The Smartest AI? Microsoft Cortana
January 20, 2015
You may want to read “The Smartest AI in the Universe Is More Human Than You Think.” You will learn that Microsoft developed this remarkable “more human” technology.
Here’s a passage I highlighted in pale blue:
“Cortana very literally thinks like a person, but she does it at a tremendously faster speed,” said Frank O’Connor, Franchise Development Director at 343 Industries. “Her morality, her sense of humor and emotions are human. They’re real, and they’re ostensibly organic.”
What’s 343 Industries? It is an American video game developer located not too far from Redmond, home of Microsoft.
I don’t play games. I have a Microsoft Phone. I find the voice search sort of useless. Sorry, Microsoft.
Cortana may be smart. She is not in my universe and when she intrudes, I navigate away from her as quickly as I can.
