The Future of AI: Ordering Pizza
August 25, 2016
I love the examples trotted out by real journalists when reporting about artificial intelligence. Why define the term when one can bite into such morsels as:
you want to go to eat a pizza with certain characteristic in a place you love, you want to make a reservation. So from your car with your display, you can reserve your place in the restaurant and ask for the menu and choose your pizza. When you are near the restaurant, the city gives you information to your car, where the nearest garage is, and where you have more places and the price. You can do this all via search. This is the real revolution.”
The source of this recycled nugget from the days of Scott McNealy and his sound bites is “The Future of Search: Start-ups Look to Take on Google with Artificial Intelligence.”
The write up profiles several companies pointing the way to future of artificial intelligence and maybe, just maybe, a challenge to the Alphabet Google thing. Excited yet. I am. Definitely.
What drives the entrepreneurs at Twiggle and FacilityLive and other AI start ups? Easy. With Dan Grigsby’s departure from Deep Machine, greener pastures seem to be an allure.
As I said, “Excited.” Sort of.
