“ Over the next five years, we’ ll see intelligent systems embedded throughout the physical world, from vehicles and industrial equipment to robots, warehouses and other critical infrastructure,” he says.
“ Interacting with machines through screens, menus and traditional interfaces alone will become impractical.”
What’ s more, he believes people will expect to communicate with intelligent machines as naturally as they communicate with one another:“ In five years – and really much sooner than that – systems will understand human intent, and communicate seamlessly across people, machines, enterprise systems and AI.
“ They will understand the environments around them as well, recognising important signals from the physical world and incorporating that context into decision-making.”
Cerence AI’ s broader view is that one of the defining challenges of the next decade will be making that interaction natural, trusted and scalable.
Brian concludes:“ That’ s the opportunity we’ re pursuing at Cerence AI: building the trusted interaction layer for physical AI.” aimagazine. com 95
