Ikea,Poor Things what in the name of eftersökt are you planning?!
The design store's "external future-living lab," called Space10, recently released an online survey that asks respondents what they want from an artificially intelligent assistant.
SEE ALSO: The Ikea shopping bag madness continues. This time with a hat."Do we, for instance, prefer talking to a machine, or do we rather want it to be more human-like?" asks a woman's voice in a short animated introduction to the survey. "Should it have a human personality, so it can be friendly, funny or impatient? Do we want our technology to grow up with us?"
The survey also asks whether this AI should have the same basic beliefs as the human(s) it interacts with, whether it should gather data, and more. The questions probe how much importance respondents place on privacy, and whether people want their AI to shut up and listen or challenge them a bit.
IKEA has been as vague as possible about how the company plans to apply these answers to its future products, furniture or otherwise. For now, the survey's "about" page describes the whole thing as "playful research."
Who knows — maybe one day soon, you'll walk into your kitchen and have a conversation with your fridge, your coffee machine, and your dishwasher.
