Siri Co-Creator Ponders the Future of the ‘Her’ Operating System | Variety

Author bio-blurb: "Dag Kittlaus is co-founder and former CEO of Siri, which he sold to Apple in 2010. He has seen “2001: A Space Odyssey” seven times."

"In “Her,” Samantha is a 100% computer intelligence interacting with, getting to know and ultimately creating a strong emotional bond with Theodore. To do this, Samantha needs to not just completely convince Theo that she’s almost human, but also literally charm his pants off. In order to pull this off — and continue to rake in subscription fees — Samantha needs to understand the vast spectrum of elements that make up emotion, conversation and even the ability to observe and share in the world around her. That’s no small feat in the world of smart software"
