Even Ikea Is Studying AI Now

Do we want our machines to act like machines, or do we want them to have a personality? Should they be male or female? Should AI reflect each individual's worldview? Should it live only on our phones or in our homes, or should it permeate the environment we live in? Should it be able to read and react to our emotions? These are the questions that AI designers and engineers are already asking about the machine learning-enabled technologies–and now Ikea wants to ask the rest of us, as well.
