According to Business Insider, “65% of U.S. smartphone owners were employing voice assistants in 2015, up significantly from 30% just two years prior. Consumers are also eagerly adopting speaker-based voice assistants, with shipments of Google Home and Amazon Echo speakers expected to climb more than threefold to 24.5 million in 2017.” With such a great number of people using voice assistants presently and the many improvements that are sure to come in the near future, these already-staggering statistics are sure to continue to see impressive and steady growth.

There are certain “technological shortcomings preventing voice assistants from hitting their true potential,” notes Business Insider.

But as they exist today, most would argue that AI voice assistants are pretty darn amazing. And if the companies that create and build them realize and improve upon these said “shortcomings,” the newer versions will be sure to give users even more bang for their buck with technological capabilities beyond our wildest imaginations.
