How Will AI Assistants Learn To Identify & Interact With Introverts?
I've been around AI assistants for several years now, whether it's Siri or Google or Alexa or Cortana, and I've voluntarily spoken to these assistants less than 5 times. That last bullet point would place me in the vague psychological basket of "introverts," a group that I think will increasingly prove challenging for AI assistants and the humans who program them. The technology giants of the world are all moving in unison towards a vision of voice- and gesture-driven interactions with artificially intelligent butlers who know their human masters' preferences and provide quick, accurate, and personalized assistance. For example, as I'm typing this on my Windows 10 laptop, there's a message from Cortana at the bottom of my screen beckoning me to "Ask her anything." Well, I'm afraid you're going to be waiting a long time to hear from me, Cortana, because I am happily alone right now and feel no need to involve someone else in what I'm doing.
