- More Human-like Help: examples such as A.I chat bots and other virtual assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home
- Siri – And Other Tech – Will Hear You Better: advancement in conversational technology where emotional sensitivity will be recognized and even translational functions to provide seamless communication between languages
- Smart Automation Continues: continued growth in retail product delivery, machine maintenance, energy conservation, and personalized marketing experience
