After reading about ZeroUI I thought about Smart Homes as I had an Amazon Echo at home. I don’t really use it, but I can definitely see it being much more commonplace as it connects to different home appliances. I look forward to a home where everything is interconnected as I think it will reduce a lot of the time people waste on trivial things and let people make more of their time.
This is not in the presentation, but there is a Black Mirror episode about using copies of people’s consciousness to run Smart Homes. While they focus on ethical issues (which wouldn’t be relevant for AI) I think it’s still interesting to think about how much we value convenience. That snippet, in my opinion, is more about how detached we are from a literal copy as ourselves just because we view it as code — not real.
