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.

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.
