SUNDAR PICHAI: Welcome to Google I/O.
For someone like me, who grew up without a phone,
I can distinctly remember how gaining access to technology
can make a difference in your lives.
That's why we've been so focused on bringing
digital skills to communities around the world.
We've trained over 25 million people,
and we expect that number to rise over 60 million
in the next five years.
Health care is one of the most important fields
AI is going to transform.
We announced our work on diabetic retinopathy
and we used deep learning to help doctors diagnose it.
We can predict the five year risk
of you having an adverse cardiovascular event, heart
attack or strokes.
We have been working with our partners
using de-identified medical records.
Turns out, if you go and analyze over 100,000 data
points per patient, more than any single doctor could
analyze, we can actually quantitatively predict
the chance of readmission 24 to 48 hours earlier
than traditional methods.
It gives doctors more time to act.
We are bringing another feature to G-mail: smart compose.
We use machine learning to start suggesting phrases for you
as you type.
All you need to do is to hit Tab and keep order completing.
Another product is Google Photos.
We are bringing a new feature.
If you took a picture of a document which
you want to save for later, we can
recognize, convert the document to PDF
and make it much easier for you to use later.
Or if you happen to have a very special memory, something
in black and white, we can recreate that moment in color
and make that moment even more real and special.
And we are adding, as of today, six new voices
to the Google Assistant.
John Legend's voice will be coming later this year
so that you can get responses like this.
JOHN LEGENDS: At 10 AM you have an event
called Google I/O keynote.
Then at 1:00 PM you have margaritas.
Have a wonderful day.
SUNDAR PICHAI: I'm looking forward to 1:00 PM.
SPEAKER 2: Today the Assistant is
available on over 500 million devices.
Now by the end of this year the Assistant
will support 30 languages and be available in 80 countries.
But one step that we've been working on
is something we call Pretty Please.
SPEAKER 3: Hey, Google.
Talk to [INAUDIBLE].
SPEAKER 4: Daddy, you forgot to say please.
SPEAKER 5: Tell me a story, please.
ASSISTANT: Thanks for asking so nicely.
You're very polite.
SPEAKER 6: I know.
SPEAKER 2: So the Assistant understands and responds
to positive conversation with polite reinforcement.
SPEAKER 7: Now sometimes the Assistant
can actually be more helpful by having a lower visual profile.
So let's say I'm heading home from work,
I have Google Maps showing me the fastest
route during rush hour traffic.
Hey, Google.
Send Nick my ETA and play some hip hop.
ASSISTANT: OK.
Letting Nick know you're 20 minutes away,
and check out this hip hop music station on YouTube.
SUNDAR PICHAI: Let's say you want
to ask Google to make your haircut appointment.
So what you're going to hear is the Google Assistant
actually calling a real salon to schedule
an appointment for you.
[RINGING]
That was a real call you just heard.
The amazing thing is the Assistant
can actually understand the nuances of conversation.
We've been working on this technology for many years.
It's called Google Duplex.
It brings together all our investments
over the years in natural language understanding,
deep learning, text to speech.
I'm really excited to announce the new Google News.
TRYSTAN UPSTILL: With the new Google News,
we set out to help you do three things.
First, keep up with the news you care about.
Second, understand the full story.
And finally, enjoy and support the sources you love.
Our AI constantly reads the fire hose of the web for you.
The millions of articles, videos, podcasts and comments
being published every minute, and assembles the key things
you need to know.
We're also excited to introduce a new visual format
we call Newscasts.
You're not going to see these in any other news app.
Newscast give me an easy way to get the basics
and decide where I want to dive in more deeply.
Full Coverage is an invitation to learn more.
It gives a complete picture of a story
in terms of how it's being reported
from a variety of sources and a variety of formats.
This is by far the most powerful feature of the app.
And here in the Newstand section,
it's easy to find and follow the sources I already love
and browse and discover new ones.
And if there's a publication I want to subscribe to,
we make it dead simple.
Because you're signed in with your Google account,
you're set.
We're rolling out on Android, iOS and the web
in 127 countries starting today.
SPEAKER 8: Growth of Android over the last 10 years
has helped fuel the shift in computing
from desktop to mobile.
[INAUDIBLE] mention, AI is going to profoundly change
industries.
And this brings me to the new version
of Android we're working on.
Android P.
Adaptive battery uses on-device machine
learning to figure out which apps
you'll use in the next few hours and which you won't use
until later, if at all today.
With Android P, we're going to beyond simply predicting
the next app to launch to predicting the next action you
want to take.
We call this feature App Actions.
What's happening here is that the actions are being predicted
based on my usage patterns.
The phone is adapting to me and trying
to help me get to my next task more quickly.
Slices are a new API for developers
to define interactive snippets of their app UI.
That can be surfaced in different places in the OS.
With ML Kit, you get on-device APIs
to text recognition, face detection, image labeling
and a lot more.
And ML Kit also supports the ability
to tap into Google's cloud based ML technologies.
SPEAKER 9: Our team has heard so many stories from people
who are trying to find the right balance with technology.
One of the first things we focused on
was helping you understand your habits.
Android P will show you a dashboard of how you're
spending time on your device.
As you saw earlier, you can see how much time you
spent in apps, how many times you've
unlocked your device today and how many notifications you've
received.
Android P lets you set time limits on apps
and will nudge you when you're close to your limit
that it's time to do something else.
If you turn your phone over on the table,
it automatically enters do not disturb so you
can focus on being present.
No pings, vibrations, or other distractions.
You can tell the Google Assistant
what time you aim to go to bed.
And when that time arrives it will switch on
do not disturb and fade the screen
to grayscale, which is far less stimulating for the brain
and can help you set the phone down.
Well, today we're announcing Android P Beta.
SPEAKER 10: Maps was built to assist everyone.
We've mapped over 220 countries and territories
and put hundreds of millions of businesses and places
on the map.
We're adding a new tab to maps called For You.
It's designed to tell you what you
need to know about the neighborhoods you care about.
New places that are opening, what's trending now
and personal recommendations.
We've created a score called Your Match
to help you find more places that you'll love.
Your Match uses machine learning to combine what Google knows
about hundreds and millions of places with the information
that I've added.
SPEAKER 11: Let me paint a familiar picture.
Your phone says, head south on Market Street.
One problem: you have no idea which way is south.
So you look down at the phone, you're
looking at that blue dot on the map,
and you're starting to walk to see if it's
moving in the same direction.
Our team's have been working really hard
to combine the power of the camera, the computer vision,
with Street View and Maps to re-imagine walking navigation.
So here's how it could look like in Google Maps.
Notice that you also see the map,
so that way you stay oriented.
You can start to see nearby places,
so you see what's around you.
Now with smart text selection you
can now connect the words you see with the answers
and actions you need.
So you can do things like copy and paste from the real world
directly into your phone.
You're at your friend's place, you check out
this trendy looking lamp, and you
want to know things that match that style.
And now Lens can help you.
You open the camera and you start
to see Lens surface proactively, all the information instantly.
And it even anchors that information to the things
that you see.
SPEAKER 12: Waymo is the only company
in the world with a fleet of fully self-driving cars,
with no one in the driver's seat, on public roads.
So Phoenix will be the first stop
for Waymo's driverless transportation service, which
is launching later this year.
Soon everyone will be able to call Waymo using our app
and a fully self-driving car will
pull up, with no one in the driver's seat,
to whisk them away to their destination.
SPEAKER 10: And I hope you all find some inspiration
in the next few days to keep building
good things for everyone.
Thank you.
SUNDAR PICHAI: This came to my attention.
We restored the natural laws of physics, so all is well.
We can get back to business.
