The next step would seem to be to have AI connect with us via a human face interface. We've been focused on faces when we communicate for millions of years, and before we were even human. Faces are a big deal, the next big turning point.
It's long been possible to animate a face image with audio. The challenge seems to be doing it at scale over the Internet.
More discussion of this would be most welcome. As best I can tell, this seems sort of a neglected topic.
