Google's AI is a "new paradigm" that unites humans and machines

Google is fully aware of artificial intelligence's (AI) potential -- DeepMind's AlphaGo AI is one of today's most well-known examples of its capabilities -- and in an earnings call this week, the company made it clear they believe the future of technology lies with AI. During the call, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet (Google's parent company), praised the company's decision to invest in AI early, highlighting the concept's trajectory from "a research project to something that can solve new problems for a billion people a day," according to an Inverse report. Pichai went on to note how Google's AI research is already producing products that utilize machine learning, such as the Google Clips camera that debuted earlier this month. "Even though we are in the early days of AI, we are already rethinking how to build products around machine learning," said Pichai. "It's a new paradigm compared to mobile-first software, and I'm thrilled how Google is leading the way."
