It seems that we are in an age where AI is all around us.\u00a0We have smart speakers in our homes, AI engines in our phones, and now our cars are even starting to drive themselves autonomously. It is all becoming a bit 1984-like<\/a>, just without the evil authoritarian vibes.<\/p>\n

I am quite pleased to see that we are all embracing the use of AI in our lives as it can, and does if implemented correctly, make things\u00a0easier. \"CESI have used an Amazon Echo Dot for the past few months and, whilst it is very good at interacting with voice input and feedback, I want a bit more. Now, obviously Amazon is aware of this, which is why they launched Echo Show a few months back. This is an awesome bit of kit. It does have one flaw though, in that it has not got the ability to show you Youtube videos.\u00a0This is due to an ongoing dispute between Google and Amazon, which they just need to get over. If you are wanting this or you are predominantly a Google user then you have been stuffed until now.<\/p>\n

\"CESAt CES this year we saw an abundance of Google assistant\u00a0devices being launched with displays. Whilst these have not been launched by Google themselves, it is a venture being fully supported by Google.<\/p>\n

It is part of the reason that Google’s presence at CES this year was so vast. we have seen a few devices come out so far from Lenovo and also from LG.<\/p>\n
