Google Using Artificial Intelligence To Help With Simple, Necessary Tasks

MOUNTAIN VIEW (CBSMiami) -- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is satisfying human needs we may never have thought possible. Now, Google is using AI to tackle mundane, but necessary tasks like making a hair appointment, bringing AI closer to becoming a true personal assistant. "It brings together all our investments over the years," said Google CEO Sundar Chipai, at the AI Developers Conference. Chipai unveiled Google Duplex to an eager crowd roaring with applause, and demonstrated the new tool making a real call to a hair salon. It is nearly impossible to discern which voice belongs to the human, and which belongs to the bot making the call, complete with natural pauses, inflection and crutches like "uh" and "um."
