Google details how it's using AI and machine learning to improve search

What remains is a fingerprint Google compares with thousands of songs from around the world to identify potential matches in real time, much like the Pixel's Now Playing feature. "From new technologies to new opportunities, I'm really excited about the future of search and all of the ways that it can help us make sense of the world," Raghavan said. Last month, Google announced it will begin showing quick facts related to photos in Google Images, enabled by AI. Starting in the U.S. in English, users who search for images on mobile might see information from Google's Knowledge Graph -- Google's database of billions of facts -- including people, places, or things germane to specific pictures. Google also recently revealed it is using AI and machine learning techniques to more quickly detect breaking news around natural disasters and other crises.
