Google in catchup mode with latest push into consumer artificial intelligence

Huffington Post - Tech news and opinion

What is driving this is that we have passed a tipping point a few years back with the convergence of faster cheap computing power and faster broadband and local wifi network speeds to enable better near instant search and complex response. These means the old world of click and search and bad voice recognition or at best clunky responses has moved on into smooth rapid better voice, face, gesture, and text recognition now in real time. Why this is fundamentally important is that it means we will increasingly not touch a keyboard or smartphone or tablet screen but use our voice to do the same thing but more importantly, it will also "talk back" and recommend and assist with personalized services or connected room or car situational advice. Thirdly, it also means that the earlier attempts of virtual reality with Google Glass and Microsoft Kinect have shifted from fad and game inside a closed virtual environments to a bigger open assisted augmented reality of connected things.
