Google unveiled Tuesday an artificial intelligence tool capable of handling routine tasks — such as making restaurant bookings — as a way to help people disconnect from their smartphone screens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Kicking off the tech giant’s annual developers conference, Google chief executive Sundar Pichai argued that its AI-powered digital assistant had the potential to free people from everyday chores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pichai played a recording of the Google Assistant independently calling a hair salon and a restaurant to make bookings — interacting with staff who evidently didn’t realize they were dealing with artificial intelligence software, rather than a real customer.<\/p>\n

Tell the Google Assistant to book a table for four at 6:00 pm, it tends to the phone call in a human-sounding voice complete with \u00abums\u00bb and \u00ablikes,\u00bb and sends you a message with the details.<\/p>\n

\u00abOur vision for our assistant is to help you get things done,\u00bb Pichai told the conference in Google’s hometown of Mountain View, California.<\/p>\n

\u00abIt turns out that a big part of getting things done is making a phone call.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Google will be testing the digital assistant improvement in the months ahead.<\/p>\n

\u00abMany of us feel tethered to our phones and worry about what we’ll miss if we’re not connected. We want to help people find the right balance and gain a sense of digital wellbeing,\u00bb Pichai said.<\/p>\n

– Getting things right –<\/p>\n

The conference opened with Silicon Valley facing a wave of criticism over issues such as private data protection, the spread of misinformation and the use of tech platforms for hate speech and violence, and with intense scrutiny of Facebook over the hijacking of data on millions of its users.<\/p>\n

\u00abIt’s clear that technology can be a positive force and improve the quality of life for billions of people around the world.\u00bb Pichai said.<\/p>\n

\u00abBut it’s equally clear that we can’t just be wide-eyed about what we create.\u00bb<\/p>\n

He added that \u00abwe feel a deep sense of responsibility to get this right.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Much of the focus was on Google Assistant, the artificial intelligence application competing against Amazon’s Alexa and others.<\/p>\n

Google Assistant is being taught to better understand people and interact with them more naturally — and will be getting new voices, including one based on the voice of singer John Legend, as well as programming to improve conversation performance.<\/p>\n

\u00abThanks to our progress in language understanding, you’ll soon be able to have a natural back-and-forth conversation with the Google Assistant without repeating ‘Hey Google’ for each follow-up request,\u00bb Pichai said.<\/p>\n

– More ‘shush’ time –<\/p>\n

In another effort to untether people from smartphone screens, a dashboard breaks down time spent on devices and how often they are unlocked.<\/p>\n

Google also planned to add a \u00abshush\u00bb mode to its Android mobile software, switching smartphones to a do-not-disturb mode when they are placed face down on a table.<\/p>\n

YouTube watchers will be able to set a pop-up message to remind them to take breaks from viewing, according to Pichai.<\/p>\n

\u00abThis is going to be a deep, ongoing effort across all our platforms,\u00bb Pichai said.<\/p>\n

\u00abTo help you understand habits, focus on what matters, switch off and wind down.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Google is seeking to make services more personal, relevant and intimate from maps to email, Gartner analyst Brian Blau told AFP after the keynote presentation.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe are taking a very human approach to technology, and convincing you people can continue to rely on Google,\u00bb Blau said.<\/p>\n

\u00abWe have seen, as a central theme, trust.\u00bb<\/p>\n
