For years, the artificial intelligence (AI) race has revolved around one question: who can build the biggest and smartest model? Companies have poured billions of dollars into developing more powerful systems, while researchers have competed on benchmark scores that measure an AI model's capabilities. But the next phase of AI may not be decided by computing power alone. Instead, it could be shaped by something much simpler, how naturally people can interact with technology.
According to Dheemanth Reddy Bhumireddy SingaReddy , Co-founder and CEO of Maya Research, the industry's focus is gradually moving away from technical achievements towards making AI useful for everyday users. In his view, the real breakthrough will come when people can simply speak to technology instead of typing commands or navigating complicated apps.
