Google, being at the forefront of innovation, is leveraging the power of AI to enhance its products and services, making them even more helpful and user-friendly.
Here are nine ways Google is using AI to improve its products:
Google Search
When Google was founded, most searches happened on computers in homes, computer labs or libraries. Twenty-five years later, AI is making it possible to search in new languages, with new inputs (like searching with your camera, or even humming a tune) and even multiple inputs at once.
And now thanks to multisearch, you can search with images and text at the same time with the Google app.
So next time you’re inspired by an interesting wallpaper pattern, you can just snap a photo and add text to find that pattern on a shirt. T
he ability to multisearch is powered by the latest in computer vision and language understanding techniques.
Google Maps
Google Maps uses AI to analyze data and provide up-to-date information about traffic conditions and delays — sometimes helping you avoid a traffic jam altogether.
Now with immersive view, Google Maps fuses together billions of Street View and aerial images to create a rich, digital model of the world - letting you truly experience a place before you ever step foot inside.
With AI, Maps uses 2D images of a venue to generate a highly accurate, 3D representation that models the true complexity of what a place is like - so you can see if a restaurant has great lighting for a date night or an awesome outdoor seating area.
Google Translate
Translate uses AI and machine learning to break down language barriers and allow people to connect across the world.
Google is continuing to push state of the art ML-driven translation, now with 133 languages supported. And they've expanded the number of languages available on-device in the Translate app as well, with 33 new available to use whether you have a network connection or are traveling without one, including Basque, Corsican, Hawaiian, Hmong, Kurdish, Latin, Luxembourgish, Sundanese, Yiddish and Zulu, among others, to make helpful translations more accessible and less network-dependent.
Google Pixel
AI helps your Pixel phone instantly translate between 21 languages in chat, as well as facilitate a verbal conversation between 6 different languages in Interpreter Mode. It’s also what enables Magic Eraser to remove distractions from photos.
Google Photos
People take a lot of photos but an abundance of pics makes it easy for memories to get buried.
So back in 2015, the company developed AI in Google Photos to help users search for photos by what’s in them.
And more recently, Google used AI in Photos to help people revisit forgotten “Memories.”
