How to design the AI device of the future
In 1990 Tim Bernes-Lee began writing the World Wide Web, an innovation that changed the world as we knew it forever. But as a five-year-old, my mind was being blown by a dancing flower. My brothers, friends and dog were all mesemerised by this incredible new toy that came to life and "danced" (jiggled) when music was played – it genuinely felt like sci-fi magic. Almost thirty years later and our dancing flowers have evolved into AI powered devices like Google Home, Amazon Echo and the new Apple HomePod - able to turn on lights, order pizzas and even tell us jokes. We've replaced dancing flowers in pots with talking bots that look like plant pots.
