Topic Reading-Vol.2072-12/13/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Amazon's Alexa heads to the workplace
If people have gotten used to using AI speakers at home, why not using them in their offices?
Think of smartphones. They are now used not only by individuals but also for payment, identification, and even for businesses. So, it may be quite natural that this rapidly getting popular device will be used in offices and businesses. For now, touch panels are replacing paper or humans. But it may not be such a distant future for AI speakers to take some of those roles. For example, you could call someone just by saying the person’s name or ID instead of dialing the number. You may also get the information you need without typing the keyboard. It’s like just having a personal assistant in the office. That’s what the users of AI speakers are enjoying, isn’t it?
Yes, there are of course security and privacy issues as the information and actions could be logged and stored in the cloud. But there are always ways to solve problems and concerns.
By the way, does it sound futuristic to have an AI speaker order printer paper?
Enjoy reading and thinking of an environment where people are just speaking to devices.
