AI or SI? 'I mean, there’s different names for it,' says Ring's Jamie Siminoff, as the company launches an 'AI Pilot' for its home-surveillance drone
Ring launched its new Ring Drone Cam with its cloud-based AI Pilot, so we had questions for the CEO about which term Ring would be using going forward: 'AI' or 'SI'?
Ring has recently launched an AI Pilot for its home-surveillance drone, though CEO Jamie Siminoff emphasized that this does not signify a long-term commitment to the term "artificial intelligence." The company's struggle to deliver a functional drone led them to adopt cloud AI as the solution. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has proposed renaming "artificial intelligence" to "superintelligence," a change that has prompted major tech companies like Google, Meta, and Nvidia to adopt the new term.
However, Amazon, Ring's parent company, remains unclear on the issue. Despite the President's executive order, there is no consensus on whether the tech industry should adopt the new term. Ring CEO Siminoff stated that the company has named the AI Pilot and has no plans to change its name, though he acknowledged that the landscape could change in the future.
