Summary | Artificial intelligence systems have made huge development leaps in recent times but there is still a lot of learning to do. The image recognition AI assistants of Facebook and Google demonstrate how, on the one hand, they can recognize a lot of images correctly if they have had enough data to learn from and, on the other hand, how it still makes bold mistakes. It suffices to manipulate a few pixels and the AI system gets confused. Developing AI systems not only takes a lot of data but also trial and error phases which are monitored and taught by human teachers.

Summary | Amazon's new chatbot Alexa is constructed to make life easier for us: it is an assistant that gets you the information you need or fetches (orders) groceries for you. You can operated without hands by simply calling "Alexa" and the microphone and speaker station will 'wake up' to follow your instruction. But while the artificial intelligence bot learns to be more humanoid from us, we are likely to lose human interactional abilities if we start speaking with robots on regular basis.
