Google Using AI To Automatically Update Some Business Information

Google announced it will be using artificial intelligence (AI) and a machine learning (ML) model to automatically update business hours and real-world road information. The goal of these initiatives is to provide users with more up-to-date information about neighborhood changes. Though research into AI began in the 1950s, it didn't begin to make deep learning breakthroughs until relatively recently. This is largely because machine learning progressed quite significantly post-2010. "From my experience, I saw that ML algorithms are no longer the bottlenecks. To be sure, they are far from perfect, and there's a lot of work to be done, but that work is happening at breakneck speed," Edo Liberty, the former head of Amazon's AI lab and current CEO of Pinecone, a vector database for similarity search said in a February 22 interview with Search Engine Journal.
