HWM Singapore – June 2019

LEARN / BESMARTER

Google had a bunch of exciting announcements at its I/O developer conference this year.

Predictably, arti cial intelligence played a big role in what the company had to show off,

from a localized Assistant on your phone to a more powerful Google Lens.

However, the search giant also touched on some interesting points about how it’s making its AI

better while still protecting your privacy. Machine learning models rely a lot on being fed data, but

because they mostly come down to recognizing and interpreting patterns, it’s possible for bias to be

introduced. Furthermore, some of the data being provided to these algorithms include how you use

your device, so there are understandable concerns about how your information is being utilized.
