There have been major progress in the field thanks to natural language processing and machine learning. Future products will be using AI to improve our lifestyle; for instance, an electric toothbrush using deep learning algorithms can improve your dental hygiene. What is happening with AI today is not new, but what is different now is the speed; change is happening at a faster rate. However, to improve AI we will need more personal data, which will lead us to cross a creepy line in the future.

Summary | Google presented their new technology and their main focus is artificial intelligence. Google's Assistant is now proactively listening and making suggestion (for instance to leave the house early because of traffic) without users having to activate it by saying "OK Google". It will also be available accross devices. Google are attempting to replace Siri on Apple devices. Google's Assistant is much better developed in being able to understand colloquial commands. They are also working on connecting their Assistant with the camera, so that one could hold up the phone to a restaurant and get reviews about that restaurant pulled up. This has huge potential for making the lives of visually impaired people easier.
