage to a livable salary will motivate CEOs to replace humans with machines -- or whether they'd do so to cut costs anyway. Part of the challenge in automating the drive-thru, Kempczinski said, is that human workers have been too eager to help out while supervising the technology that might one day replace them, preventing it from accruing the real-world data crucial for further improving the system. But as restaurant automation grows increasingly common, answering the question of how much responsibility a company has to continue employing people it could technically replace with machines will only grow more important and dire.

Next time you hit up a McDonald's drive-thru, you might find yourself leaning out your window to bark your order to a robot rather than a pimply teenager.

This first blog post will focus on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolved throughout the years, I will mention and describe some of the milestones of this evolution and analyse how it became part of our lives and how it will become even more important in the future. Digital technology has been one of the fastest-growing tech in the history of mankind, today our phones have hundreds of GB of storage and process data faster than a computer would a few decades ago, the only other branches of technology that have developed this quickly are weapons. It is not rare to hear how computers were'as big as a room' but one of the most interesting examples of the leap of digital technology, specifically information technology, dates back to 1969 when a computer with only 14kb of ram steered and landed the Saturn V and its human hosts on the moon. To put that into perspective, the blog that I am now writing will occupy more than 14kb of space in my storage, nowadays, we are used of talking about Megabytes or Gigabytes, or even Terabytes. Using kilobytes for everyday use would be like weighing a person in grams.

If you're in love with Alexa, Amazon's first-generation Echo Buds were a great pair of headphones. Sure, they didn't have the same sound quality or noise-canceling abilities as premium options from Apple and Samsung, but they were cheap, decent, and worked better with Amazon's voice assistant than any other pair. Wireless charging and noise-canceling join a brand-new pair of 5.7-mm drivers and beamforming microphones to create what's probably the best overall experience in wireless earbuds below $150. Add to that some of the best app integration available today, and the new Echo Buds are some of my favorite jack-of-all-trades headphones. The new Echo Buds don't really resemble their predecessors, apart from being made from the same matte plastic.

You may also have heard machine learning and AI used interchangeably. AI includes machine learning, but machine learning doesn't fully define AI. Machine learning and AI both have strong engineering components. You find AI and machine learning used in a great many applications today. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a huge topic today, and it's getting bigger all the time thanks to the success of technologies such as Siri.

I have ADHD and am what many would consider "underemployed" so obviously spend most of my time on the internet arguing with people on Twitter and watching TikToks. I live and breathe the internet and unfortunately/sadly haven't been able to stop posting since I first created an account on LiveJournal in the year 2002. Me and the internet have had some crazy times together. Like when my OkCupid page ended up on 200 websites of "insane internet dating profiles", or when my website kept getting hacked and diverted to Russian porn for a year. A few years ago I made an online show called Overshare with my friend Jared Jekyll (edited by my fiance – thanks babe!) purely for discussing random weird stuff we find on the internet.

Despite their popularity with kids, tablets and other connected devices are built on top of systems that weren't designed for them to easily understand or navigate. But adapting algorithms to interact with a child isn't without its complications--as no one child is exactly like another. Most recognition algorithms look for patterns and consistency to successfully identify objects. But kids are notoriously inconsistent. In this episode, we examine the relationship AI has with kids. This episode was reported and produced by Jennifer Strong, Anthony Green and Tanya Basu with Emma Cillekens. Jennifer: It wasn't long ago that playing hopscotch, board games or hosting tea parties with dolls was the norm for kids.... But... we've seen hopscotch turn to TicToc... board games become video games... and dolls at tea parties... do more than just talk back This is my digital makeover.. I insert my own Ipad and open my app .. and the mirror lights up..
