voice assistant

It was not the Amazon Skills revolution that was happening

Amazon skipped its annual’hardware event’ in Los Angeles this year due to reports that the company was far from achieving its promised new voice assistant. This comes amid reports that the new voice assistant could be months away from being available. Alexa was launched in 2015 and reportedly has over 1.6 lakh different skills on its platform.

Volkswagen says that it will place the chat system in its cars

Automaker Volkswagen and AI startup OpenAI have announced that they are collaborating on a voice assistant called ‘IDA’. The voice assistant can be used to control infotainment, navigation, and air conditioning, or to answer general knowledge questions. IDA is based on Openai’s LLM technology and will be available in Volkswagen cars later this year, OpenAI said.
