Summary | Google is always after the most exciting innovations. Their main focus at the moment is on artificial intelligence assistants which can be operated conversationally. Because they are voice-activated, issues with privacy come up: is Google's AI assistant constantly listening in? Google is working on solutions for making privacy settings as customizable as possible. Another big focus is translation. Google translate can already operate in 100 languages and now users can even scan, say a restaurant menu, and get it translated right away.

Some smartphones can already translate real-time conversations with imitating the speakers voice thanks to advances in voice recognition. Image recognition has also advanced substantially to being able to "read" moods, age, and attractiveness of the photographed individuals. Research is being done for smartphones and other devices to monitor body odor, sweat (to allet to dehydration), or tear liquid (for diabetics).

Summary | The project Google Brain focuses on machine learning and deep learning. The founder of the project, Greg Corrado, claims that Google has always been an artificial intelligence company. Deep learning has changed the ways in which machines learn. One of the goals of deep learning will be to improve machine translation. Voice recognition works well now, but machine translation is not perfect yet. Regarding ethical questions and safety, Corrado says that we should have an open discussion.
