Google in 2016

According to sources close to the Wall Street Journal, Google is looking into launching a new mobile based messenger service underpinned by artificial intelligence. “For its new service, Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., plans to integrate chatbots, software programs that answer questions inside a messaging app,” the article claims.

Facebook’s M is not a fully automated intelligence. There is some human interaction and curation involved to aid it with more complex queries, but eventually this will be an interim step until the computers can handle more intricate requests. “Everything the trainers do, we record every step,” says Alex Lebrun, an AI expert at Facebook involved in the project. This information includes what websites they visit, what they say over any calls made, and what they type in response to the Facebook user.

Apple soon to be worth more than $1 trillion

Apple soon to be worth more than $1trillion

Right now, shares for Apple are at $127 and analysts are saying they can rise as high as $180 – making Apple worth more than $1 trillion. That is, of course, if the iWatch doesn’t fall flat on its face. If that fails, Apple will be stuck at a measly three quarters of a trillion, and that’s bush league.
