This week...

Apple, Siri and Artificial Intelligence -- A Duet With Siri (iPhone 4s Song)


Artificial intelligence (AI) is "the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as 'the study and design of intelligent agents' where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success" (Wikipedia).

Is Siri AI?  Or is it just speech recognition?  Difference?




What do you see in the future for such technology?  What is the future of AI and media tech?
