how would you like to have a secretary on call twenty four seven well google wants to make that happen some c.e.o. presenting a new feature which could soon make calls on your behalf using artificial intelligence also coming out it's the model every car making these to have the s u v is becoming so popular even luxury brand rolls royces jumping on the bandwagon we take a look. i'm done for winter and this is your business update. google's annual developers conference wrapped up on thursday google wowed the crowd with innovations to its digital assistant which the company claims will soon be able to make phone calls by itself. 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 i predicted before wednesday that. they would leave. it for four people or peeved. late wednesday six pm. a cell phone making reservations for its users google's calling it project duplex 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 thank you. nice

experiments here. we're bringing what google's ai push extends beyond its mobile division these eva technology will soon streamline their photos and other desktop applications. creepy ole exciting well are until it's an is a 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 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 on 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 like the government
3:05 am
haircut cracked i am i'm looking for something i'm a parent. to like me was i. didn't. or what primary boileau. we do not have a bow on the bow quote that we have that no one. you have anything that could have am and that. susie is dealing with a difficult situation where a person isn't quite understanding them the eyes having to react it's making an os like it's a real pos and this is a bit scary and a bit strange when is this going to go away as it go from just picking simpler point one what i mean let's go back 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 one way street i'm the one who makes the decision of how i'm going to be using my
3:06 am
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 that 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 does it have to let them know in advance can only be used for reservations had whistles tying itself up in ethical knots here but let's get back 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 of digital assistants when siri came out for the i phone four s. it was the killer app it was the big thing everybody wanted to have now siri has kind of fallen by the wayside unless all years apple hasn't pushed it as fast as
3:07 am
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 apple like. 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 there are one step ahead of the game ok as long as they don't all tomatoes i think everything will be fine thank you very much are until. well brant crude has surged to over seventy eight dollars per barrel hovering near its highest
3:08 am
level since twenty fourteen that says the u.s. ratchets up tension with iran threatening to impose sanctions but international oil cartel opec will not yet ramp up production to make up for the expect a drop in supply saying a change in iranian crude output would take time the u.s. is giving bias of iranian oil six months to wind down purchases. and coulter is following this for us from wall street dance we're seeing an unusual 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 what's going on. yeah it certainly is a very unusual trend because they usually as commodities like oil are traded in dollar if the value of the dollar increases that makes it more expensive for foreign investors to buy those commodities and then often demand gets a bit slower and that usually puts pressure on commodity prices but what we're
3:09 am
seeing right now is that there's all this inflation talk going on that is driving the dollar higher because investors expect more interest rates to come and then on the other side also especially with all the talk about the iran deal we saw some increased pressure on oil prices on top of it but most investors and analysts believe that someone has to get either the dollar or oil people are not really expecting this to be a sustainable trend ok quite a rare event from fossil fuel to renewables though why while the u.s. is a country is backing away from wind power and solar california has decided to take on the responsibility for clean energy themselves what can you tell us. it's a pretty bold step per california actually decided that already by twenty two read me that all new homes have to be equipped with solar power and that is on one
3:10 am
site interesting because this investment is probably going to cause that home prices on average will increase by eight to twelve thousand dollars and that we're in a state where real estate prices are already sky high but then the proponents of this deal and decision are quite sure that with sustainable energy it was solar energy that the costs for energy will drop tremendously and therefore will pay out on the long term and we did see a reaction here on wall street because the stocks of all those solar companies they gained quite a bit for a solo for example increasing by almost five per cent and if you look at the u.s. overall yes fossil fuel is the big driver for the country but texas for example is the biggest producer of wind energy in the quarter on wall street thank you for the image of sport utility vehicles used to be of clunkers but then s.u.v.s became
