What if YOU were the next Alexa or Siri?

Imagine it is the year 2050 and that with your authorization, a quantum computer has stored and analyzed 20+ years of your daytime voice recordings. It can then create a Personal Assistant with your voice. At the basic level, it could reuse your voice and tell anyone the weather forecast, control smart home devices, play music, set reminders, and search for any information from the world wide web. But what if, at an advanced level, it could answer any question the way you would respond.

AI is ready and willing; are humans?

Many humans enjoy Artificial Intelligence personally at home – ranging from just-for-you movie recommendations on Netflix to product recommendations on Amazon. On the contrary, most humans don’t use AI professionally at work. AI-based recommendations are powerful and personalized for you, so why hasn’t it become an everyday phenomenon at work? What if, with your permission and oversight, AI could automatically do your repetitive tasks? What if AI suggested the answer for your next business email reply? What if AI could suggest solutions for your complex work problems based on decades of data from billions of humans and projects?
