Google Wishes People To Forget Gadgets; Envisions Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence

Google is looking at a future where people would not even notice their own gadgets. This is what the company's CEO Sundar Pichai shared in their annual shareholder letter, emphasizing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Google's annual shareholder letter this year was the first since Alphabet was announced in August 2015 as the company's parent company. According to reports, Google Search is what got the company started, and also considered as its future. However, search has become different than it was when Google launched it in 1998, and is also expected to be greatly different that it is now, eWeek reported.

The Google vision of machine learning and artificial intelligence is expected to support and work for the users in many imaginable ways. It is said to include how the GPU-based system of Nvidia trains the driverless cars through watching how the humans drive, collecting large amounts of data, and making the rules. The mechanics is a recent view at machine learning.  

Recently, devices are what people initially turn to, with majority of people using smartphones, while some turn to tablets. While the devices and computers will not completely go away, the people will not be as aware of them anymore, Android Central reported.

According to Pichai, the next giant step is for the idea of the device to fade away. According to reports, Google is joined by virtually each major player in preparing for the shift from device-centrism to artificial intelligence in a computer business. Microsoft has renewed its focus on AI, the smart assistant "M" of Facebook and  the home hub manager of Amazon called Alexa are among those mentioned in a recent report.

Google vows to provide support, as there are large issues expected to be encountered due to the transition. Pichai said that this is another significant step towards producing  artificial intelligence. In the years to come, it will be able to provide help from completing the daily tasks and travels, to later confronting bigger challenges such as the cancer diagnosis and climate change.
