Summary | The new Google Translate app can translate texts that one has typed in or photographed and it can translate spoken language. It can be very useful when traveling to places where one does not understand the language. Users can just photograph a restaurant menu in a foreign language and have the Google Translate spit out the translation.

Summary | All innovations at Google include artificial intelligence. So does Google Lens: it enables users to take a picture of anything and get information about it delivered by Google. If one takes a picture of a flower, for instance, one learns its specific name and classification, how to care for it, as well as contact information of florist shops nearby. The image and pattern recognition software needed for such a service is within the realm of artificial intelligence.

Google's AI assistant will be able to understand cryptic questions such as "did Germany win?... and Portugal?" as related to soccer and interpret the context correctly. It will also be able to understand non-native speakers of English such as Google CEO Sundar Pichai with his Indian accent.
