  • Personification and Ontological Categorization of Smart Speaker-Based Voice Assistants by Older Adults
    “Phantom Friend” or “Just a Box with Information”: Personification and Ontological Categorization of Smart Speaker-based Voice Assistants by Older Adults ALISHA PRADHAN, University of Maryland, College Park, USA LEAH FINDLATER, University of Washington, USA AMANDA LAZAR, University of Maryland, College Park, USA As voice-based conversational agents such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant move into our homes, researchers have studied the corresponding privacy implications, embeddedness in these complex social environments, and use by specific user groups. Yet it is unknown how users categorize these devices: are they thought of as just another object, like a toaster? As a social companion? Though past work hints to human- like attributes that are ported onto these devices, the anthropomorphization of voice assistants has not been studied in depth. Through a study deploying Amazon Echo Dot Devices in the homes of older adults, we provide a preliminary assessment of how individuals 1) perceive having social interactions with the voice agent, and 2) ontologically categorize the voice assistants. Our discussion contributes to an understanding of how well-developed theories of anthropomorphism apply to voice assistants, such as how the socioemotional context of the user (e.g., loneliness) drives increased anthropomorphism. We conclude with recommendations for designing voice assistants with the ontological category in mind, as well as implications for the design of technologies for social companionship for older adults. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile devices; • Human-centered computing → Personal digital assistants KEYWORDS Personification; anthropomorphism; ontology; voice assistants; smart speakers; older adults.

The theme this year is one of continuity—as evolution rather than stasis. Predictions has been published since 2001. Back in 2009 and 2010, we wrote about the launch of exciting new fourth-generation wireless networks called 4G (aka LTE). A decade later, we’re now making predic- tions about 5G networks that will be launching this year. Not surprisingly, our forecast for the first year of 5G is that it will look a lot like the first year of 4G in terms of units, revenues, and rollout. But while the forecast may look familiar, the high data speeds and low latency 5G provides could spur the evolution of mobility, health care, manufacturing, and nearly every industry that relies on connectivity. In previous reports, we also wrote about 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing). Our tone was posi- tive but cautious, since 3D printing was growing but also a bit overhyped.

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown significant progress and its -po tential is growing. An application area of AI is Natural Language Processing (NLP). Voice as- sistants incorporate AI by using cloud computing and can communicate with the users in natural language. Voice assistants are easy to use and thus there are millions of devices that incorporates them in households nowadays. Most common devices with voice assistants are smart speakers and they have just started to be used in schools and universities. The purpose of this paper is to study how voice assistants and smart speakers are used in everyday life and whether there is potential in order for them to be used for educational purposes. Keywords: artificial intelligence, smart speakers, voice assistants, education. 1. Introduction Emerging technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality and voice interaction are reshaping the way people engage with the world and transforming digital experiences. Voice control is the next evolution of human-machine interaction, thanks to advances in cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). In the last years, the heavy use of smartphones led to the appearance of voice assistants such as Apple’s Siri, Google’s Assistant, Microsoft’s Cortana and Amazon’s Alexa.

Several of these digital audio uses, such as asking questions (Hey Google, what’s the weather?), shopping and purchasing, offer brands the opportunity to build out actions (on Google products) or skills (on Alexa products). Few actions or skills have been created thus far, and for 2020, our SEO team recommends that brands act now to have an early mover advantage.
