Alexa Vs Cortona

If an individual has a hard time getting up and adjusting things such as how bright the lights are, the individual can say, “Hey Alexa, dim the lights please”.[2] Then the Amazon Echo will proceed to dim the lights. The Echo Dot could also control the temperature of the room as well and adjust it with a command [6]. Also, if an individual decides to watch TV but does not want to get the phone and order pizza, he or she can say, “Hey Alexa, order a large cheese from domino's.” A negative effect Amazon Echo has on society is how it's always listening. Currently the Amazon Echo is being used in a murder case in Arkansas, which raises the question about how private an individual's conversations are. However, the police had to obtain a search warrant in order to access the Amazon Echo. This answers the question that an individual's conversations are being recorded by the Amazon Echo because it’s always on and listening. This can deteriorate people from buying the Amazon Echo, and other personal home assistants as well. As a result of this possible outcome, the economy could take a hit as well since everything has started to go with using voice commands such as the Xfinity X1. People would not invest their money into these companies and sell off their stocks because since the Amazon Echo stores the conversations on the cloud, a hacker could gain access to it and it could be used against them in a court of

Friends go all sorts of lengths to help one another and this is shown from the machine using mood as Eme goes from sad to joyful all from this machine's dedication. Despite Emes' situation with her husband, the machine makes her feel warm inside through its music, “I grinned, my heart felt so warm” (Okordfor 729). Moreover, the author uses the mood of grinning and feeling warm to show Emes strong emotions and connections with the machine. It shows the reader that Eme is no longer scared of the machine nor her husband as she knows she can come to the machine and get the help she needs from a true companion. Nnedi Okorfdor uses mood in many different ways throughout the story, “The Spider Artist” to show the reader the friendship between Eme and the machine.

To begin with,while Alexa and Jose’ are on the mission.The only person that knows is her dad but not her mom,That means that they will have to be extra secretive about the trip so her mom won’t find out. Alexa doesn’t want to come off mean or disrespectful to her mom because she knows her mom does a lot for her. But is hoping her mom doesn’t find out about the mission.“It was Alexa’s mom, Helen, who was always there for her with abundant time’(Chapman pg.4)’.Alexa tries to support her mom in her biology job so she won’t think anything suspicious”I know mom, I want it to go well for you too”.”Im sorry mom,Alex renewed her vow to improve her attitude(pg.5),Alexa feels as if she is being rude to her mom

The central idea of this artical is that people are concered that what they say to alexa is not very private and people can see what you say. First, a man was killed and they had to use alexa to find who was the killer. The artical says that, "In the Arkansas case, authorities are investigating the death of a man found in a hot tub at a friend's home. They requested the home's Echo and Amazon's stored recordings in hopes they might contain evidence. The friend is charged with murder." Next, all the question you have goes to sombody that it working for amazon. The auothor wrote, "Once it hears someone say a keyword, such as "Alexa," it shares what it hears with Amazon's servers to process a response."

If you really believe in the future of AI technology— helping us accomplish tasks that humans fail at— then go ahead. It can be justified that AI can do all the medical work that requires precision, and even jobs that workers are reluctant to do. On the other hand, AI technologies may decide our future, and our society does not know enough about AI to continue. To begin with, we have the capabilities to do something for our future, or else, as Nick Bostrom believes that, “...we could be sleepwalking into a future in which computers are no longer obedient tools but a dominant species with no interest in the survival of the human race. "Once unsafe superintelligence is developed, we can't put it back in the bottle"(“Rise of the Machines”). Isn’t it safer to not do something in the first place, compared to doing something and regretting it for the rest of your life? Advancing AI technologies may sound like a terrific idea, however, after

They normally have a positive and helpful effect on us, but they can also have a negative effect. In an article published on The Week, the author describes the advancements of voice technology and what companies are making them. The author also touches on the fact that there are downsides to our AI friends. “Privacy is a big [downside]. Personal assistants are always ‘listening’ to their ‘wake word,’ often their name, and many users have had the irritating experience of accidentally triggering their artificially intelligent companions.” What’s more, because the devices are constantly “listening,” they can gather intel on your habits, where you live, and what you enjoy. “Naturally, there are concerns that having a listening device in your home is an opportunity for tech companies to gain even more insight into your buying and personal habits.” With this information, ads will be given to your IP address (the physical location where you access the web) resulting in the companies knowing who you are, where you live, and what you do. This relates quite closely to external influences, because the companies use your data to influence what you buy through advertisements. Overall, the privacy issue centralized around these products is yet another fine example of how external influence shape you and tune your

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says, “Artificial Intelligence”? The Terminator? Perhaps the Matrix trilogy? Ever since the inception of the computer, science fiction has brought us scenes of super-intelligent computers who want to take over all of mankind. In reality, Artificial Intelligence is still in it’s infancy, and has done much more good for humans than bad. Over time, people’s perspective of AI has changed drastically. We have gone from thinking that AI will take over the world and obliterate mankind to thinking about all the benefits we can get from AI. The change in people’s perspective lately towards a more positive view of AI has boosted the production, sales, and advancement of home automation and AI, making

A major issue raised by “the Internet of Things” technology is whether such technology, like Alexa, may be used

Of note is that a new feature is available this year: the hands-free Siri device.

Life with A.I. will be easier if used properly. Many tasks that people face today will become much simpler and less time-consuming allowing for time to be spent more productively. Tasks such as shopping and transportation will become automated for you. The average person will be able to spend more time doing what they please rather than the tasks plagued with us today. The key to all this however is ensuring that this new time be spent bettering society rather than becoming lazy and unproductive such as what the movie Wall-E predicts happening. In Wall-E the ordinary citizen spends their time in front of a monitor watching shows while technology does everything for them. This too can happen in our future.

For those who do not know, artificial intelligence is exactly what is called, an "intelligence" through a computer that is artificially created by humans. A.I. is defined to be able to learn and use the information it learns to produce "thoughts" of its own, almost as if it were a thinking human. Though many may believe A.I. is just a robot which is able to speak and understand humans, it is much more than that. A.I. technologies are being implemented in smartphones, homes, cars, watches, headphones, and is also being developed to work in many more ways that help give humanity an easier life.

But with these great advantages there are always some disadvantages to weigh in to the equation. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch and robots are no exception to this rule. There are of course a few negative aspects to robot usage. Here are some of the questions that arise: are there such kinds of robots that should not be created? Will robots put capable workers out of jobs, if so is this a justifiable action? And of course the ignorant issue of, what if some day robots become like people, in terms of thinking and acting for them selves, how would we be able to distinguish robot from human?

These smart devices are no doubt a blessing, as these devices provide access to the world and interconnectivity along with that these devices give an advantage in the case on portability, ease of access and a better understanding of the technological culture. On the contrary the same medium can be used against those users, to overcome their security like the heart bleed bug (breaching SSL libraries), and access their personal data (I-cloud/Sony Play station server hack), specifically their financial data.

People are tired to hear so many smart things and afraid of smart things will replace human being. However, a caveman has no idea how to use guns and bullets for hunting. Ancient roman person does not understand why an opera display on a television. Therefore, people can not completely know what things will happen in the future, and we continually looking for the real means of smart. Smart products, such as smart phones, give us many benefits and improve our life. If smart manufacture or factories go into our life, how much impact will give to us?

Many of tech companies and organization are putting into use the AI technologies that are made up of the robots, augmented reality and even the virtual assistants. Recently there was a report that was undertaken by Accenture in 12 nations and it showed that AI that is able to sense the environment has the ability to know what is happening to lead to the taking of an action. All these would, later on, lead to the rise in the levels of productivity to sales of 40% in the year 2035.The report goes on to show that once AI is well utilized, there will
