AI: and you thought it was only a movie

Did you know that when you type in a keyword in Google, their Artificial Intelligence technology helps you finish your thought? I never gave it much thought of what made that happen, personally I was just happy that I didn't always have to type in some of the longer inquiries I had.

This technology isn't necessarily new, nor doesn't stop there, as Google has been developing and using AI to Make Search Smarter for quite some time now. In addition to online searches, they are working towards using this for speech recognition that they hope will one day be able to translate sentences on the fly using a smart phone.

Google isn't the only one that is investing in using AI in the mobile space, Intel, HP, Apple and Sprint Nextel are also developing AI-related software, components, or hardware for smart phones. Be on the look out for AT&T apps that tap into AI that can not only talk back to you, but can also take notes in class for you. Now where was that app for Dellarocas's last class?
