The Oscar-winning film Her explores a world where technology and humanity are inextricably connected. Is this portrait of the future actually realistic? Our CEO recently contributed an article to Re/code that analyzes the top distortions surrounding smart assistants like Samantha “and the reality of what we can expect in the future:”
"Imagine a future where intelligent assistants siphon us away from the mundane details that cloud our attention and direct us toward the most thought-provoking issues at hand: A cure for cancer, how to design the strongest bridge span, etc… This ability to outsource menial tasks and proactively discover relevant content will free us up to live better."
Will we ever fall in love with our personal assistants? WIll they talk back to us? Will they make us stupid? Satisfy your Samantha curiosities and check out the entire piece on Re/code.
