Is Messaging Moving to the IoT? - Internet of Things blog

Google introduced'Spaces' to us yesterday, "a new app that lets people get together instantly to share around any topic". Searching, sharing and messaging in small groups is now a snap. What's especially interesting is that machine learning, or'Artificial Intelligence (AI)' is baked in. If you're looking for a picture of a cat, you don't need to have named or tagged your photos'cat'; Google will look through your photos and work out which ones have cats in them by using the same capability that it uses in the Google Photos app. With AI built in, Spaces now joins Facebook's Messenger app, in featuring elements of the Cognitive Internet of Things (IoT).
