Investment in consumer-focused artificial intelligence, particularly for home automation purposes, has expanded in recent years. At the outset of 2016, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced a personal commitment to creating an artificially intelligent assistant to make life easier around the house.
He described his strategy as starting with a survey of current available systems, including Google’s Nest, which offer integrated “smart home” controls. He will then explore ways of combining this with voice-control software, such as that developed by Amazon and Apple. Zuckerberg likens his quest to that of fictional billionaire inventor Tony “Iron Man” Stark.
The kind of system he is trying to create has already been envisioned by companies such as Samsung, which recently launched a SmartThings Hub as the basis of its connected home system. At the same time, Amazon is working in the opposite direction, with its Alexa voice-control system as a fulcrum for its smart home.
