Did you see Magic Leap’s presentation of their #Mica 3D animated avatar at this week's L.E.A.P. event? Very interesting approach, a human-like #AI powered avatar in #augmentedreality. Looks very appealing to me. Lot's of exciting innovation in ML's pipe! https://t.co/c8xRGNHyQa pic.twitter.com/iKB07En1oE

I love #GoogleDuplex coming to #Pixel3. It's call screening will crush telemarketers on the one hand and offer an awesome convenience to users in everyday life. Didn't you ever dream of your personal assistant taking calls for you & preparing transcripts? https://t.co/W7iecsEDAG pic.twitter.com/4KkwLUqqfs

Promising news from #Essentialphone. Planning new smartphone that's highly augmented by AI, prioritizing voice interactions to control the device rather than visual/touch ones. Do you want your phone to text on your behalf? Because that's what it would do! https://t.co/pqqRg2oCY4 pic.twitter.com/gCtKARzFKJ

Interesting deal #Apple is going for: acquiring Dialog Semiconductor for $600mn to stack up power management, audio subsystem and charging tech. Seems to me that most of their deals are eyeing to help w/ glasses and/or cars projects in the next few years. https://t.co/ygE0UNIDlM pic.twitter.com/Uddoz2nDjM
