SXSW 2019

Final Frontier for the AI Assistant....Your Office

Description:

Advancements in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are driving the race to deliver your very own personal assistant. Apple gave us Siri, who is always in our pocket , while Amazon and Google are invading every living room, kitchen and bedroom, so what's left? The workplace.

Do you need a special workplace assistant? Why not put an Amazon Alexa in the conference room? It turns out that workplace requests such as “Open Ben’s slides from the budget meeting last week" require different technology than consumer queries like "what’s the forecast for Austin today?" Jonathan will explain why domain knowledge, security and identity take on new meaning in the workplace and he will look at the innovative new technologies being developed to deliver your workplace assistant.
