Google tailors A.I.-powered search for enterprise ZDNet

Google is investing significantly in artificial intelligence to power its search engines, and on Monday it announced how it's applying those investments to the enterprise sphere. At its global enterprise event series, Google Atmosphere, in Tokyo on Monday, Google executives unveiled Google Springboard, a new app that helps users find the information they need more efficiently. It also assists users by proactively providing "actionable" information and recommendations, Prabhakar Raghavan, vice president of engineering for Google Apps, said in a blog post. Raghavan noted that according to a McKinsey survey, the average knowledge worker spends the equivalent of a full day a week searching for and gathering information. Meanwhile, Google on Monday also announced a redesigned version of Google Sites, one the most popular products for enterprise customers.
