“full stop” and “comma” gets tedious. Edge AI could
recognize our vocal patterns, so when we pause a
certain way it adds a period, or if we change out
inflection it adds a question mark.
Let’s go a step further. Say you’re texting with a
friend and they ask about seeing a movie. That could
trigger Siri to quietly suggest upcoming show times
inside your conversation. Or if you copy a link in Safari,
a smart suggestion could instantly present a series of
apps before you even press the share button. These are
the kinds of things Apple would never do in the cloud- that whole what-happens-on-your-iPhone-stays-on-
your-iPhone thing – but by using Edge AI, Apple could
bring those kinds of interactions to the iPhone itself,
which opens up Siri to a new world of capabilities.
And if it’s learning on the device, then it could
know what app we’re in and respond accordingly.
So if we’re in Photos, we could say, “Share this with
my wife” and it wouldn’t need any extra clarification.
Or if we’re reading a news article in Safari, we could
say, “Tell me more about this,” and it would make the
appropriate search. Or maybe an automatic routine
could be suggested based on our app habits.
Bottom line: there’s a lot the Siri doesn’t quite know
how to do, and Xnor.ai’s Edge AI engine could help
teach it. All while keeping Apple’s privacy promise
intact. Unfortunately for Wyze cam owners, Xnor’s
Edge Ai system has been yanked, but their loss could
be Siri’s gain.
