The best interface is no interface. In fact interfaces get in the way. 96m smart speakers will be sold by 2022 and 50% of all searches will be voice searched by 2020. Gartner predicts Conversational AI will supersede “cloud-first, mobile-first” as the most important, high level imperative for the next 10 years.

In this session learn how Digital Assistants can take full advantage of the innovations in AI through semantic parsing and graphs to create a Your Own Personal Digital Assistant.
