Last week, at its annual keynote event Google I/O, the firm revealed its new artificially intelligent assistant. “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,” Google announced online.
Type or speak what you want to an AI, and it will parse your question, dredge up the right answer, and handle the formulaic process of, say, ordering a cab.
That way Google can collect even more information about you than it already does, turning you into an even better product which can be sold at a much higher prirce.
