The gripping inside story of the race to build conversationally
capable computers Chat with the author: ask your Alexa device to
'open the voice computing book' __________________ The next great
technological disruption is coming. The titans of Silicon Valley
are racing to build the last, best computer that the world will
ever need. They know that whoever successfully creates it will
revolutionise our relationship with technology - and make billions
of dollars in the process. They call it conversational AI.
Computers that can speak and think like humans do may seem like the
stuff of science fiction, but they are rapidly moving towards
reality. In Talk to Me, veteran tech journalist James Vlahos meets
the researchers at Google, Amazon and Apple who are leading the way
to a voice computing revolution. He explores how voice tech will
transform every sector of society: handing untold new powers to
businesses, upending traditional notions of privacy,
revolutionising access to information, and fundamentally altering
the way we understand human consciousness. And he even tries to
understand the significance of the revolution firsthand - by
building a chatbot version of his terminally ill father. Vlahos's
research leads him to one fundamental question: What happens when
our computers become as articulate, compassionate, and creative as
we are? __________________ 'Brilliant and essential . . . You'll
find insights and meaning on every page, and you'll keep turning
them. This book is dynamite.' NICHOLAS THOMPSON, editor-in-chief of
Wired 'Conversational AI is a genuine paradigm shift in our
experience with technology. Vlahos brings the whole story to life .
. . A thoughtful and enjoyable read.' TOM GRUBER, co-creator of
Siri 'The baton of disruption has been passed from the smart phone
to voice, and Vlahos helps make sense of this tectonic shift.'
SCOTT GALLOWAY, author of The Four 'Voice computing is
revolutionising the way we interact with our devices. Talk to Me
offers a road map showing how we got to this point and the
opportunities and risks that lie ahead.' MARTIN FORD, author of The
Rise of the Robots 'Well researched and reported, written by
someone with a deep understanding of the tech itself.' NEW YORK
TIMES 'James Vlahos has written an excellent book on how voice
computing has become more and more of a growing presence in our
everyday world.' RAY KURZWEIL, author of The Singularity Is Near
