Siri, Alexa and also your Car …

When I enter my Car, I start the engine and usually after an appointment or a trip outside my hometown I say: „Hey BMW, bring me home“ and the Car is friendly by saying: „Yes, at home it’s the best place.“ After that, the navigation starts the route to my home. And yes, I trust the car 100%. Sometime I have fun with other guests in my car while I say: „Hey BMW, tell a joke“ and the car starts to tell jokes. Sounds easy, but it’s based on a practical solution of AI. The Engine understands human commands and very simply, the car does what I want. OK, telling jokes is sometimes nonsense, but bring my home, ist very userful.

Apple and the other Techs are in love to AI. It’s not for fun. It is strong necessary generating cash by forecasting human behavior or interpret the human commands in a way, that humans benefits from.
