Among variety products that are developed using the AI technology, AI speaker is gaining attention as a major product and shows rapid growth in consumer IoT (Internet of Things) market. Unlike the rapid growth and attention in the market, consumer satisfaction of AI speaker is low. Low satisfaction level is the important factor to ultimately end the usage of AI speaker.
