Hello, This Is The AI Speaking, Worth Reading Article

At this year’s Google I/O Conference, Sundar Pichai, the company’s CEO, has presented an amazing new capability for Google Assistant. That puts it in front of its competitors: Google Duplex. The technology is amazing and it can make phone calls on behalf of the user to reserve appointments at the hairdresser. Book a table at a restaurant. And pretty much anything else that can be done through simply calling. On the other side, Duplex can not only speak on behalf of the user but also record the appointment in the users’ Calendar app and remind them of their upcoming appointment in due time. It is an amazing advance for AI digital assistants – but it’s a bit scary at the same time.
