Google's AI chief on AutoML, autonomous weapons, and the future

Roughly one month ago, news broke that Apple had poached Google AI chief John Giannandrea, and he was quickly replaced by Jeff Dean, leader of the Google Brain research division. The longtime Googler took over as AI chief at a time when AI continues to spread to all Google products and services and the company is making AI into its own division. Google Research recently even changed its name to Google AI. On Tuesday, as the company rolled out dozens of new features and updates -- including ML Kit for mobile app developers, plans for a third generation of tensor processing unit chips, and AI for Google Assistant that can make phone calls on your behalf -- Dean shared his vision of the future. On the horizon, Dean sees opportunities for AI to create new products and find solutions to problems humans haven't even considered before.
