Summary | Google recruited Reddit users to analyze their language and improve the voice recognition tool Google Now. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, or Cortana often fail to recognize different English accents. The technology (machine learning) listens to a language until it can understand it well. Google wants to focus on Irish and Scottish accents because its virtual assistants seem to have trouble understanding them.

Summary | Apple has a new research group that will be in charge of AI. With Siri, Apple was in fact one of the first companies to introduce chatbots. Nowadays, there are many personal assistants that are far better than Siri (e.g. Alexa and Google Assistant). Unlike Google or Facebook, Apple does not base its research and activities on people's personal information. However, to be efficient in the field of AI, a company needs a lot of personal data. This is why Facebook and Google are at the forefront of these technologies.
