>>Sundar Pichai: WELCOME. WELCOME TO GOOGLE I/O. AND

WELCOME TO SHORELINE. IT FEELS REALLY NICE AND

DIFFERENT UP HERE. WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR MANY, MANY

YEARS IN MOSCONE, AND IN FACT, WE'VE BEEN DOING I/O

FOR 10 YEARS BUT I FEEL WE ARE AT A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN

TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE GOING AS A COMPANY AND FELT IT

APPROPRIATE TO CHANGE THE VENUE.

DOING IT HERE ALSO ALLOWS US TO INCLUDE A LOT MORE OF YOU.

THERE ARE OVER 7,000 OF YOU JOINING IN PERSON TODAY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] AND LATER TODAY, AFTER THE

KEYNOTE, YOU'LL BE JOINED BY SEVERAL GOOGLERS, PRODUCT

MANAGERS, ENGINEERS, AND DESIGNERS, SO HOPEFULLY

YOU'LL ENGAGE IN MANY, MANY CONVERSATIONS OVER THE THREE

DAYS. AS ALWAYS, I/O IS BEING LIVE

STREAMED AROUND THE WORLD. THIS YEAR WE HAVE THE

LARGEST-EVER AUDIENCE. WE ARE LIVE STREAMING THIS TO

530 EXTERNAL EVENTS IN OVER A HUNDRED COUNTRIES AROUND THE

WORLD, INCLUDING DUBLIN, WHICH IS A MAJOR TECH HUB IN

EUROPE. [ CHEERS ]

ISTANBUL, WHICH IS OUR OLDEST GOOGLE DEVELOPER GROUP.

[ CHEERS ] AND EVEN TO COLOMBO

SRI LANKA, WHICH IS THE LARGEST OUTSIDE OF THE

UNITED STATES WITH 2,000 PEOPLE.

[ CHEERS ] OUR LARGEST DEVELOPER

AUDIENCE ON THE LIVE STREAM IS FROM CHINA TODAY WITH OVER

1 MILLION PEOPLE TUNING IN LIVE FROM CHINA, SO WELCOME

TO THOSE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WE LIVE IN VERY, VERY EXCITING TIMES. COMPUTING

HAS HAD AN AMAZING EVOLUTION. STEPPING BACK, LARRY AND

SERGEY FOUNDED GOOGLE 17 YEARS AGO WITH THE GOAL OF

HELPING USERS FIND THE INFORMATION THEY NEED. AT

THE TIME, THERE WERE ONLY 300 MILLION PEOPLE ON LINE.

MOST OF THEM WERE ON BIG PHYSICAL COMPUTERS, ON SLOW

INTERNET CONNECTIONS. FAST-FORWARD TODAY. THANKS

TO THE RATE AT WHICH PROCESSORS AND SENSORS HAVE

EVOLVED, IT IS TRULY THE MOMENT OF MOBILE. THERE ARE

OVER 3 BILLION PEOPLE CONNECTED AND THEY ARE USING

THE INTERNET IN WAYS WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY LIVE

ON THEIR PHONES. THEY USE IT TO COMMUNICATE, LEARN NEW

THINGS, GAIN KNOWLEDGE, ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES. THEY

TAP AN ICON, EXPECT A CAR TO SHOW UP. THEY TALK TO THEIR

PHONES AND EVEN EXPECT MUSIC TO PLAY IN THE LIVING ROOM.

OR SOMETIMES GROCERIES TO SHOW UP AT THE FRONT DOOR.

SO WE ARE PUSHING OURSELVES REALLY HARD SO THAT GOOGLE IS

EVOLVING AND STAYING A STEP AHEAD OF OUR USERS.

ALL THE QUERIES YOU SEE BEHIND ME ARE LIVE QUERIES

COMING IN FROM MOBILE. IN FACT, TODAY, OVER 50% OF OUR

QUERIES COME FROM MOBILE PHONES. AND THE QUERIES IN

COLOR YOU SEE BEHIND ME ARE VOICE QUERIES. IN THE U.S.,

ON OUR MOBILE APP IN ANDROID, ONE IN FIVE QUERIES -- 20% OF

OUR QUERIES -- ARE VOICE QUERIES AND THAT SHARE IS

GROWING. GIVEN HOW DIFFERENTLY USERS ARE

ENGAGING WITH US, WE WANT TO PUSH OURSELVES AND DELIVER

THEM INFORMATION, RICH INFORMATION, IN THE CONTEXT

OF MOBILE. THIS IS WHY, IF YOU COME TO

GOOGLE TODAY AND SEARCH FOR BEYONCE, YOU DON'T JUST GET

TEN BLUE LINKS. YOU GET A RICH INFORMATION CARD WITH

MUSIC. YOU CAN LISTEN TO HER SONGS, FIND INFORMATION ABOUT

UPCOMING SHOW EVENTS, AND BOOK IT RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN

COME AND ASK US DIFFERENT QUERIES. PRESIDENTIAL

ELECTIONS OR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, AND WE AGAIN GIVE YOU

RICH IN-DEPTH INFORMATION. AND WE DO THIS ACROSS

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CATEGORIES GLOBALLY AT SCALE.

YOU CAN COME TO GOOGLE LOOKING FOR NEWS AS WELL.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HYPERLOOP, AN

EXCITING TECHNOLOGY, WE GIVE YOU INFORMATION WITH AMP

RIGHT THERE IN SEARCH RESULTS AND THEY LOAD INSTANTLY AND

YOU CAN SCROLL THROUGH THEM. AMAZING TO SEE HOW PEOPLE

ENGAGE DIFFERENTLY WITH GOOGLE. IT'S NOT JUST ENOUGH

TO GIVE THEM LINKS. WE REALLY NEED TO HELP THEM GET

THINGS DONE IN THE REAL WORLD.

THIS IS WHY WE ARE EVOLVING SEARCH TO BE MUCH MORE

ASSISTIVE. WE'VE BEEN LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS FOR

MANY, MANY YEARS THROUGH INVESTMENTS IN DEEP AREAS OF

COMPUTER SCIENCE. WE BUILT THE KNOWLEDGE GRAPH. WE

TODAY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF 1 BILLION ENTITIES.

PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS. AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN

THEM AND THE REAL WORLD. WE HAVE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED

THE QUALITY OF OUR VOICE RECOGNITION. WE RECENTLY

STARTED TRAINING OUR DATA SETS WITH NOISY BACKGROUNDS

DELIBERATELY, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR PEOPLE MORE ACCURATELY.

THE QUALITY HAS IMPROVED RECENTLY BY 25%.

IMAGE RECOGNITION AND COMPUTER VISION. WE CAN DO

THINGS WHICH WE NEVER THOUGHT WE COULD DO BEFORE. IF

YOU'RE IN GOOGLE PHOTOS TODAY, AND YOU SEARCH FOR

HUGS, WE ACTUALLY PULL AN ALL THE PICTURES OF PEOPLE

HUGGING IN YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WE HAVE RECENTLY EXTENDED

THIS TO VIDEOS, SO YOU CAN SAY "SHOW ME MY DOG VIDEOS"

AND WE ACTUALLY GO THROUGH YOUR VIDEOS AND PULL OUT YOUR

FAVORITE VIDEOS. TRANSLATION.

10 YEARS AGO, WE COULD TRANSLATE, MACHINE-TRANSLATE

IN TWO LANGUAGES. TODAY WE DO THAT FOR OVER A HUNDRED

LANGUAGES AND EVERY SINGLE DAY WE TRANSLATE OVER

140 BILLION WORDS FOR OUR USERS.

WE EVEN DO REALTIME VISUAL TRANSLATION. IF YOU'RE A

CHINESE USER AND YOU RUN INTO A MENU IN ENGLISH, ALL YOU

NEED TO DO IS TO HOLD UP YOUR PHONE AND WE CAN TRANSLATE IT

INTO ENGLISH FOR YOU. PROGRESS IN ALL OF THESE

AREAS IS ACCELERATING, THANKS TO PROFOUND ADVANCES IN

MACHINE LEARNING AND AI, AND I BELIEVE WE ARE AT A SEMINAL

MOMENT. WE AS GOOGLE HAVE EVOLVED

SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS AND WE BELIEVE WE

ARE POISED TO TAKE A BIG LEAP FORWARD IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

SO LEVERAGING OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART CAPABILITIES

IN MACHINE LEARNING AND AI, WE TRULY WANT TO TAKE THE

NEXT STEP IN BEING MORE ASSISTIVE FOR OUR USERS. SO

TODAY, WE ARE ANNOUNCING THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] SO WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE

SAY "THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT"? WE WANT TO BE THERE FOR OUR

USERS ASKING THEM, "HI, HOW CAN I HELP?" WE THINK OF THE

ASSISTANT IN A VERY SPECIFIC WAY. WE THINK OF IT AS A

CONVERSATIONAL ASSISTANT. WE WANT USERS TO HAVE AN

ONGOING, TWO-WAY DIALOGUE WITH GOOGLE. WE WANT YOU TO

HELP GET THINGS DONE IN YOUR REAL WORLD AND WE WANT TO DO

IT FOR YOU, UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONTEXT, GIVING YOU

CONTROL OF IT. WE THINK OF THIS AS BUILDING EACH USER

THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL GOOGLE. WE ALREADY HAVE ELEMENTS OF

THE ASSISTANT WORKING HARD FOR OUR USERS. I MENTIONED

EARLIER THAT 20% OF QUERIES ON OUR MOBILE APP IN ANDROID

IN THE U.S. ARE VOICE QUERIES. EVERY SINGLE DAY,

PEOPLE SAY OKAY, GOOGLE. AND ASK US QUESTIONS THAT WE HELP

THEM WITH AND WE HAVE STARTED BECOMING TRULY CONVERSATIONAL

BECAUSE OF OUR STRENGTHS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN BE IN FRONT OF THIS STRUCTURE IN

CHICAGO AND ASK GOOGLE, "WHO DESIGNED THIS?" YOU DON'T

NEED TO SEE "THE BEAN" OR "THE CLOUD GATE." WE

UNDERSTAND YOUR CONTEXT AND WE ANSWER THAT THE DESIGNER

IS ANEARBY ANISH KAPOOR. HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE. YOU

CAN ASK GOOGLE, "WHO DIRECTED THE REVENANT?"

>>Google: THE RELEVANT WAS DIRECTED BY.

>>Sundar Pichai: AND YOU CAN FOLLOW UP THAT WITH A

QUESTION SHOW ME HIS WORDS. BECAUSE I FIND THAT NAME

VERY, VERY HARD TO PRONOUNCE. AND GOOGLE COULD PICK THAT

CONVERSATION UP AND RETURN THE RIGHT ANSWER.

THIS HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN REALLY HARD TO DO FOR

COMPUTERS. THE REASON WE ARE ABLE TO DO IT IS BECAUSE WE

HAVE INVESTED THE LAST DECADE IN BUILDING THE WORLD'S BEST

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY. IN OUR ABILITY

TO DO CONVERSATIONAL UNDERSTANDING IS FAR AHEAD OF

WHAT OTHER ASSISTANTS CAN DO. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT

FOLLOW-ON QUERIES, OUR STUDIES SHOW THAT WE ARE AN

ORDER OF MAGNITUDE AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE.

SO TODAY PEOPLE ARE USING GOOGLE AND ASKING US

QUESTIONS IN MANY, MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, SO WE'VE PUT

TOGETHER A SHORT VIDEO SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK.
