One area where AI has promised a revolution is in voice assistants. Early versions of Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa were fairly robotic and required careful requests to get the response you want. Next-generation versions are now in the works, with Alexa+ in Beta across the US and others making significant strides in natural language. But they could still be better.
Sitting in Qualcomm’s cockpit platform at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, I’m witnessing an AI that not only sounds like a real human being, but it’s laughing and responding with ease to multiple questions at once, in probably the closest I’ve seen to a genuine conversation. This is RAiDiO.FYI, an interactive AI-powered radio station brought to you by the nine-time Grammy Award-winning artist and tech entrepreneur, will.i.am.
