The Rise of AI Assistants
Does the “rise of AI assistants” sound like something out of a sci-fi movie --“The Terminator”, maybe? For better and worse, AI assistants are increasingly impacting every aspect of lives and businesses.
Today’s AI assistants have moved far beyond simple chatbots that were limited to handling basic tasks, such as responding to FAQs or redirecting users. I had a fascinating conversation with Heidi Araya, an AI Enabler for Solopreneurs, Startups, & SMBs, about several emerging trends that will redefine the role of AI assistants in our businesses:
Advanced Voice Recognition: Future AI assistants will have more refined voice recognition capabilities, allowing for more natural and fluid conversations. This will make them more user-friendly and accessible.
Autonomous Agents: Look for the development of AI assistants that can operate independently of human intervention, able to perform a variety of tasks autonomously, from managing schedules to processing transactions.
AI in E-Learning and Training: I was especially amazed by how AI avatars could play a significant role in e-learning, providing real-time assistance and personalized training experiences. This could revolutionize how training and education are delivered.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, advancements bring new challenges and ethical questions, particularly concerning job displacement and algorithmic bias.
Listen to our entire conversation here.
Speaking of The Terminator and other foreshadowings of AI, I was recently reminded of an old Star Trek: Next Generation episode where Geordi creates and interacts with 😚 an avatar of the engineer who designed the Enterprise. Your thoughts?
IP is fuel (or love, depending on your proclivities!) 🚀
