Artificially intelligent beings, once portrayed in celluloid as gigantic machines inside mammoth control rooms, are now a part of every smartphone (virtual assistants). And as I write this post, technology bigwigs and startups alike are tirelessly engaging in the effort to build the perfect virtual assistant for everyone. In their powerful endeavor, they have been strongly aided by the power of inexpensive, computing platforms in the form of the smartphones. Significant advancements in speech recognition algorithms have also contributed to the optimism. Those who understand technology will also appreciate the fact that access to data through web APIs has also boosted the research and outcome in the domain.
