Yesterday, Google wrote in a blog post that the company is using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning techniques to more quickly recognize breaking news around various crises such as natural disasters. According to Google's VP of search Pandu Nayak, the AI systems of Google now take minutes to recognize breaking stories. In comparison, the detection time of its systems was up to 40 minutes only a few years ago. Nayak wrote in the post that the company has improved its system to automatically recognize breaking news around crisis moments and make sure that the company is returning the most authentic information available. Likely, quicker breaking news detection will become more critical as the 2020 United States Presidential Election day nears and natural disasters across the globe unfold.

Chances are, Google (GOOGL, Tech30) kept every audio recording. And you can play them back to yourself. This is one of things some Google users were surprised to discover on Monday, when Google launched its new "My Account" feature. The company is trying to give users a better idea -- and more control -- over what information it collects. It's already obvious that Google remembers every text search you perform on its site.
