BMW Machine Learning Weekly -- Week 9 – Towards Data Science

News about Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related research areas. Controlling your gadgets by talking to them is so 2018. In the future, you will not even have to move your lips. A prototype device called AlterEgo, created by Arnav Kapur, a 23-year old MIT Media Lab graduate student, is already making this possible. With Kapur's device -- a 3-D-printed plastic doodad that looks kind of like a skinny white banana attached to the side of his head -- he can flip through TV channels, change the colors of lightbulbs, make expert chess moves, solve complicated arithmetic problems, and order a pizza, all without saying a word or lifting a finger.
