How AI is shaping the hands-free computing experience

Digital growth accelerated over the last few years in Asia Pacific. There are more than four billion mobile phone subscriptions across the region and more than 1.4 billion Asian consumers now use social media every month, with 95% of them accessing platforms via mobile devices – the highest ratio in the world. New technology offers exciting opportunities for businesses, governments, and society; and the rapid growth and speed of change we're seeing as a result of this digital connectivity is shaping the everyday lives of the people in this region. For businesses, new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have a significant implication on the future workplace as a means to make computers and mobile devices more hands-free. The future of hands-free human-machine interfaces is highly dependent on how well these devices can understand human behaviour and respond to it.
