The following inventions may seem strangely innovative now, but chances are they'll become commonplace in the near future. AI made these possible.

The Post Gazette reports of recent in-car developments; CMU Work Aims to Change Relationship Between Vehicle, Driver. Hand gestures can be used to control CD play, for example. The Italians may have some trouble with their latest Pavarotti compilation!

In the NY Times, an article discusses the application of voice recognition to animals -- Translating a Dog's Bark: Man vs. Machine. It's more of a toy than anything else. I'm curious whether they had to censor dirty thought ("That's a hot b*tch").

BBC News discusses Text Messaging for the Blind. The idea is to send messages to a handheld computer, which reads the text out loud. Great & useful application of AI.

The National Post has a feature on smart homes evolving into complex machines; Hal, Turn on the Hall Light. It discusses the many things that make it smart, notably the interaction with humans.
