It's somehow already May, which means Google's I/O developer conference is right around the corner: next week, in fact. The show is once again being held in scenic Mountain View, California, and with its keynotes, sessions and musical acts, I/O feels like a developer conference with just a hint of Coachella. Personally, we're going for the hard news, and we expect a lot of it, even despite a recent, massive Google news dump. In anticipation of all that action, here's a quick primer on what we know Google has in store for I/O, along with a few things we're likely to see once the show kicks off on Tuesday. Google's latest version of Android is already available for tinkerers, so the broad strokes are well known at this point.

Google has had voice search features in Android for years, but when Google Assistant rolled out on the Pixel in October 2016, everything finally came together. You can now get Assistant on all modern Android devices, and Google is constantly improving the platform with new features. It can be easy to miss the improvements if you don't obsessively keep an eye on the news, so here they are in one place: the 12 coolest new features in Google Assistant. Google Assistant supports numerous smart home devices, but you might notice that devices you've just added to your account don't always work right away. You can give it a kickstart. After adding a new smart home device like a camera or thermostat, open up Assistant and say, "Sync my devices."

Quite clearly, the future of technology is headed towards Artificial Intelligence. Many of the top tech companies have already launched their own personalized AI assistant. But in the world of AI currently, there are currently only three top players – Apple's Siri, Google's Google Assistant, and Amazon's Alexa. But amongst the three AI, which is the best? First of all, we need to understand the fact that all these AI are specific to specialized OS.

We get a vague due date for Tesla's next big project, the Model Y, Google's voice assistant makes its way into thousands more smart devices and cheaters never prosper (and possibly go to jail) when it comes to Overwatch and Fortnite. Elon Musk says it'll spark a'manufacturing revolution'. Tesla's latest prediction for Model Y's arrival is 2020 Tesla's forthcoming Model Y is still shrouded in mystery. We know it's a crossover EV, and we know it might not have mirrors... and that's about it. But CEO Elon Musk has now revealed that the company aims to bring the new vehicle to production in 2020, adding in its conference call that doing so will spark a "manufacturing revolution".

The new Windows 10 April 2018 update is causing apps such as Google's Chrome browser and even Microsoft's own Cortana virtual assistant to freeze and lock up computers. The bug within the latest version of Windows 10, which rolled out to the general public on Monday, has caused hundreds of users to take to Reddit as well as Chrome and Microsoft's support forums to complain of seemingly random incidents where machines lock up. "Everything freezes, keys don't work, Ctrl Alt Delete doesn't work," one exasperated user on Reddit called TheCuteCat said. "The ONLY way to gain back control is to make the computer sleep by pressing the power button on my laptop, then reawakening." The Guardian can confirm that the bug affects some but not all Windows 10 machines updated to the April 2018 update, and appears to impact newer computers with Intel's integrated graphics chips.

How much does Apple know about me? Following Facebook's acknowledgement that it had let a political ad targeting firm scrape the personal data of 87 million users, I rushed to see what kind of personal data the social network and Google had gathered on me. Both had more information, reaching back longer, than I had envisioned. I use an iPhone, iPad and two Mac computers, and Apple also offers data downloads in the privacy section of its website. It's hard to find, and once you do make the connection, you can expect a hefty wait to get the results.

When the "Father of Android" Andy Rubin was betting on the next frontier two years ago by saying: "There is a point in time -- I have no idea when it is -- it won't be in the next 10 years, or 20 years -- where there is some form of AI, for lack of a better term, that will be the next computing platform," he was onto something. Today, the AI-powered innovations like driverless vehicles and personal assistants are already stealing the spotlight on a daily basis and making people more productive with their day-to-day tasks. The ripple –through effect of AI didn't only impact how we interact with the digital world but also it eventually hit the business interactions as well. By narrowing the scope of the digital business world, in this article, we will highlight how AI and machine learning can be applied to content management. When we inject "intelligence" into content management systems, from automating menial tasks to analyzing the tone of each piece of content, the possibilities are endless. As the Salesforce CMO said on the London leg of their World Tour: "Welcome to the age of artificial intelligence, the world will never be the same again and it's going to happen really quickly."

When Facebook announced a new dating feature at its annual developer conference this week, it drew quick comparisons to existing apps like Tinder and Bumble. But the social network's matchmaking service, simply called Dating, most closely resembles another, lesser known dating app: Hinge. Facebook hasn't yet begun to test Dating, but the demo version touted on stage by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and chief product officer Chris Cox looks nearly identical to Hinge. This isn't the first time Facebook has ripped off a competitor; Instagram famously lifted Stories from Snapchat in 2016. And as in previous cases, Hinge probably doesn't have much recourse to stop them.

The love-seeking singles of Facebook's new dating service, privacy experts say, may not be prepared for what they'll encounter: sham profiles, expanded data gathering and a new wave of dating fraud. Facebook -- under fire for viral misinformation, fake accounts and breaches of trust -- said this week it will soon offer a new dating service designed to help its users find love, giving the world's largest social network a uniquely intimate vantage point on its users' romantic desires and personal lives. The service will allow people older than 18 to create a dating profile -- separate from their main profile and invisible to their friends -- that it shows to potential matches based on common interests, dating preferences, location and mutual friends, company officials said. Using a button -- not a swipe, as popularized by popular dating app Tinder -- people will then be able to say whether they're "interested" or would rather "pass" on those potential partners, officials said. Matches will be shown the other person's first name, age, current city and photo, though users will also have the option of sharing their work, education and other biographical information.
