Google, AI and the Magic Intersection - Fivesight Research

On October 4th, roughly one year after the introduction of its branded line of hardware products, Google unveiled a second iteration of "Made by Google" hardware. This was a major product launch, but more than that, the presenters repeatedly hammered home Google's AI first messaging mantra with proof points in the form of a second generation branded product line built around AI and machine learning. The company's hardware strategy is clear. Google believes it is uniquely positioned to blend AI Software Hardware to deliver innovative products that will win in the marketplace, even if they are late to market. This second generation of Google hardware provides abundant proof that the company can bring uniquely differentiated features to existing product categories, and maybe even create some new ones.
