A talk laying out the near future of intelligent conversational interfaces – programming for the mr robot era. Bots and machines talking to humans talking to machines. In this talk RedMonk industry analyst James Governor will lay out the emerging landscape for bot-driven apps and machine learning. As we move into voice-driven programmable platforms like Google Now, Siri and Cortana , and intelligent agent-based systems, developers are getting rid of the old UIs completely. What will the world look like when we start talking to the machines, and no longer need to walk around looking down at our phones all the time? A number of trends are changing as machine learning become a reality and we see new platform abstractions and approaches emerge. Big Data, pervasive telemetry, augmented reality, machine learning, integration of every service– what’s not to like?

“Artificial intelligence has captured the rhythm of science
fiction. For example, the script of a new science fiction
short is the creation of a bot. Although the software
provides the order of the word choices, the source
material is human. It works by algorithm and it derives its
poetic power from the words of human feeling. The
results are surprisingly good and even funny, in spite of
its mechanized origins.”

Asimov’s Laws
A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to
come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it
by human beings, except where such
orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as
long as such protection does not conflict
with the First or Second Law.
