According to "Japanese economic news" reported on May 22, the United States Google are accelerating the growth of the smartphone era "after" strategy. Its core is the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI). On May 18, Google released the artificial intelligent chat application and domestic terminal to speech recognition, and developed the special chip. When Google have strong traditional smartphone market is beginning to slow, Google began to shift focus to the artificial intelligence.

On May 18, in mountain view, California headquarters, Google held the annual developers conference "Google I/O". Conference, Google has released many new products and services, demonstrated in recent years to develop the artificial intelligence research and development.

Intelligent chat application, for example, "ALLO" will be launched in the summer of 2016 from, has a "smart reply" function in focus. Artificial intelligence can receive information and photos, automatic analysis and give advice. Home desktop speech recognition terminal "GoogleHome" will also be on the market in years. When a user dialogue with terminal, artificial intelligence "GoogleAssistant" can the information needed for users to search, and control the switch of lighting and electrical appliances.

In the chat application and household speech recognition in terminals, Facebook and amazon in the leading position in the United States. Google give full play to in the understanding of natural speech and voice recognition and other advantages of artificial intelligence, are catching up.

"We will from mobile devices into the world to the world of artificial intelligence". Google's chief executive officer (CEO), sundar skin looked at the end of April, the open letter wrote letter to shareholders.

Created in 1998, Google "integration of the world's information and make it universally accessible and benefit" for the mission. Use of personal computers and mobile phone search service has been overwhelming competitive advantage.

However, with flat end, TV, smart watches and other information of People's Daily contact terminal types continue to increase, the importance of a single terminal is getting smaller. Can be used in all terminal services competitiveness tested. Artificial intelligence can be largely determine software and services of ease of use, Google actively committed to this is also because of this.

The public self-developed special chip "TPU" also confirm the seriousness of the Google. In the "deep learning" (DeepLearning) artificial intelligence research project officially launched three years ago, TPU began as a top secret plan. About 1 years ago into Google's database, the performance verification.

According to skin looked, and the "deep learning" processor "GPU" and "the FPGA", commonly used unit power consumption properties of TPU to 10 times faster. It is reported, TPU for march "go" man-machine war victory "AlphaGo" also made a contribution.

Google's artificial intelligence development manager Jeff dean said, "the best software to meet the best hardware to maximize performance".
