Gujarat-Born Samsung Executive Built The World's First Human Interface For Machines

You may still remember Pranav Mistry, born in Gujarat, who created the gesture-based Sixth Sense interface tech. He was also recently appointed to be the CEO and President of the STAR Labs at Samsung, responsible for overseeing the firm’s new research in new products and technology.

At CES 2020, he unveiled Neon, which he says is the first human interface in the world for machines.

Previously, the Korean giant took an attempt with the AI assistant trend by developing Bixby, but that was a miserable failure. However, with Neon, the company aims to revolutionize the role of AI in people’s lives.

Neon is an artificial being generate from computing, which means a human created by Neon is created by a computer. Though these humans can look similar to some real people, they aren’t based on any certain faces.

In a recent interview, Pranav Mistry said that he and Samsung want to push the current boundaries of science to turn machine interfaces into something more like humans. He said that would solve many problems as well as open up opportunities that didn’t exist before. He added that many businesses were coming to Samsung for Neon, including fashion, film, and media companies.

Mistry feels that currently, technology doesn’t have a face, posing potential challenges if users want to make it impactful, customized, and personal. So, Neon is meant to solve this problem, serving as a companion for old people, as well as those who are lonely, and other industries that need a human touch.

He also stressed that there will be rules for guiding the development and implementation of artificial intelligence in the real world.
