Amazon's Echo Flex plug-in smart speaker should now be much more useful in the kitchen. The Verge reports that Amazon has unveiled an official, Third Reality-made Smart Clock add-on for the Flex that brings connected timekeeping to the Alexa device.

Ask Alexa to set a timer and you'll see it count down, so you won't have to ask for an update (or use an Echo with a built-in display) just to see how soon your cooking will be ready. You can also use Alexa to switch between 12- and 24-hour formats, or manually adjust the brightness when the automatic settings aren't enough.

Anything'for the first time' will certainly have plenty of predictions made and discussions on how it would be taken over in the future. Earlier when the computers got invented or when the idea of'Machine Learning' was born it was all the same through predictions and foresight. However, reality overtook all the fear and concern as the technology got even smarter than anticipated. Machine Learning in daily life is getting successfully applied in all aspects right from speech recognition apps in smartphones to YouTube recommendations and more.

Although for many organizations artificial intelligence may be a work in progress, its rapid spread across the enterprise has led Gartner to predict that by 2024, 75% of organizations will shift from piloting to operationalizing artificial intelligence (AI). This in turn will drive an increase in streaming data and analytics infrastructures by up to 500%. It is likely that the current health crisis has sped up the rate of deployment. During the pandemic and with millions working from home, AI techniques such as machine learning (ML), optimization and natural language processing (NLP) have been able to provide insights and predictions about the spread of the virus and the effectiveness and impact of countermeasures. It has also enabled many organizations to continue doing business where they might otherwise have had to slow down or even shut down.
