On Tuesday, Google kicked off I/O, its annual developer conference held in Mountain View, CA. While Android is often the main focal point of I/O, Google Assistant was the star this time around.
Perhaps the most impressive application of AI in Google Assistant is through a new technology called Duplex, which will allow Google Assistant to make calls and schedule appointments for you. For example, during the I/O keynote, Assistant called a hair salon to book an appointment for a woman. It sounded like a real person on the phone, and it was able to book an appointment during a certain time window, for a specific service.
Watch the video here, prepare to have your mind blown. This is a very clever & potentially scary use of AI. Like I say: servants ATM...
