The Road to Macworld gets a talking to by Steve Sande, who will be delivering the Siri’s Arms and Legs: Giving Apple’s Intelligent Assistant the Power to Control Your World session. Not content with just telling Siri what to do in his book, Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple’s Intelligent Assistant, Steve will be covering how Siri can help you give verbal commands to the growing list of Internet-enabled physical devices. But there’s a secret, and Steve won’t reveal it until his session, so you’ll have to come to find out. Steve talks about the security issues that come with these capabilities, and why you may want to let Siri have a voice in controlling your world.
