Interacting with a responsive virtual assistant instead of a robotic one builds more meaningful connections with customers.
To do this, AI-powered assistants must learn to empathize with the people using them. Voca.ai, an Israel-based company, is training conversational virtual agents to understand human dialogue with the help of a speech-to-intent algorithm.
In this video, Voca.ai's former VP of Marketing talks about the company's work in developing responsive systems that sound realistic and lifelike:

"Voice is inherently a very powerful medium that humans have been using to communicate since the beginning of time. While technology has made it faster, better, and cheaper, there's now a new factor at play that has to be considered, and that is emotional intelligence."
As voice becomes a must-have for businesses, Joti Balani, Founder & Managing Director of Freshriver.ai encourages us to rethink the human-machine voice interface in order to bring it out of infancy and into adulthood.
Hear more on shaping the human experience in conversational AI by keeping diversity, ethics, empathy, and equity in mind.

Jeff Adams, Founder & CEO, Cobalt Speech and Language, certainly agrees with that. He said that if we look back 12 years, we didn't have smartphones, we didn't have personal assistants, some of the key tools in our machine learning box have not been developed or applied to speech.
And at that point, if we were to predict the future, we would have been completely wrong for many things. According to Jeff, the future is still in our blind spot, but this makes it an adventure.

According to the World Health Organization, about 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability.
Kiran Kaja, the Accessibility Lead for Google Assistant, knows, first-hand, that “technology can have a profound impact on improving lives of people with disabilities. . . [and] opens up opportunities and access to information users with disabilities may not otherwise have.”
Digital assistants, in particular, are instrumental in allowing people to live more independent lives. For Kiran, it’s the little things….like setting the temperature in his home.
