Google on the Way to AI

Profile of Google CEO Sundar Pichai. "Earlier this year, Pichai announced a major conceptual shift for the company, moving from 'mobile first' to 'artificial intelligence [AI] first'."

"'In an AI-first world, interactions become even more seamless and natural. So, with voice, you can speak to things, and we are working on Google Lens, so your computer can see things the way you see them.' Lens, due to launch later this year, will add visual recognition to smartphone cameras: point it at a restaurant, and it will find reviews online. Pichai also cites language translation as a compelling example of advanced AI; instant translation, both verbal and visual, will be possible with a high degree of accuracy within a few years."

"But there are profound questions around the safety and ethics of creating machines that can think and act for themselves. Does Pichai acknowledge these concerns? 'I recognise that, in the Valley, people are obsessed with the pace of technological change. It's tough to get that part right... We rush sometimes, and can misfire for an average person. As humans, I don't know whether we want change that fast."

  1. I'm already tired of the sociopaths who are walking around speaking aloud. They ate least seem to have someone they speak to. Now with people speaking to things the insanity spread even further. Put humans first.
