AI

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is moving forward in leaps and bounds. There is a new product called Hound, a natural-language search engine for the Android smart phone, that can do remarkable things (if real). Watch a demonstration of its versatility in this YouTube Video. This product, developed by SoundHound Inc. (see: Corporate Website), is just bursting onto the market and is receiving considerable buzz. I first saw this demonstration on the reddit website and was quite impressed. A company I founded back in the 1990's, Occam Research Corp., developed a similar product (MUSE) ... but without the voice recognition and voice response. Although the above demonstration shows remarkable eclat, it does contain a few suspicious capabilities that deserve further investigation.

But, if real, this demonstration is a glimpse of what the future holds for AI ... a brave new world.
