Makers of Siri, Dag Kittlaus and Adam Cheyer, left the company to begin creating yet another AI assistant. It's called Viv. The duo left Apple after disagreements over the functionality of Siri.


Viv is believed to do more than Siri or other existing virtual networks. It's an AI assistant that we can speak to, but the difference here is that Viv is supposed to be able to handle complex requests and actually carry them out. The basic idea behind Viv is that it will be able to book dinner and a movie, and many more like this. 

Viv Labs' goal is to get its AI inside of tech everywhere. To make all of that work, Viv Labs is partnering with outside companies. GrubHub, Uber, Zocdoc, and SeatGuru are among Viv's 50-or-so launch partners, according to the Post.

Rather than selling out to a single company like Siri (the Post reports that Google and Facebook have already made offers), Viv's founders want their new assistant to get inside of TVs, cars, and all kinds of connected devices.

The report talks about how Viv can help order a pizza. On asking Viv to order a pizza, the AI bot typed if the user would like toppings. “The engineers, eight in all, started jumping in: “Pepperoni.” “Half cheese.” “Caesar salad.” Emboldened by the result, they peppered Viv with more commands: Add more toppings. Remove toppings. Change medium size to large,” adds the report. After 40 minutes made to orders pizzas arrived. This was one of the real-time demos and the technology is expected to be unveiled soon.

“In many ways, Viv appears to be similar to Amazon’s Alexa platform. Both rely on third-party service integration and bypass the use of any third-party apps in favor of direct communication with the service itself,” points out 9To5Mac.

The race for building AI bots has already begun with Facebook and Microsoft at the forefront.

Everything has pros and cons. With the #EarthDay around we did get to see a lot of action about how advancement in science and technology has degraded our earth. We do not promote any kind of activities that harms earth, We are just bringing to you How modern tech can actually help us save other species.

Artificial Intelligence will now contribute to prevent poaching. The AI learns the existing records and then predicts the patrols that help save animals.

As much we want to deny this, The facts state that a huge number of animals are killed daily. We have lost 95% tigers, and 98% rhinos to this shameful act.

The National Science Foundation built an application called PAWS (Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security) to help protect wildlife. The app has the same foundation as 'game theory', it uses mathematical and computer models to predict the behavior

of poachers.

The system uses data on past patrols and evidences. It gathers information on habitat and the paths of animals. With which we will be able predict the poachers trail.
