Xconomy: Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence

Voice-recognition lets people benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) almost without a second thought – and this technology is increasingly popular. Amazon had record sales of its Alexa device last year, with millions sold over the holiday season. Google reports that since last October, it has sold at least one Google Home smart speaker every second. And at CES 2018--the world's largest tech event--we saw a host of digital assistants that use a voice interface, from Microsoft's Cortana to Baidu's DuerOS and Samsung's Bixby. This trend will continue into 2018.
