At this year’s <\/span>Google I\/O, the company\u2019s annual developer conference and showcase, CEO Sundar Pichai made one thing very clear: Google is moving toward an AI-first approach in its products, which means pretty soon, everything you do on Google will be powered by machine learning.<\/strong> <\/span>During Wednesday\u2019s keynote speech, we saw that approach seep into all of Google\u2019s platforms, from Android to Gmail to Google Assistant, each of which are getting spruced up with new capabilities thanks to AI. Here\u2019s our list of the coolest things Google announced today.<\/p>\n

Google Lens Turns Your Camera Into a Search Box<\/strong> <\/a>— from wired.com by David Pierce<\/p>\n

Excerpt: <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Google is remaking <\/span>itself as an AI company, a virtual assistant company, a classroom-tools company, a VR company, and a gadget maker, but it\u2019s still primarily a search company. And [on 5\/17\/17] at Google I\/O, its annual gathering of developers, CEO Sundar Pichai announced a new product called Google Lens that amounts to an entirely new way of searching the internet: through your camera.<\/p>\n

Lens is essentially image search in reverse: you take a picture, Google figures out what\u2019s in it. This AI-powered computer vision has been around for some time, but Lens takes it much further. If you take a photo of a restaurant, Lens can do more than just say \u201cit\u2019s a restaurant,\u201d which you know, or \u201cit\u2019s called Golden Corral,\u201d which you also know. It can automatically find you the hours, or call up the menu, or see if there\u2019s a table open tonight. If you take a picture of a flower, rather than getting unneeded confirmation of its flower-ness, you\u2019ll learn that it\u2019s an Elatior Begonia, and that it really needs indirect, bright light to survive. It\u2019s a full-fledged search engine, starting with your camera instead of a text box.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s AI Chief On Teaching Computers To Learn\u2013And The Challenges Ahead<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0— from\u00a0fastcompany.com by\u00a0Harry McCracken
\n<\/strong>When it comes to AI technologies such as machine learning, Google\u2019s aspirations are too big for it to accomplish them all itself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we talked about becoming an AI-first company and people weren\u2019t entirely sure what we meant,\u201d he told me. With this year\u2019s announcements, it\u2019s not only understandable but tangible.
\n…
\n\u201cWe see our job as evangelizing this new shift in computing,\u201d Giannandrea says.<\/p>\n

…
\nMatching people with jobs<\/strong>
\nPichai concluded the I\/O keynote by previewing Google for Jobs, an upcoming career search engine that uses machine learning to understand job listings\u2013a new approach that is valuable, Giannandrea says, even though looking for a job has been a largely digital activity for years. \u201cThey don\u2019t do a very good job of classifying the jobs,\u201d Giannandrea says. \u201cIt\u2019s not just that I\u2019m looking for part-time work within five miles of my house\u2013I\u2019m looking for an accounting job that involves bookkeeping.\u201d<\/p>\n
