Trend #2 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) Gets Serious
• Already, personified AI assistants from a handful of companies (Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri) have access to billions of users via smartphones and other devices.
• However, even bigger, more profound changes are on their way as levels of human control are ceded directly to AI, such as in autonomous cars or robots. “
