"Nous estimons aujourd'hui n'être qu'à 2% du potentiel maximal de l'utilisation de la voix. Une chose est sûre, la reconnaissance vocale intégrée à nos différents appareils est en passe de devenir le standard de l'interaction Homme-Machine, apportant par la même occasion de nombreux usages et fonctionnalités."

"Pour l'heure, ces assistants se présentent sous la forme de petits cylindres, semblables à des diffuseurs d'huiles essentielles, à placer au cœur de son appartement. Mais leur forme va très vite changer." "[...] les assistants numériques sont même appelés à suppléer les applications de notre smartphone. «Malgré leur succès, il commence à y avoir une certaine lassitude à l'égard des applications. Un assistant pourrait toutes les remplacer pour vous faciliter la vie. Plus besoin d'ouvrir tel ou tel programme pour accéder à un service ou consulter une information.»" "La voix sera le prochain facteur de disruption dans le monde numérique. Les progrès de l'intelligence artificielle sont accessibles à tout le monde. Et d'ici peu, lorsque vous direz à Alexa «j'aimerais Running Man», le système saura, en vous connaissant, si vous désirez le roman de Stephen King ou le film d'action.»" "Un récent sondage mené par la société de marketing britannique Code Computerlove a donné des résultats surprenants, montrant que les assistants sont largement sous-exploités. Ainsi, un possesseur d'un assistant sur cinq l'utilise comme… minuteur pour cuire un œuf. " "Mais il y a aussi des inquiétudes: 80% des utilisateurs craignent qu'Amazon, Google ou Apple n'enregistrent leurs conversations privées."

"Cisco has added new features to its AI voice assistant for Webex that will make it easier for users to start meetings and place calls. The vendor also revealed plans this week at the Enterprise Connect conference to update Webex Meetings with facial recognition and other AI features in the coming months."

"Celestory développe un outil permettant d'écrire et mettre en scène sous forme d'application (chatbot, jeu vidéo, alexa) des scénarios interactifs sans coder."

"Que met-on en oeuvre comme technologies pour la reconnaissance faciale aujourd'hui ? Le visage deviendra-t-il une nouvelle empreinte digitale ? Quels sont les différents champs d'application pour les logiciels de reconnaissance faciale ? Faut-il voir la reconnaissance faciale d'un mauvais œil ?"

"Après les hôtels, Amazon élargit son offre B to B pour pousser l'adoption de ses enceintes connectées. Il s'agit cette fois-ci de la gestion des ressources humaines."

"-Smart speakers are not broadly useful-most users only use them for a few things-music, timers, alarms, and, in some cases, home automation scenarios. - Voice-only situations are limiting in cases where a visual or hybrid mode is required - media, entertainment, shopping, etc. - Engagement levels with third-party skills are very low (skills offer limited functionality and skills syntax is hard to remember). "I'm sorry, I don't know that" and other Alexa failures are no longer entertaining, but rather frustrating. Even Amazon acknowledges this [https://www.tomsguide.com/us/amazon-alexa-kills-skills,news-28072.html] - Smart speakers are NOT ubiquitous-the speaker on my kitchen counter is not in my car nor in my office!" "Apps - do we need to reinvent the wheel?" "Most people already have their banking, communications, social networking, navigation, travel and payment apps in their smartphones. They already know how to use them (simple). They already know which ones to use for what purpose-Slack for work, WhatsApp for friends, Messenger for family (user choice). They've already registered and set them up and they provide control over what information goes where-for instance, their portfolio may be in their banking app, their contacts are on the phone. They know which app sees what data (privacy). They also trust apps to protect them and their data. Imagine a voice assistant platform that just allows users to use the apps they already use-on-the-go - anytime, anywhere-with simple voice commands, without having to register these service relationships again, and without waiting for the developers to have to reinvent the wheel to plug into the platform. We must embrace mobile app actions as first-class citizens. We should be able to do things in our mobile apps with simple voice commands. We must provide user choice and personalize user experience without registration and without compromising privacy and trust."

"If voicebots provide value, then consumers will not hesitate to use them. [...] But convenience isn't one-sided. It has to be equally convenient for the business and for the consumer. And there are many underlying social, moral and legal implications to consider as this technology matures in support of that balance. How do you ensure a voicebot behaves ethically? How do you prevent inflection and sentiment analysis being deployed to manipulate people during a bot conversation? What do bots do with the information consumers provide? Will they remember credit card numbers? Where does information go? How is it stored? Who and what else can access it? There are severe privacy implications too. In Europe, for example, voicebots must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (which came into force last year)." [...] "And businesses deploying voicebots also had better be prepared for the hefty weight of user expectation. As humans, we are biologically wired to recognize voices and instinctively recall what we can do with the associated persona. " [...] "Even though voicebots are soon going to be everywhere, we are not going to be comfortable talking to them all the time. They will have utility, and they will be more convenient for quick queries and simple tasks. But, being able to talk with a real person about messy human matters has value that a bot can never be trained to manage completely and infallibly. "

> 2019 Voice report: Consumer adoption of voice technology and digital assistants https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-us/insights/2019-voice-report "Forty-one percent of voice assistant users are concerned about trust, privacy and passive listening, according to a new report from Microsoft focused on consumer adoption of voice and digital assistants. And perhaps people should be concerned - all the major voice assistants, including those from Google, Amazon, Apple and Samsung, as well as Microsoft, employ humans who review the voice data collected from end users."

"Demain, lorsque vous arriverez de bon matin dans la salle de bain, votre assistant vocal comprendra immédiatement que vous êtes particulièrement fatigué grâce à une caméra dissimulée dans le miroir et un algorithme qui analysera votre expression. Alors, il adoucira le ton de sa voix et ne vous proposera pas forcément de lancer la radio comme d'habitude. Ce type de scénario est actuellement testé par Orange à Rennes via une plate-forme de recherche baptisée Home'in."
