What Do Kids Ask Smart Speakers? | News & Opinion | PCMag.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Most often, they ask them to play their favorite songs, tell jokes, and sometimes, to do their homework. Of course, chatting with a bot comes with privacy concerns." "Those concerns have created a market for voice assistants that are more kid-friendly and less nosy, such as Chatterbox, a DIY AI for kids, and Toniebox, an entertainment-focused smart speaker that sells in privacy-friendly Europe."

Alexa in the Classroom? - 0 views

  •  
    "For now, the startup [Bamboo Learning Inc] is targeting parents and children but says the technology could eventually wind up in schools if it catches on. Persuading parents that Alexa is an appropriate education tool for kids could be tricky. " "Bamboo is hoping that it can carve out a niche as a useful tool for parents who want an educational diversion for their kids on the new voice software. That could mean offering their assistance to more companies like Highlights looking for expertise in educational applications for Alexa. Or, echoing the models of internet giants that rely on user-generated content, they could build out a platform for teachers and schools to build voice tools."

Amazon sends Alexa developers on quest for 'holy grail of voice science' | VentureBeat - 0 views

  • Amazon VP David Limp refers to Conversations as a great next step forward. “It has been sort of the holy grail of voice science, which is how can you make a conversation string together when you didn’t actually programmatically think about it end-to-end. […] I think a year or two ago I would have said we didn’t see a way out of that tunnel, but now I think the science is showing us that [although] it will take us years to get more and more conversational, […] this breakthrough is very big for us, tip of the iceberg,” Limp said.
  • At the event, Cheyer talked about how voice will define the next decade of computing and the importance of bridging first-party AI assistant services with a third-party voice app ecosystem. “I don’t want to have to remember what a car assistant can do, the TV system do, the Alexa versus Cortana versus … too much. I want one assistant on every device to access every service without any differentiation between what’s core and what’s third-party,” Cheyer said.
  • Pancholi shared with developers that potential next steps for Alexa Conversations scenarios may include collections of skills to help people watch content at home, get food delivered, or buy a gift.

  • Conversations could someday also become part of Amazon’s voice assistant for the workplace
  • Because of the nature of how voice apps work often without a screen, packaging skills means some skills may inevitably be left out or won’t be ranked.
  • Amazon’s skills recommendation engine that responds when you say things like “Alexa, get me a ride,” recommends voice apps based on measurements like engagement levels, which Amazon started paying developers for in 2017.
  • Conversations will incorporate skill quality measurements like user ratings, engagement levels Factors like regional significance, whether a skill works on a smart display, and personal information may also decide which skills appear during Alexa Conversations interactions.

    La graal de la voix selon Amazon : avoir une conversation sans y avoir pensé en terme de programmation de bout en bout. Un film- the night out scenario présenté lors de cette rencontre montre une conversation fluide avec alexa pour commander et réserver plusieurs choses : une place de cinéma, un diner et un taxi. L'objectif est de faire accomplir par l'assistant vocal des taches complexes incorporant plusieurs "skills" et permettant de réduire le nombre d'itérations pour faire des tâches comme réserver une place de cinéma ou commander à manger. La voix définira les contours de la technologie des 10 prochaines années. Je veux utiliser le même assistant sur tous les supports (devices) et non par support : l'assistant de la voiture, l'assistant de la télé,...
