In a recent VentureBeat piece, Devindra Hardawar lays out a balanced view of the developments and ethical issues materializing with the rise of predictive technology. The author provides an overview of key intelligent assistants in the field, including Google Now, Tempo AI, and our own MindMeld app, and writes that the tech that powers MindMeld “portends the next wave of predictive innovation.”
"Imagine never having to sort through your inbox again, having an immaculate record of your finances always available, and getting perfectly curated playlists for a party based on the preferences of who’s attending. The benefits of an A.I. assistant will be hard to resist."
The article details the benefits that artificially intelligent technology can provide, along with the inevitable controversy it will bring. Hardawar argues that companies need to understand the ramifications of how their technology may alter our behavior, and the importance of being able to use these services “without losing essential elements of our humanity.”
