I\u2019ve been using the Amazon Echo device for almost a year. And most of what I do is ask Alexa \u2013 the virtual assistant in Echo \u2013 what the weather is, who won the Rams game, add batteries to my shopping list, or even to play the new song from Prince.\nI also use Siri to dial people on my iPhone when I\u2019m in the car. And, with Windows 10, I\u2019m beginning to ask Cortana \u2013 Microsoft\u2019s virtual assistant \u2013 for stuff as well.\n\nMore and more we\u2019re all using intelligent agents/services to handle routine things that take up time. Dennis Mortensen, co-founder of X.ai \u2013 the service behind virtual scheduling assistant Amy \u2013 shares why he feels we\u2019re at the tipping point with artificial intelligence. He also shares his vision of a world where services like Siri, Alexa, Cortana and Amy will work together on our behalf to free us up from mundane tasks, and allow us to focus on more important things.
