how would you like to have a secretary on call twenty four seven well google wants to make that happen so i'm c.e.o. presenting a new feature which could soon make calls on your behalf using artificial intelligence also coming up 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 daniel 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.
7:03 am
they would leave. it for four people for p.v. . a wednesday. 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. he's experimenting hey. we're bringing what google's you know i push extends beyond its
7:04 am
mobile division these say the technology will soon streamline their photos and other desktop applications with creepy all 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 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 like the current haircut for a client i'm looking for something i may fareed to like in the wine. or
7:05 am
what time are you looking for a well. pm we do not have a bulky on the bell wall above quote that we have that is the one that. you have to have a hammer. so you see it's dealing with a difficult situation where a person 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 a bit strange when is this going to go as a 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 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
7:06 am
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 does it have to let them know in advance can only be used for reservations that whistles tying itself up in ethical knots here but let's get back to business where does it come to the bottom line whether they make money from it well that is really kind of the big question i mean you have to think back to siri the first days of digital systems 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 really 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
7:07 am
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 and last question can competitors catch up to this well that is the big question everybody's working in these. little assistance 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 that automate us i think everything will be fine thank you very much are until the. well brant crude has surged to over seventy eight dollars per barrel hovering near its highest 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 expected drop in
7:08 am
supply said the change in iranian crude output would take time the u.s. is giving bio's of iranian oil six months to wind down purchases. and yes coulter is following this for us from wall street dense 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. yes 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 seeing right now is that there is all this inflation talk going on that is driving the dollar higher because investors expect more interest rates to come and then on
7:09 am
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 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 california actually decided that already by twenty two any that all new homes have to be equipped with solar power and that is on one side 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
7:10 am
a stage 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 with a 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 first 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 total wall street thank you for the image of sport utility vehicles used to be of clunkers but then s.u.v.s became lifestyle accessories sports com a couple caused a stir when they introduced the cayenne now it's so indispensable in any

manufacturer lineup even british style what rolls royce is jumping on the s.u.v. bandwagon. well that's one way to spend money three hundred thousand euros for my bath. there's even enough room inside for a butler to take care of on the road refreshments when you're stuck in traffic. how about a bentley ben take it for two hundred ten thousand which makes even a short joint to your tax haven a pure pleasure. or into. even the wildest ride in its new cullinan is a smooth as silk luxury on the inside pure adventure on the outside but also comes at a price. if i talk u.s. dollars we are talking three hundred twenty five thousand u.s. dollars if i talk british pounds we are talking to one hundred ten thousand british pounds so it is. on that level of course before any tax and

before any additional requests u.s. customers might have when it comes to be spoken your car there are indeed countless extras for those who can afford the over five metre long. rolls royces primarily targeting baez who live in very sandy countries but not exclusively so. and particularly of color then we will see a very global worldwide market for this car which doesn't see hot spots in one only market this is truly global the market for s.u.v.s is booming worldwide one in three new registrations is an s.u.v. now even rolls royces finally have to bow to the trend after over one hundred years in the business. the comic his reputation for discretion is of course paramount even here the cullen himself are invisible to the outside world.

hijacking the news. is where i go wrong the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china churchy people are told it is us and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond it you are facing scare tactics intimidation . and i wonder is that where we're heading as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the premier and balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. when he was born golf and i were. because the german string together in one nation from shanda money to chancellor
