Gen AI voice interfaces promise new forms of tech despite adoption challenges
powered by its Gemini LLM, can also pull off similar features on Android smartphones that natively support its AI models.Industry stakeholders believe that the move can lead to new gadget ecosystems and product styles. Kashyap Kompella, AI industry analyst and founder of consultancy firm RPA2AI Research, said that the rise of generative AI voice interfaces could play a role in commercially available robots.
“The rise of commercial robots with which you can speak in natural speech is an area that is likely to develop within the next decade. Enterprise robots are likely to develop first, followed by home accessibility robots that generative AI models could enable with speech," Kompella said.Others believe that while voice interfaces could grow thanks to multimodal AI running locally on devices, this will form a part of a broader, more complex user interface.
Tuong Nguyen, director analyst at Gartner, said that while voice interfaces “will increase in usefulness and popularity, the bigger story is multimodality and contextual interfaces—which means voice alongside natural language understanding combined with image analysis."For many companies, voice is a way to tie interfaces together into a seamless ecosystem. At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference on 10 June, the company’s showcase of AI included the ability to interoperate features and solutions across various applications.
