'Samsung has agreed to acquire Viv, an AI and assistant system co-founded by Dag Kittlaus, Adam Cheyer and Chris Brigham — who created Siri, which was acquired by Apple in 2010. '
'Utilizing “breakthroughs” in program synthesis, Viv says its AI is capable of writing its own code to accomplish new tasks. '
'Viv will continue to operate as an independent company that will provide services to Samsung and its platforms. '
'That’s what we’ve been doing for the last four years.”If, in fact, Samsung is looking to go beyond just “adding an AI assistant” to its platforms, there are plenty of signals to see here. '
'If Samsung wants (duh) a competitor in this space, it could do worse than Viv and its team. '
