The first thing to understand about the next wave of AI assistants, which includes DuerOS, is they will be device agnostic. That is, they will live in the cloud and follow us from device to device, seamlessly syncing across time and space. If this doesn't give you evil nightmares of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, it probably should, because reading lips will likely be just one of the many "superpowers" these AI assistants possess. For anyone with an android smartphone, Google probably already knows more about your recent history than you do! Doubt this, just check out your Google Timeline or Search History for a creepy, dystopian, stroll down memory lane. But the AI assistant to rule them all will be the one best positioned to make sense of these breadcrumbs left behind when we search the internet or enable location tracking on our cell phones, and thereby anticipate our actions and desires.
