In a groundbreaking Research published by the Teresian Journal of English Studies, Sayan delves into the enthralling journey of Virtual Assistants (VA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), tracing their origins from the imaginative realm of science fiction to the tangible world of today.
Sayan's meticulous study takes us back to early science fiction novels from the 1940s, where the concept of Virtual Assistants and AI first emerged as a visionary idea. It was not until 1994 that this vision transformed into reality, paving the way for the rise of virtual assistants to simplify human lives and elevate our experiences.
Examining the transformation of Virtual Assistants, Sayan scrutinizes their shift from a romanticized and idealistic form, akin to Pygmalion's Spectacles, to their responsive and experiential presence in contemporary works such as Asimov's I, Robot. Furthermore, the study explores Japan's pioneering Gatebox Project and Louis Rosenberg's thought-provoking SF graphic novel, Upgrade, where Virtual Assistants have become deeply integrated into society, profoundly impacting and transforming human lives.
As Virtual Assistants evolve to interact with our world physically, Sayan's research provides valuable insights into the profound impact of this revolutionary technology. From science fiction to real-life applications, this study sheds light on the astonishing journey of Virtual Assistants and their ever-increasing influence in shaping the course of human progress.
