Apifonica Keynote: What programmable telecom has to do with the imminent death of user interface as we know it
Jouni Huotari, Director of Partnerships, Apifonica
There is no such a thing as a good user interface. It has always been a compromise between the limited possibilities of the machine and the comfort of its user. It is almost time to stop adapting ourselves to machines. Advances in AI, speech recognition and programmable telecom tech will make user interface as we know it today, obsolete soon. Apps, web, keyboards will lose their current importance.
Natural language will become the principal mean of communication with electronic services, devices.
The most “human”, natural means of communication - voice and texting - should become essential in any electronic service or connected device; developers should start incorporating it now, to be ready for the future and start gaining experience.
APIs, Apifonica included, provide a quick start to incorporate messaging and voice functionality into any electronic service or connected device, for a developer with 0 experience in telecom tech.
Upcoming API updates that suit this vision

10. A cruel and ferocious
predator
Polygamous: a male
will mate with several
females.
One of the few
predators (other than
humans) that tends to
kill more then than they
can immediately eat
They hide the remainder
of their kill and mark it
with urine
Interesting only to few
scientist, others
consider it a cute animal
THE WOLVERINE
12. 10 IF people can build a machine that
is more intelligent than people
20 THEN machine can build a machine
that is more intelligent than
machine
30 GOTO 20
SINGULARITY
17. THE HUMAN
Mildly interesting
lifeform
Somewhat intelligent
mammal
Lives in communes
called cities
Contrary to the
wolverine, does not
mark it’s territory with
urine
(except on Fridays)
Interesting only from
a few AI scientist,
others don’t care
API’s, user interfaces and how artificial intelligence might change that in the future.
