“Who said machines learn from humans , humans can also learn from machines ? All our daily interactions with the machines can be harnessed into learning”That was the idea of the CEO of HOWDUINO jaknap.

When some unexpected glitch in the system was over looked. The system was supposed to have emotional intelligence and smart to analyze the mood of the user and change the difficulty of learning accordingly . But due to a null error in the programming the AI started overlooking the emotional condition of user .

A few months ago a smart wall-e kiosk was smashed into pieces , and the number of such incidents have risen exponentially .The company tried its best to blame it on some rebels who didn’t want the change , later on it was confirmed that regular users were frustrated by the bad timings of the AI teaching them things .

One of the user was open enough to come in the light to share his experience . According to him he lost his wallet and using the information kiosk he was quickly sending an alert to everyone , without his wallet he cant find his way back , being a new comer in the town , language was an issue but the kiosk not only did change the language from English to Gujarati but also increased the difficulty level in the whole process of sending the alert as a result of which the user was frustrated and banged the kiosk , “it was just a moment of frustration he says but it was frustrating , the dumb machine should know when it is a case of emergency”

The CEO has promised an update which will rule out the problem , but this makes us again should we really make AI an integral part of our life .
