I believe the browser and AI will slowly meld into some new form. I don't believe we can fully get away from the browser, yet I can see were AI can lend it's self to helping create a slimmer, faster web browsing experience. There are people who due to disabilities are unable to use voice activated systems, at least at there current state. I can imagine a browser that is fully voice controlled in the very near future, but we will need some form of browser to view and interact with that information, and for the people unable to interact with the voice system.
While I have never used Siri or Cortana, I can see the appeal of the hands free, voice activated interface. With voice recognition continuing to improve, and the success of cloud technology, I feel this technology will become more and more apart of our daily lives. What is a cute trick you can do on your phone or tablet now, will soon become deeply integrated into all of our tech. They make refrigerators that text you when you are low on something, soon our all of our appliances will be able to interact with us in many new and helpful ways. Now while, I have been known to bash on the IoT, I think if this technology is done correctly it can really be a great tool for all of us. On the other hand it could be a disaster if not done correctly. As I have stated in previous posts, security and the users well being needs to come first. No one will want any kind of technology, no matter how "cool" it is, if they know there is a chance there being spied on, or in some way them, or there families safety is in danger. We also need to take a serious look at the infrastructures of our ISP's. They were not designed for users to have so many devices and are slow to catch up to the demand that end users are putting on the systems. When ipv4 was invented no one imagined we would be running out of IP's yet now we are scrambling to implement ipv 6. All of our nations ISP's are dealing with not only this conversion, but there quickly filling pipelines. Systems designed for 1 maybe 2 computers per house are now seeing 20+ devices per house and on top of that many of these devices are streaming, something unheard of when many of these systems were designed. No matter how many products we create, no matter how far we take AI or any other tech, it will only be as good as out aging infrastructure will allow it too work.
