Tom Gruber: Co-Founder of Siri on the capability of AI to change the world

AI is going to change the world – or is it?  The world of artificial intelligence has been booming, with major corporations and small businesses alike integrating the software into their work.  Tom Gruber is one of the minds behind Siri, the iconic virtual personal assistant purchased by Apple in 2010.  He’s now an entrepreneur and co-founder of another company, an adaptive music company called LifeScore.  Gruber told Mike Hosking that compared to some other major technological advances, AI is likely to be on the more transformative end.   “It’s omni-purpose,” he said.  “You can do all kinds of things, pretty much anything involving language on the input and language on the output, with this new technology.”  “It cuts across all vertical industries.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
