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.

Today on the show... The world is going through a massive technological change. This is perhaps the greatest time to be alive - and the scariest. Do smarter machines mean smarter humans, or are smarter machines replacing us? The doom merchants say robots will replace 4 billion jobs in the next ten years, but does the sky ever actually fall in? Tonight, Tom Gruber, the co-founder of Siri speaks to us about what is true and what is not and what does this technological future hold.

Journey into the innovative mind of Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri and Chief AI Strategy Officer of Sherpa.ai. Robb and Josh welcome Tom for an enlightening exploration of humanistic AI—systems that augment and collaborate with humans, rather than replacing or competing with them. Using federated machine learning, Tom is working with Sherpa.ai to train advanced generative models on data in ways that maximize privacy and security. This creates opportunities to create safer personalized experiences, which the trio discusses along with exploring the value of designing around use cases related to accessibility.

Actuellement, il est difficile de savoir si une IA a été entraînée ou non à l'aide de données protégées par le droit d'auteur, avec ou sans l'accord des créateurs. Alors que les géants de la tech s'estiment en droit de le faire, d'autres entreprises tentent d'emprunter une voie plus « équitable » envers les artistes, soit en respectant les droits de la licence sous laquelle leur œuvre est enregistrée, soit en puisant la matière pour entraîner leur IA, exclusivement dans le domaine public ou en choisissant des contenus libre de droit. Mais comment reconnaître les IA qui respectent ces principes ?À cette question, Fairly Trained tente d'apporter une réponse. La mission de cette organisation à but non lucratif est de contrôler les données utilisées par les entreprises pour entraîner une IA. Toute société réussissant à obtenir le label Fairly Trained, peut donc se distinguer de la concurrence aux yeux des utilisateurs en leur assurant que leur IA a été entraînée dans le respect du droit d'auteur. Cela permet surtout aux usagers d'utiliser des des outils qui correspondent à leurs valeurs. À ce jour, neuf IA, dont huit spécialisées dans l'audio et une dans la génération d'images, ont obtenu cette certification. Liste et le lien vers chaque outil est dans la description de cet épisode.Pour l'historique, les gens derrière Fairly Trained ne viennent pas de nulle part. On y trouve notamment Maria Pallante, PDG de l'Association of American Publishers (AAP), Tom Gruber, co-fondateur de Siri, et Max Richter, compositeur et pianiste admiré par Sam Altman, le PDG d'OpenAI. Le créateur de l'organisation, Ed Newton-Rex, était pour sa part chargé du développement de Stable Audio au sein de Stability AI, la société derrière Stable Diffusion, avant de quitter son poste en novembre 2023. D'ailleurs, si Ed Newton a quitté son travail, c'est notamment parce que je cite : son ancien employeur « exploitait les créateurs » en utilisant leur travail sans leur accord. « Tant que les entreprises innovantes en matière d'IA diront : « Oui, c'est une utilisation équitable, nous pouvons prendre ce que nous voulons », je pense qu'il y aura une guerre entre les deux camps.Ceci dit, un tel label est-il vraiment utile ? Une chose est sûre, ce ne sont certainement pas Stable Diffusion ou ChatGPT qui vont chercher à l'obtenir vu leur position dominante sur le marché de l'IA. Si des batailles juridiques ont lieu dans le monde entier en ce moment même au sujet du droit d'auteur et de l'IA, il faudra certainement une action politique plus forte que la loi européenne sur l'IA pour changer les choses. Ceci dit, Ed Newton-Rex précise je cite : « Il existe un système gagnant-gagnant qui fonctionne pour tout le monde. Et c'est exactement ce que ce label tente de prouver » fin de citation.Les IA certifiées : Beatoven.AI ;Boomy, qui a eu quelques désaccords avec Spotify l'année dernière ;BRIA AI ;EndelLifeScore, que l'on retrouve dans l'application Zen de Deezer ;Rightsify ;Somms.ai ;Soundful ;Tuney.

Vyučil se tradičním kadeřníkem a ještě dneska by si věděl rady s trvalou ondulací i dámským střihem. Přesto se rozhodl výhradně pro mužskou klientelu a udělal dobře. Začátky nebyly jednoduché, ale držel se svých zásad, ze kterých neslevuje ani dnes. Které to jsou, podléhají muži módním trendům a jaká je svatá trojice v USA se dozvíte v dnešním rozhovoru.

Xabi Uribe-Etxebarria, ingeniero industrial, puso en marcha en 2012 Sherpa.ai, un asistente digital basado en inteligencia artificial. No tardó en medirse sin complejos con los Siri, Alexa o Cortana. Empezó llevando su tecnología a los teléfonos, pero ya la vende a terceros para que puedan integrarla en sus productos: altavoces, auriculares, electrodomésticos, automóviles. Su primer cliente fue el gigante Porsche. El año pasado Sherpa.ai fichó a Tom Gruber, uno de los creadores de Siri y uno de los mayores expertos en Inteligencia Artificial. A nivel individual, Xabi acumula premios y reconocimientos por su capacidad innovadora, y Sherpa.ai ha sido considerada por la revista Fortune como una de las 100 principales empresas de Inteligencia Artificial a nivel mundial. Otra publicación, Datamation, la acaba de incluir, junto a IBM, Google y Amazon, entre las 10 compañías más importantes a nivel global de 2020 en este campo.

El futuro de los asistentes virtuales no pasa sólo por la voz, cada día más humanizada y amable. Pasará por pantallas y dependerá del machine-learning. La inteligencia artificial mejorará hasta límites insospechados en los próximos años. Los asistentes serán capaces de predecir nuestro comportamiento, nos ayudarán a tener más tiempo libre y nos guiarán en nuestra educación.Así lo describe Xabi Uribe-Etxebarria, creador de Sherpa. Hoy los entrevistamos a él y a su reciente incorporación al equipo, Tom Gruber, creador de Siri, que nos desvelará también que los asistentes no tienen por qué tener género. "Que Siri permita elegir voz masculina o femenina es una cuestión de diseño de producto", explica.El futuro de los asistentes virtuales también nos planteará nuevos retos, como el uso responsable que debemos hacer de las pantallas y, también, que los fabricantes deben tomarse en serio la seguridad de los dispositivos.Y hablaremos mucho de seguridad. Aquí nuestra escaleta de un episodio muy artesanal:- Los profesionales de la Cadena SER nos contarán en primera persona cómo salvaron la radio con el poder de la voz en un primer lunes de noviembre en el que sufrieron un ciberataque. Un ramsonware que se convirtió en 'El Gran Apagón' (tecnológico). Nos lo explicarán Javier Casal, Brian Pérez, Elena Carazo y el experto en ciberseguridad Eusebio Nieva, de Checkpoint.- Investigadores de la Universidad de Massachussets descubren cómo engañar a altavoces inteligentes y generar cualquier sonido en sus micrófonos usando punteros láser.- David Justo viaja a Berlín para hablarnos de pantallas y hábitos de uso responsables, con la ayuda de los profesionales de Zeiss.- Íñigo Sastre entrevistó a Xabier Uribe-Etxebarria y a Tom Gruber, de Sherpa Assistant. Escucharemos la entrevista completa.Además, tenemos un post muy guay en el blog de Podium. ¡Hala!

If you were born under a certain sign, Steven Spielberg's 1991 Peter Pan "sequel" was a childhood staple. For most others (and even the director himself) it's seen as a misstep at best, and a waste of a great cast at worst. Frank invites his old friend Tom Gruber to dive into the bargain bin and discuss why this Robin Williams vehicle deserves a better reputation.Before the nitpickers @ us on Twitter:Director Howard Hawks said a good movie is "three great scenes and no bad ones."The correct honorific is President Business, not Mr. Business (he lost the popular vote but won the electoral college).Subscribe and rate us wherever you found us!

This week, Dustin and I are joined by journalist and author, James Vlahos, to discuss the details of his book Talk to Me: How voice computing will transform the way we live, work and think.Where to listenApple podcastsSpotifyYouTubeCastBoxSpreakerTuneInBreakerStitcherPlayerFMiHeartRadioAbout Talk to MeJames Vlahos writes for the likes of WIRED, New York Times Magazine, Popular Science and GQ. His new book Talk to Mechronicles how the world’s biggest tech companies are battling to dominate voice—Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and the Assistant—the biggest technological paradigm shift since mobile phones. The book tracks the strange scientific quest—from humanoid talking contraptions of the 19th century to the latest AIs—that has resulted in our being able to say something to a voice assistant and receive an intelligible reply. And it explores voice computing’s potential to upend control of knowledge; to befriend, advise, and surveil; and to preserve memories of lost loved ones, as with James' Dadbotproject.“Voice computing will profoundly reshape the way humans relate to machines, and Talk to Me is a brilliant and essential guide to what’s coming. James Vlahos understands how the technology works and all the complex things it will bring into the world—and he’s a superb writer too. You’ll find insights and meaning on every page, and you’ll keep turning them. This book is dynamite.” — Nicholas Thompson, editor in chief, Wired “Conversational AI is a genuine paradigm shift in our experience with technology. Vlahos brings the whole story to life, from big-picture historical context to the impact on our intimate personal lives. A thoughtful and enjoyable read.” — Tom Gruber, cocreator of Siri“James Vlahos has written an excellent book on how voice computing has become more and more of a growing presence in our everyday world. In Talk to Me, he provides the promise and peril of this development.” — Ray Kurzweil, inventor, author, and futurist“The baton of disruption has been passed from the smartphone to voice, and Vlahos helps make sense of this tectonic shift.” — Scott Galloway, author of the bestseller The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and GoogleLinksCheck out the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Book Passage.Follow James Vlahos on Twitter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How smart can our machines make us? Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri, wants to make "humanistic AI" that augments and collaborates with us instead of competing with (or replacing) us. He shares his vision for a future where AI helps us achieve superhuman performance in perception, creativity and cognitive function -- from turbocharging our design skills to helping us remember everything we've ever read and the name of everyone we've ever met. "We are in the middle of a renaissance in AI," Gruber says. "Every time a machine gets smarter, we get smarter." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jusqu'à quel point les machines peuvent nous rendre intelligents ? Tom Gruber, le co-créateur de Siri, veut créer « l'IA humaniste » qui nous renforce et collabore avec nous au lieu de nous faire concurrence (ou nous remplacer). Il partage sa vision pour un avenir où l'IA nous aide à atteindre des performances surhumaine en termes de perception, de créativité et des fonction cognitive -- allant de compétences surdéveloppées en conception jusqu'à nous aider à nous souvenir de tout ce que nous avons lu et les noms de chacun personne rencontrée. « On est en plein milieu d'une renaissance dans l'IA » dit Gruber. « Chaque fois qu'une machine devient plus intelligente, nous devenons plus intelligents. »

Nossas máquinas podem nos tornar inteligentes? Tom Gruber, cocriador da Siri, quer criar uma "IA humanística", que nos aprimore e colabore conosco, em vez de nos substituir ou competir conosco. Ele compartilha a visão dele para um futuro no qual a inteligência artificial nos ajuda a alcançar o desempenho sobre-humano na percepção, criatividade e função cognitiva, desde turbinar nossas habilidades de design até nos ajudar a lembrar de tudo o que já lemos e do nome de todos que já conhecemos. "Estamos no meio de um renascimento da IA", diz Gruber. "Toda vez que uma máquina fica mais inteligente, nós ficamos mais inteligentes".

¿Qué tan inteligentes pueden ser nuestras máquinas? Tom Gruber, cocreador de Siri, quiere hacer una "IA humanista" que nos mejore y colabore con nosotros en vez de competir con nosotros o nos reemplace. Él comparte su visión de un futuro en el que la IA nos ayuda a lograr un rendimiento sobrehumano en la percepción, la creatividad y la función cognitiva... desde turboalimentar nuestras habilidades de diseño hasta ayudarnos a recordar todo lo que hemos leído y el nombre de todos los que hemos conocido. "Estamos en medio de un renacimiento en IA", dice Gruber. "Cada vez que una máquina es más inteligente, nos hacemos más inteligentes".

기계가 우리를 어느 정도까지 똑똑하게 만들 수 있을까요? 시리의 공동 제작자인 톰 그루버는 우리와 경쟁이 아닌 협력하는 "인간적 인공지능"을 만들고자 합니다. 그는 인공지능이 우리가 자각, 창의력 그리고 인지능력에 있어서 초인적인 힘을 발휘하도록 - 디자인 기술을 향상시키는 것부터 우리가 만났던 모든 사람들의 이름을 기억하도록 하는 것까지- 해주는 미래를 상상하도록 합니다. "우리는 지금 인공지능의 부흥기에 있습니다." 그는 말합니다. "기계가 똑똑해지면 저희 또한 똑똑해집니다."

You might have used products that just get the job done. (Think Excel.) They compete with similar products on features, cost, and other mechanics. The problem is, these products become commodities and can lose their users to competition in a heartbeat.  Meanwhile, there are standout products that are heralded as works of art. They inspire people and change lives, and consumers stick with these brands for a long time thanks to a glue called love. Most of us want to make amazing products and are looking for that je ne sais quoi to take it to the next level: Why do Apple and Nike stores continue to make money during retail recessions? What do the Jony Ive’s and Tom Gruber’s of the world know that we don’t? And when we hear that our products need to “delight” the user, what does “delight” really mean? Today on FemgineerTV we’re going to talk about the balance of science and art that goes into amazing design and discuss the building process behind products that delight users every single time. To help us out I’ve invited Pauly Ting, a user experience designer who has helped brands like Bloomingdale’s, Lexus, and American Express to reveal their purpose, express their personality, and deliver a complete and authentic user experience.  Whether you’re building a product for a startup or a larger corporation, you’ll want to watch this episode to learn: - Why it’s hard to differentiate your product if you fixate on features and the science behind them - Why most companies fail to make a meaningful connection with users - A simple 4-step framework that helps you clarify your design and speeds up development time After you’ve listened to the episode join the conversation here: http://femgineer.com/2015/08/the-art-vs-science-of-user-experience-design/
