Engineers and manufacturers have been working to automate the homebuilding process for years, and some startups have already released prototypes of their designs. Until this year, however, nobody has lived in any of these prototypes. This summer, a five-person family in France became the first to permanently live in a 3D-printed home. The 1,022-square-foot home, part of the "Yhnova" project, is located in Nantes.  Below, take a look at the building's construction process and photos of other startups' designs for 3D-printed homes. Yhnova was printed in 54 hours, and contractors spent the next four months adding windows, doors, and the roof. The home was developed by University of Nantes researchers.  According to BBC , they believe the next 3D-printed home could be built in 33 hours. Construction of the building cost about $232,000, which is 20% cheaper than a similarly sized building would usually cost, BBC reported. The University of Nantes teamed up with

Voice assistants like Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant, Apple's Siri, and Microsoft's Cortana, are pegged to trigger a widespread transformation across the retail industry in the years to come. The current interest in, and adoption of, voice assistants for commerce is being driven by recent technological breakthroughs, advantages of the tech over existing channels, and the development of voice apps. As consumer demand for voice technology mounts, brands offering this functionality throughout the entire customer journey stand to gain in three key ways.

IBM has its sights on AI for enterprise,  an area where few of the challengers has anywhere near the same amount of experience.  There's a high-stakes race among the biggest tech companies, from Google to Amazon, to carve out turf in the burgeoning artificial intelligence market.
