- 10:32How to make AI and influence people | Sungjoo Yoon | TEDxBostonIn the age of artificial intelligence, it is not yet clear which form factors will best translate these massive advancements into winning consumer products. However, the past century of consumer technology give us a strong hint: the more information that an interface can solicit from an individual user, the greater the product quality for all of its users. This truism, coined in this talk as the "preference principle", gives us a clue into which applications of artificial intelligence will be most useful, widespread, and popular in the distant future.
