How Google's AI Auto-Magically Answers Your Emails

The capabilities of Google's artificial intelligence are staggering. The phantoms within Google Photos can organize your pictures, the wizards inside Google Docs let you type and edit using spoken commands, and the brilliant pixies powering AlphaGo can easily beat a master of a 2,500-year-old game more complex than chess. Google's new Smart Reply feature uses artificial neural networks to come up with appropriate responses to email messages. Whether you're using Google's sleek email manager in the browser or via mobile app, Inbox can now answer your emails for you. The machine replies aren't sent automatically, which is good.
