we'll all be boring people, which means siri will be the most interesting person. we asked our community, in future of artificial intelligence, could you imagine dating your siri? we wouldn't last. our communication styles are incompatible. she never listens to me. taylor on facebook says, if it's a robot, i.e., a computer then reason will be all it has first. all you have to do is make is so the suffering the beings is a concern to it, and you have the potential for morality in the robot but the consequences. >> taylor is thinking. >> it's smart. >> piloting planes, diagnosing illnesses and making ethical decisions on the battlefield, those are dutyies that required trained and talented individuals. what if i told you the trained robots are up for the same kind of challenges? >> according to researchers artificial intelligence is advancing so rapidly that in some cases you can't tell whether you deal with a human being or computer. recently programmers rocked the artificial intelligence world by creating a super computer that passed the turning test. the test meas

are going to realize that there's not just siri in there, we have google now we have viv which has been spun out, have now created this new twin agent called viv, and they are hoping to have her online by the end of this year. so these are going to be some amazing competitions. but opens up a lot of questions about who owns the data and how much control do you have over it, is it you or the marketers and what is the privacy level and how much are you going to let this record some tis linguist know if i have a recording of who yaw said, with the phone listening in, a wearable phone, and let's say the end of this decade, is listening in to everything you are saying and it has two years worth of wash. >> that's too much. >> that's scary. >> is right. >> once it has a map of all the things you have said, and your blog, anyone has email with a blogger who doesn't know it, right so it is

for example siri is a bot. right? and it's designed to let us interact with it. it's designed in a sense to be a partner, not to be a master, not to be a slave. and i think we have to actually think about that carefully. we have an opportunity to design these machines with which we're going to be interacting not only like siri but they're starting to move around and you know, we're going to be interacting with them as they walk around our environment. >> but do we want that necessarily? like for example, ucsf hospital now there are robots going up and down the halls. i don't know what they're doing. delivering pills or sheets. >> all of the above. >> tell him the example of what you saw at the stanford golf course. >> this is -- so i parked at the stanford golf course a morning probably seven months ago and a woman pulled up next to me in a tesla. and she pulled her golf cart out and set it up. and then she walked away and the golf cart followed her. and my jaw hit the ground. but then of course i googled it. and you can have a robotic golf cart for 1,795. i mean

that is no different than what happens with google, or with apple, with siri.s the objection how good of a job they are doing anonymizing the data? that is a perfectly legitimate concern. i think privacy advocates -- samsung has done a great job of this -- have modeled the argument. what are we objecting to? it is not clear to me. the objection is not that somehow devices in our homes can act on voice commands. if that is the objection, people should go back to living in a cave. cory: there was some time between voice command tv's and caves. julia, is the ultimate issue that companies have to think about the anonymous asian of this data? or is -- anonymous asian -- ano nymization of this data? or will they at some point not be able to collect this? julia: i would like to correct something paul said. the issue is not anonymity. it is not the use of new technologies. i think the real issue is over collection. and not careful planning. so companies that do not know what you say are going to put to data they collect should not be over collecting in this way. cory:

paul: and apple had these issues around siri's voice data.hen does it become fully is -- fully disconnected? is there a randomized i.d. connected to users? it is a broad term, and i do not know what it means. the notion of overcorrection. you listen because you are not exactly sure where in your user statement the actual command resigns. people do not speak in these kinds of barked out "turn on watch bloomberg." people do not want to talk like that. devices have to listen to a whole set of expressions. if that constitutes the boundary -- when that becomes overharvesting, when you introduce natural language interfaces, we are kind of screwed. you will not be able to say anything that is not more complex than turn on, turn off which is a sort of nonsensical position to take. cory: i think this is going to be interesting. i think about tv's and hotel -- tvs in hotel rooms. there is an interesting story. it affects a lot of companies and a lot of important people. thank you very much. well, alibaba investing $590 million to become a major player

like apple's siri in physical form. we have the ceo and also the robot, very lovely.t does this robot do exactly? >> sure. thank you for having me here. so basically i i have a maya have basic sensors. melissa: here name is maya? >> okay. melissa: i could probably name anything i want. i spent whatever it is 1000, to 20,000 bucks for -- 2,000 bucks. >> she can remember your face and optics around here. she can detect speech and say. move around autonomously. by combining those things she can perform very complex tasks. melissa: can you do something with her. >> she is wearing microphone. so i guess she is ready to go. >> i show you a couple features. melissa: okay, go ahead. >> read story to kids. >> and the princess followed the deer toward the enchanted. melissa: okay. well that is pretty cool, except my ipad can do that. why do i need her to do that? >> so i think, between kid and ipad different between interaction between kid and robot. talking to a person now. i'm reading story and changes light color of the room. melissa: she can sense what is going on? patrol y
