  19. Future Opportunities Knowledge as a Service (KaaS)

  20. Near Term Societal Impact of AI Existing AI Technology Can be Used to Empower the 3 Billion People at The Bottom of the Pyramid

  21. Bottom of the Pyramid: 3 Billion People 3 Billion People with Incomes of less than $3 a day The Bottom of The Pyramid is The Largest, But Poorest Socio-economic Group. Globally that is the 3 billion people who live on less than say $2.50 per day. Most of Them Are Also Semi-literate, i.e., Cannot Read, Write and/or Understand Any Language Cannot use Keyboard or Touch based Computing Apps For a Semi-literate Person, the Only Acceptable Mode of Communication is Speech Voice Computing a la Amazon Echo and Enhancements is the Key Personal Assistants that Require Only Speech based Interaction is Essential for Such Populations

  22. Technology Exists to Create Voice-Only Apps Speech to Speech Exists (Microsoft, Facebook and Others) BTW, Current Implementations are Based on Incorrect Business Assumptions Available only for Commercial Languages Will Never Result in Killer Apps English to Chinese Speech to Speech Translation Demonstrated in 2012 Text Based Translate App of 2016 has to become Speech Based Languages Supported Based on Commercial Viability Not Need based Unlikely to result in Killer App Apps Tailored to Semi-literate Populations Will Become Killer Apps 1 Minute Learning Time; Two clicks; and Spoken Dialog All Such Apps Will Require Speech Recognition, Spoken Dialog, and Speech to Speech Translation (No Keyboard or Touch) Speech to Speech Translation Entertainment (Movies) and Education (Khan Academy) Translate Live Dialog QA Dialog (Siri and Cortana) eCommerce and eBanking English Language Learning - Detect Pronunciation Errors

  23. Applications for the Bottom of the Pyramid Voice Computing (No Keyboard or Touch) Can Help The Semi- literate to Read Newspapers, Watch Foreign Language Movies, Listen to Khan Academy Lectures, Vote Online and Order Groceries Online A Mobile App for Entertainment and Education Dynamic Real-time Translation of a Video Dialog from English to Telugu Text to Speech App for Newspaper Reading Assistant Enabling Digital Democracy Vote Online (Authentication, Authorization and Audit) Ecommerce and eBanking Voice Authentication, Authorization and Audit Learning Without a Teacher Tutor for Listening and Speaking English Illiterate Populations Will be the Biggest Source of Customers for Speech Based Apps in the Future

  24. Typical Apps for the Semi-literate: NextGen Siri and Alexa An Intelligent Agent That Anticipates What You Want To Do And Helps You To Do It Using Local Language and Clarification Dialog Entertainment and Education: Streaming Video Translation Alexa play Hamlet (BBC Shakespeare) Reading Newspapers: Text to Speech Translation and/or Synthesis Alexa read China Daily Buying and Selling: Voice Dialog Management Alexa order usual brand Rice, Meat and Vegetables Communication: Voice and/or Video Email, Chat Alexa call my Grandson in Shanghai Banking: Monitor Bank account, Pay Bills Alexa charge my mobile device with 1000 rupees Online Voting Voice Dialog to enable the Authorization, Authentication and Audit Semi-literate Populations Will be the Biggest Source of Customers for Speech Based Apps in the Future Resulting Doubling of Net Users and Quadrupling of Economic Activity

  25. AI : Near term Future (2 to 3 Years) Cognition Amplifiers That Enhance Human Capabilities Do Tasks Faster and with Less Effort

  26. Cognition Amplifiers in Service of Society A Cognition Amplifier (COG) is an Intelligent Agent that anticipates what you want to do and helps you to do it Cognition Amplifiers Enhance Human Capabilities Do Tasks Faster and with Less Effort A Cognition Amplifier (COG) is a Personal Enduring Autonomic Intelligent Agent that Anticipates what you want to do and does it Always On, Always Working, Always Learning 26

  27. Examples of COGs in Service of Society COGs personalized and mass customized agents as part of Knowledge as a Service (KaaS) may be Used by Everyone on the Planet for tasks such as Buying and selling: Transact with multiple providers Email: Filter spam, understand and respond to actionable email News: Based on topic preferences, novelty, collaborative filtering Banking: Monitor bank account, Credit Cards, Pay Bills Travel: Flights, hotel, schedule disruptions, cancellations Each Person May Have Thousands of Cogs as Personal Assistants

  28. AI: Longer Term Future (5 to 10 Years) Guardian Angels That Enable Humans to Do Tasks They Cannot Do Today. Super-Human AI?

  29. Guardian Angels in Service of Society Discover and Warn Humans About Unanticipated Events Impacting Safety, Security, and Happiness Guardian Angels Enable Humans to Do Tasks They Cannot Now Do. Super-Human AI? A Guardian Angel (GAT) is a Personal Enduring Autonomic Intelligent Agent Always On, Always Working, Always Learning 29

  30. GATs in Service of Society GATs are personalized and mass customized agents as part of KaaS for Just-in-Time Warnings: Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Extreme Weather Act as Coach in Health and Education Matters Accident Alerts and Rerouting; Transport Strikes Scarcity of Essential Resources: Food, Energy, Water etc. Assume Everyone on the Planet has Personalized Guardian Angels (GATs)

  31. Personalization and Customization of Guardian Angels Cloud Based Guardian Angel Platform Linked to User Smart Phone Learning Learn by Watching Learn by being taught Learn by doing Learn by asking others Learn by discovery Security Multimodal authentication Continuous authentication Encryption Dialog Self Healing Detect errors Resolve errors Big Data Management Process, index, story and retrieve data Mine, Cluster, and Summarize relevant experience With humans With other agents Power Mgmt Activity Monitoring Multi-Sensor Integration Autonomic Systems Etc. Family of Personalized Guardian Angels Subscribe to Local, National and Global Sources and Act on Relevant Information

  32. KaaS Publish/Subscribe Eco System of Guardian Angel Global Infrastructure Platform Activity Monitoring and Intention Awareness User Guardian Angels Cloud Based User Infrastructure Platform Knowledge Source Publishers Global, National and Local Knowledge Source Distributors ReTweet Model Global DataBase of Humankind

  33. In the Future AI will Enable KaaS Human Machine Augmented Intelligence AI and KaaS Will Become the Backbone of Emerging Industries Technology, Tools, and Techniques of KaaS will be the Main Activity of AI Sub-Human Level AI >>> Human Level AI >>> Super Human AI We have a million times more computing power than 1980s! By 2040, We Will Have Million Times More Computing Power Million Times More Memory Million Times More Band Width As McCarthy Said in 1980, We May Need 1.7 Einsteins, 3 Maxwells and 0.7 Manhattan project to get to Super Human AI
