destruction. monsoon starting may twenty third d. w. . how would you like to have a secretary on call twenty four seven well google wants to make that happen from c.e.o. presenting a new feature which could soon make calls on your behalf using os official intelligence also coming up two months after general elections italians on none of us about the future what will a new government do to take the country out of economic stagnation. i'm daniel winter and this is your business subject. google's annual develop. conference is
7:17 pm
wrapping up today and the tech giant has once again use the event to give the world a taste of things to come google wowed crowds with innovations to its new digital a system which it claims will soon be able to take care of menial tasks for users like placing phone calls completely independently checked this. google hopes its digital assistant for mobile devices will soon replace secretaries around the world at their annual developer conference c.e.o. sunday showed what he claimed was the next generation. the first voice you hear is google's revamped assistant a preservative for one of the better. they leave. it there for people for p.v. . when today. a cell phone making reservations for its users google's calling it project duplex
7:18 pm
and it's just one example of how they hope artificial intelligence and machine learning could improve user experience tech companies are taking advantage of powerful new processors self adapting algorithms plus new cellular networks and the result google says it's a system for the end droid operating system will sell more realistic have more interactive conversations and carry out more actions for users meaning using a cell phone could soon look like this fix them right take a look at table four sounds good it will call my brother all my. other me to say. hey we're bringing what google's you know i push extends beyond its mobile division these say the technology will soon streamline their photos and other desktop applications. just increase creepy all exciting well our until it's in is our resident techie and you can tell us all about that what all the implications for this technology a are you making calls an album off well the implications are enormous and they
7:19 pm
come from every side of the equation as we saw there in the report and basically what we're talking about is google has developed kind of a well kind of a chat bot but for phones that acts independently of its users basically a user can as we saw there ask its phone to book a reservation either just get a haircut maybe at a restaurant and i'm just let it go off and make calls by itself actually i mean just so viewers really get a handle of what this is about i think we have a clip let's watch actually this thing in action once again. i am critical for wednesday that. they leave. it for four people for p.v. . and anyone today. so she is dealing with a difficult situation isn't quite understanding them the eyes having to react it's making an oz like it's a real pos and this is a bit scary and
7:20 pm
a bit strange when is this going to go well as it go from just booking simple appointments what i mean let's go back to your first question i mean just to start off with the ethical implications here are really kind of the big thing because typically when we interact with our devices it's a it's a one way street i'm the one who makes the decision of how i'm going to be using my device but if suddenly i can have like this chat bot basically going out making calls for me suddenly another person is involved in the transaction so suddenly you know when i'm saying i'm using my device i'm giving my permission to use the device but if suddenly it's calling someone else then there's a huge ethical quandary there because they don't know what they're actually talking to a computer that's what we saw a right there they don't know that they're speaking to a computer so does the computer have to notify them saying this is a computer i can actually really deal as a normal individual but you're talking to a computer here does it have to let them know in advance can only be used for reservations with weasels tying itself up in ethical knots here but let's get back
7:21 pm
to business where does it come to the bottom line where do they make money from well that is really kind of the big question i mean you have to think back to siri the first days years apple hasn't pushed it as fast as the other tech companies and i think it's really been left in the dust by the google assistance we saw here and i think that's really what google is focusing on by incorporating more machine learning artificial intelligence it's improving the overall they're improving the overall user experience or trying to streamline it and make it that much more attractive kind of like apple did years ago but better than they were doing better ok and last question can competitors. catch up to this well that is the big question everybody's working in these digital assistants right now but of course google has more information has access to more in-depth profiles of all its users than any other company out there so basically they have a huge foot forward when it comes to developing this tech of course everybody is trying to keep up but based on the amount of information out there i think google really has the they're on their one step ahead of the game ok as long as they to

automate oss i think everything will be fine thank you very much aaron tilton on us tech company apple has shelved its plans for an eight hundred fifty million euro data center in islands county galway the company cites an ongoing three year court battle with conservationists as the reason the activists were concerned about the environmental impact of the site which the company planned to occupy nearly one hundred seventy thousand square metres including forest land apples promises to make good on the damage done and to power the center with renewable energy could not save the project in the. positive steps in the last few hours towards forming a government in italy populist five-star and league parties say they're closer to an agreement now they would send italy in a completely new direction anti-establishment anti euro and anti austerity italians are disappointed in their country's lackluster economic progress of recent is and the absence of a new government since elections in march has undermined that confidence further

glad to have his work here at the market. even if it does involve a twelve hour day. but he's already advised his daughter to move abroad when she grows up. for good or the future is bleak so i don't see how anybody is going to be able to stay in italy. the crisis has already seen a lot of young people leave the country and it's by no means over yet by the. and now the black gold is glistening once again brant crude to surge to over seventy eight dollars a barrel before settling low on thursday it's hovering near it near its highest level since twenty fourteen that's as the u.s. ratchets up tensions with iran threatening to re-impose sanctions but international oil cartel opec says it's not going to ramp up production to make up for the expected drop in supply so such an increase in iranian crude output would take time
7:25 pm
buyers of iranian oil we'll have a six month period to wind down purchases due to u.s. sanctions. now markets man daniel cooper has more daniel way is sitting on the usual trend right now both the dollar and the oil price rising at the same time normally a stronger dollar makes it more expensive to buy oil so the price drops so what's going on. yeah very unusual in fact and the scenario we are seeing right now i was looking at it has only happened eleven times in thirty five years the current uncertainty of the geopolitical issues is certainly weighing in what's going to happen now with the sanctions on iran we have to remember that iran is an extremely big oil producing countries saudi arabia or so in that they want to produce more oil and you can feel the immediate results already have felt the certainly this morning at the gas station so prices are most likely going to go even more up and another factor could be a rather late one and this link to the fear we have seen lately happening about
7:26 pm
high interest rate hikes in the united states the cause is the dollar strengthens the euro weakens so european export is happy but plenty of countries and companies around the world will be punished by a stronger dollar why are we seeing the pain set. yeah exactly this is good you just mentioned for the export oriented german economy the strong dollar and we have been giving cheers here quite some good at the blue chip index x. after weeks here with a strong view of the dax has been again over a vote many investors you call the magical thirteen thousand point marks but it's really a difficult situation mostly for emerging markets those have been given those have been actually doing very well lately but they are to affect or is why all of this is really a difficult for them the first is the reversal of capital flows and the other is the less visible threat of a u.s.
