In the world of intelligent software agents, the real HAL may be Viv

August 11, 2014

Harry Wang, the director of health and mobile product research at industry research firm Parks Associates, echoed that assessment.

“Viv represents maybe the next milestone in the evolution of A.I. and human-machine interface design,” he told VentureBeat, “but not the greatest leap-forward nor the end-game.

“It may be more advanced, more intelligent, and more efficient than Siri, Google Now, or Microsoft’s Cortana, but I am hard pressed to believe it is far ahead in this race, because its overall approach is similar to [its] competitors’ R&D direction, only that it is ahead by a step or two for now.”

From the article "In the world of intelligent software agents, the real HAL may be Viv" by Barry Levine.
