How do you keep digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa from jumping into every conversation or reacting to every bit of noise when they should be sleeping? Researchers are refining the answer to that question even as they attempt to broaden the palette of sounds to which Alexa will react. So, they’ve got a big challenge ahead of them. Among the solutions being worked out is analyzing sounds and coding them into ideophones. At that point, it will be just as simple for a digital assistant to properly react to a sound — breaking glass, barking dogs, or alarms sounding — as it is to a wake word.
