In this episode of Big Tech Little Tech, Rick Huckstep and Shaun Weston discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of a screen-less future, and how AI and IoT will play a role in shaping this future. The hosts explore the idea of ambient computing, where we are disconnected from a computer, but it's still there, out of sight. They discuss the limitations of current voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, and how they are moving towards being proper conversational AI.
Also in this episode, TikTok's €345m fine, an Amazon Prime ad model, paying for a Big Mac with your car, football shirts on Tower Bridge, and AI chatbots try stand-up comedy.
