List of Intelligent Personal Assistants entries:

Intelligent personal assistants, also called virtual assistants, is software or a device that can assist the user with tasks, planning, or retrieving information similarly to a human assistant. This technology usually fully utilizes the sensors present on the device it runs on for contextual awareness. This way it can deliver more accurate and relevant information. Modern intelligent personal assistants are able to learn based on previous input so they can offer better, more personalized results to the user.

Personal assistants that are for the general consumer are, for example, the Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana, or Amazon Echo. Advanced AIs that can also be utilized as intelligent personal assistants in some applications include for example the IBM Watson.

Main Characteristics

These assistants usually take a form of an app or a device that acts as an interface for the user. Through this interface, the user can issues queries and commands to the assistant software either by voice or by text. The user-end interface is able to understand natural language, retrieve relevant information from it, and pass the now parsed query to a server on which the actual assistant's software runs. The query is processed and appropriate information is retrieved, or action undertaken, and the result is sent back to the user interface where it is displayed by text and, often, read aloud using speech synthesis.

The software is usually found on personal, hand-held devices, mainly smartphones. The assistant then can be available at any time, provided there is connection to the Internet, as no processing is actually done on the device itself. The first widely available personal assistants software was Siri. There are many software personal assistant currently, e.g. Cortana, Google Now or Amazon Alexa.

The software personal assistants are also used in smart home kits, which also represents intelligent personal assistants. These devices process voice commands and controlled the smart home environment. The pathfinder of these devices was Amazon Echo but there is already shipped also Google Home.

Historical overview

Clippit

One of the earliest examples of a electronic personal assistant engine is the Apple's Knowledge Navigator[1] from 1987. John Sculley, then Apple CEO, demonstrated the vision of an artificial intelligence application that helps the user in an academic setting.[2] Sculley wanted something that would accompany his keynote speech and opted for a short "science-fiction" video from human-computer interaction researcher William Buxton. The group created a short video[3] showing their idea about what the interaction between the user and the virtual assistant may look like in the year 2011. The video was originally meant only as a showcase of technologies Sculley would highlight in his keynote but Apple liked the concept and created several sequels for marketing purposes.[4]

During 90' Microsoft introduced two personal assistants, Bob and Clippit.[5] Microsoft presented Microsoft Bob in 1995, as an assistant in their Windows 3.1 software. Microsoft Bob should have provided user friendlier environment, but it was also criticised and therefore it was removed from the later versions of their product.[6] Clippit, was introduced by Microsoft in their product Office 1997. It was intent to be users guide and assistant. Clippit was the default character. Customers could installed some other characters, but Clippit was a prevalent assistant. Although, it should have helped users of Microsoft Office, majority of users find it annoying and not helpful. There were also several parodies on this character.[7] Due to criticism of the customers and Clippit and other assistants were removed from Microsoft Office 2008.[5]

The first genuine intelligent personal assistant, which was publicly available, is Siri. A development of Siri was based on Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),namely the project CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes). The aim of the program was to develop a software which could help military commanders with organisation. In 2003, they started a cooperation with SRI Inc., a non-profit research institute which was founded by Stanford University. The project was successful. They developed an artificial intelligence, which could process the required tasks. Moreover, these AI could learn in a real time from experience.[8] Their personal assistant was commercialised by Siri Inc. which developed Siri. Siri was acquired by Apple in 2010 and introduced as an app for iPhone 4s in 2011.[9] The introduction of Siri inspired the personal assistant of other companies as Google Now, Microsoft Cortana, and Amazon Alexa.[10]

The development of intelligent personal assistant's devices was based on the intelligent personal assistant's software. The first intelligent personal assistant's device was Amazon Echo, which use Amazon Alexa's speech syntheses. The device was unveiled 6th November 2014. Although it appears rather surprisingly,[11] it achieved a great success.[12] It was followed by the similar projects from other companies namely Google Home, Apple HomeKit or Mycroft.[10]

Purpose

Intelligent personal assistants is a software or a device that can assist the user in his daily activities, navigation, information retrieval and organization.

  • 1995 - Microsoft incorporated Bob in their Windows software[6]
  • 1996 - Clippit was introduced as a part of Microsoft Office 1997 software[7]
  • 4th February 2010 - Siri Inc. unveiled Siri[13]
  • 9th July 2012 - Google Now was released for smart devices with Android 4.1[14]
  • August 2014 - Microsoft released the beta version of Cortana[15]
  • 6th November 2014 - Amazon Echo was unveiled[11]
  • 9th May 2016 - Viv was introduced[16]
  • 4th October 2016 - Google Home was unveiled[17]

Enhancement/Therapy/Treatment

Personal assistants can greatly help user to effortlessly organize their activities or use online services as well ass aid in information retrieval. They are developed to solve a complex task and in that way enlarge the capabilities of their users. In addition, intelligent personal assistants learn from interaction with their users and are able to offer a service which suit their users.[18] Intelligent personal assistants also benefits from their use of voice commands. As David Nahamoo from IBM argues that speech is the main human communication tool and it is a very quick way to get the point.[19] Intelligent personal assistants could also provide various kind of information ranging from weather and traffic situation and recipes to factual information and new headlines.[20] However, the amount of information, which each could provide, differs.

There is currently a rising market of smart devices, which is also called Internet of Things (IoT). Both types of personal assistants enable the natural and fast interaction with smart devices.[19] The smart devices, which could be controlled with intelligent personal assistants, include lightbulbs, coffee machines, refrigerators, thermostats or garage doors.[20] In addition, certain smart devices even included Amazon Alexa.[21][22]

The intelligent personal assistants were originally developed in the military environment.[8] They can however solve task in other areas as a medical care,[23] shopping,[18] business, or transportation.[24]

Intelligent personal assistant can be used for a learning a foreign language. The software, which is suitable for this purpose, is Google Now.[25] However, other software and devices could be also helpful which phrases or pronunciation.[26]

There are several customer's reviews which suggested that intelligent personal assistants could be really helpful for elderly and disabled people. It has not, however, been reflected by researchers or developers. Customers argue that intelligent personal assistant could call the help, if an elderly person has an accident.[27] The intelligent personal assistants could make physically disabled people more independent, since it helps them to control their home environment by voice.[28] The voice control is also suitable for visually disabled people.[29] Judith Newman from The New York Times and the mother of an autistic child claims that Siri is a great companion of her communication-impaired son.[30] Nonetheless, studies and research of this phenomenon are needed to any conclusive claim about the benefit of intelligent personal assistants.

Ethical & Health Issues

An evening with Gatebox's personal assistant Azuma Hikari

The rise of intelligent personal assistants is linked with several ethical issues. The one most discussed is the privacy concern. In order to work properly, intelligent personal assistants have to collect a great deal of personal informations about its users, including location, password, email, calendars, address books or preferences. Additionally, the task is not solved in the device, but all the data are processed to a remote data centre.[31] There is a possibility that at least some companies who developed intelligent personal assistants store these data and use them in their commercial strategies. Namely, the answer which an assistant express after user's question could contain a paid content[32] or the assistant could prioritize the goods produced or shipped by the company which developed it.[33] Another problem linked with this issue is the data security. Even when the company has no intents to use personal data it received, the can be stolen and misused by a third party.[34]

When Apple acquired Siri, its capabilities were reduced due to Apple policy.[8] This problems is linked with nearly all intelligent personal assistants. They are as effective as many apps they can used. Consequently, the efficiency is affected by the cooperation between their developers and the companies which owns the apps.[35]

Certain intelligent personal assistant's devices tend to express human-like features, which could badly affected population. This issue was pointed out especially with respect to Gatebox device, which is developed in Japan. It was deemed that it might deepened the birthrate crisis which is currently in Japan.[36] However, since the device has not been shipped yet, the impact on society is unknown.

The considerable issue among intelligent personal assistants is also tech copycats. The term means copying of technologies. It is currently quite widespread. One example of this behaviour could be introduction of Google Now and Microsoft Cortana, soon after the introduction of Apple Siri. In addition, the present rise of intelligent personal assistant's devices was influenced by the introduction of Amazon Echo. Google Home device was already presented and Microsoft Home Hub or Apple HomeKit are estimated to appears soon. Copycats was point out and criticised by David Pogue, who argues that it slow down technological innovations.[10]
