Are Alexa and Siri AI?

Angie Wisdom and Dr. Chirag Shah discuss how artificial intelligence could play a role in online and professional relationships. It might be some time before we see the futuristic concept of artificial intelligence that is depicted in science fiction novels and films come about in real life, but AI is still all around us. Most homes have some form of voice assistant gadget, such as an Alexa smart home device or Siri assistant on an iPhone. These machines have developed the ability to learn and respond in a way similar to humans' cognitive abilities, all thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms. Alexa and Siri are applications powered by artificial intelligence.
