AI Software Comes Alive

It's been a big month for artificial intelligence. On May 9, a hot startup unveiled a shape-shifting personal assistant. On May 12, a legacy computer company that thinks it's a startup shifted a platform to cyber security. VIV is the product of two artificial intelligence wunderkinds, Das Kittlaus and Adam Cheyer. They've been tinkering with the smart frontier of software for the better part of 15 years. In fact, the two were working on natural language programs at DARPA long before working at that defense project was cool.
