Jim Beam's Smart Decanter Speaks With Kentucky Accent, Pours Shots On Command

The bourbon whiskey brand Jim Beam released a smart decanter that speaks in a Kentucky accent for six months. The product sold out within two hours of its debut, USA Today reported Friday. The bourbon whiskey brand created JIM, the artificial intelligence decanter, to answer questions about bourbon and pour a shot when asked. The voice of the decanter is 7th Generation Master Distiller Fred Noe, who has a clear Kentucky accent. Although it seemed like Jim Beam was attempting to ridicule recent artificial intelligence products such as Amazon Echo or Google Home, JIM is a real device.
