He added that "we feel a deep sense of responsibility to get this right." "But it's equally clear that we can't just be wide-eyed about what we create." ![]() "It's clear that technology can be a positive force and improve the quality of life for billions of people around the world." Pichai said. 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. We want to help people find the right balance and gain a sense of digital wellbeing," Pichai said. "Many of us feel tethered to our phones and worry about what we'll miss if we're not connected. Google will be testing the digital assistant improvement in the months ahead. "It turns out that a big part of getting things done is making a phone call." "Our vision for our assistant is to help you get things done," Pichai told the conference in Google's hometown of Mountain View, California. 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 "ums" and "likes," and sends you a message with the details. 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. 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. Plus, they already took a few steps forward by presenting the all-electric DBX CUV concept in Geneva.: 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. Creations such as the Porsche 918 Spyder and Bentley's idea of a plug-in hybrid SUV are already out of the bag, so why wouldn't Aston Martin jump the bandwagon? Providing Aston Martin manages to secure the necessary know-how in order to design and build an EV, they would fit the current scene. However, the British carmaker could be forced to take measures for lowering emissions throughout its range as standards are constantly tightened around the world. Moreover, this would most likely be a one-off endeavor in delivering an electric sports car, as the brand will not give up its V8 and V12 engines only to embrace green technologies. Tesla Motors Inc., based in Palo Alto, California, isn’t one of them," he said.īut is Aston Martin trying to compete with Tesla? We don't think so since, realistically speaking, they wouldn't stand a chance given Tesla's achievements up until now. “We are looking at technologies around the world, including some pretty cool technologies coming from Silicon Valley. Moreover, the brand is looking for partners specialized in the EV technology field, but the Aston Martin CEO was shush-shush regarding the names involved in negotiations. Especially since Andy Palmer said the company he's currently running launched a research project for the electric car. Wait, what? Will Aston Martin go into EVs? According to the Wall Street Journal, this could happen in the near future. ![]()
