Google this week hosted its annual I/O developers conference, announcing new products that highlight the tech giant's focus on artificial intelligence. Google Translate Product Lead Barak Turovsky lent some content in a post to the company's corporate blog: "The assistant is conversational – an ongoing two-way dialogue between you and Google that understands your world and helps you get things done. It makes it easy to buy movie tickets while on the go, to find that perfect restaurant for your family to grab a quick bite before the movie starts, and then help you navigate to the theater. Turovsky said the company views the current technological landscape as at a "seminal moment. Many of these advances have been thanks to machine learning and artificial intelligence – specifically, areas like natural language processing, voice recognition and translation – and they have helped us build an increasingly useful and assistive experience for users.
