Abstract

With the technological improvements, smart personal assistants come into prominence in daily lives. In the future, with the improvements of artificial intelligence techniques, it is foreseen that the individual life management will be assisted by smart personal assistants. Today, it is still not likely to say that smart personal assistants have reached their potential. For more efficient use, more technical developments are needed, especially in the natural language processing. In order to that, subjects which need to be improved must be determined based on which challenges are faced. In order to develop more efficient solutions for the problems, fundamental evaluation is necessary for starters. In this work, features of the smart personal assistants are examined and existing applications are referred. For better understanding of what features a smart personal assistant must contain, a literature review is done. In-use features which have to be improved in the future are pointed out. Challenges to overcome and subjects to work for more efficient and widespread use are determined. It is found that anthropomorphism is one of the most important feature that artificial intelligence products must have.

Özet

Teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte, akıllı kişisel asistanların günlük yaşantımızda kullanımı önem kazandı. Gelecekte, yapay zekada tekniklerindeki gelişmelerle birlikte hayat yönetiminin akıllı kişisel asistanlar tarafından asiste edileceği öngörülüyor. Günümüzde hala akıllı kişisel asistanların tam potansiyeline ulaştığını söylemek mümkün değildir. Daha etkin bir kullanım için daha fazla tekniksel gelişmeye ihtiyaç duyuluyor, özellikle doğal dil işleme alanında. Bu nedenle, geliştirilmesi gereken konular karşılaşılan zorluklar bazında tespit edilmelidir. Sorunlara daha etkin çözümler üretmek için, öncelikle bir genel değerlendirme yapılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, akıllı kişisel asistanların özellikleri incelendi ve varolan uygulamalara değinildi. Akıllı kişisel asistanların hangi özellikleri içermesi gerektiğini daha iyi anlamak için literatür taraması yapıldı. Kullanılan ve geliştirilmesi gereken özellikler gösterildi. Aşılması gereken zorluklar ve daha etkin ve yaygın bir kullanım için gerekli özellikler belirlendi. İnsansılık özelliğinin yapay zeka ürünlerinin içermesi gereken en önemli özelliklerden biri olduğu anlaşıldı.
