Noelle LaCharite Talks the Future of A.I. and Voice Technology
Noelle LaCharite is the former technical program lead for Amazon's Alexa. She sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith at the eTail conference in Palm Springs to talk all about voice technology and where A.I. is going as the technology continues to develop.
LaCharite acknowledges that A.I. has become a huge part of people's everyday lives and will just continue to become more enhanced and smarter as the technology continues to grow. Voice technology has become the norm with assistants like Apple’s Siri, Samsung’s Bixby, Microsoft’s Cortana and Google’s Assistant, but explains that Alexa has always been on the forefront of voice technology and will continue to be a lead innovator.
Luke Larsen, senior editor at Digital Trends, joins Cheddar News to discuss the largest tech convention in the world, CES, kicking off in Las Vegas this week.
Renewable energy company Heliogen has gone public via a SPAC merger with blank check company Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. on the NYSE. Joining Cheddar, founder and CEO Bill Gross went into why he felt the end of 2021 was the best time to get into the public markets. "If you think of the Industrial Revolution and the digital revolution, this renewable revolution is probably going to be as big or larger than that," he said. "So we're going to use this capital to scale our business, to meet more customer demand, to do more projects in parallel, and to scale our research and development to continue to drive down the price to be competitive with fossil fuels."
