Summary | Researchers have tested various artificial intelligence smartphone assistants with how they respond to crises. The results were very poor.

Experts think AI assistants could potentially be a great help in a crisis because people might more easily open up to their smartphones than to another person.

Summary | Facebook and other corporations are trying to improve artificial intelligence's image in society. Many people are afraid of it, that it will take away their jobs, or do not trust it with high-stakes tasks such as flying planes, overseeing children, or medical diagnoses. It is likely that all of these things will happen and a consortium of corporations of the digital world are trying to lift the stigma off of these facts. After all, we are already trusting artificial intelligence to remind us to take medication, to guide us through traffic while avoiding traffic jams, and so on.
