II. AI Interfaces Are Changing

Yoshi Yokokawa, CEO & Co-Founder at Alpaca, believes AI interfaces are moving closer to the world imagined in Her: "If you think about the movie Her, the human interaction with the system becomes completely voice." "The user experience is what matters, regardless of whether it's visual, voice, or something else." He argues that the winners won't necessarily be the companies with the best interfaces, but the ones that master the overall experience. "Even though we can see where the world is going, we don't know how quickly it will be adopted." "I think we have to be realistic about how long it takes, but eventually we'll get to a world where everyone is interacting with AI and agents."
