The pace of innovation continues at break-neck speed, with each new innovation coming to market faster and disrupting industries that have been around for decades.
And we are at an inflection point with one such disruptive technology: Voice. Voice recognition has existed for years with varying levels of success. By now, we’ve all had the frustrating experience of interacting with interactive voice response (IVR) systems on the telephone.
More recently, voice technologies like Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Home have made their way into our personal lives, helping us find directions, turning on the lights in our home, and playing our favorite music simply by using our voice.
The success of voice-enabled personal assistants is ushering in the next disruption in business computing: Voice User Interface or VUI.
During this presentation, Chris Martinez will present case studies of how conversational user interfaces and chatbots are disrupting the project world. The discussion will focus on how voice recognition is been used in organizations, and how VUI has exploded in popularity over recent years.
