Om Malik did a great on-stage interview (as he always does!) of Ben Medlock, CTO at SwiftKey, and Tim Tuttle, CEO, Expect Labs. Check out these two companies — I wish I could type fast enough to cover their insights! (Maybe their technologies can help?)

Here’s how Gigaom billed this session in the program: “Despite the hard work that goes into building systems for deep learning and other methods of understanding human language, users might never know they’re powering their favorite apps. And that’s kind of the point. Hear how voice and text messaging services are learning to predict what users will say to deliver a seamless experience.”

Tuttle especially had some fascinating comments. He said it will only be about six years until we smartphone users have a terabyte on our device! “That changes the game.” No lie — talk about the smartphone as brain…
