Winner
Siri’s headstart over the competition gave it the edge to become the best AI assistant among its peers. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s AI technology has come a long way from its buggy origins in 2011. And with ample time to iron out the kinks compared to its newer rivals, Siri can lay claim to the title of being the best AI around.
But…
AI development is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. The technology that once started as the room-size computer that beat a grandmaster at chess has transformed into something you can be handheld in just two decades. Each company has its inherent advantages for further developing their AI assistants. Google has good-to-great apps combined with its inexhaustible supply of information powered by its main search engine. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has always been a design pioneer, and it can come up with more user-friendly functions for Siri. Imagine what Alexa can do when it is unleashed on smartphones, or what Cortana can solve by linking systems as disparate as Xbox, LinkedIn, and PC.
(We have not even mentioned Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) yet, whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently made headlines after revealing an AI assistant he himself coded for his home. Whenever he decides to build on that and create a consumer-facing product, Facebook will be ready.)
