mother Google can drop some serious bombs at Google i/o so much so that they baked it in the name that's what Google IO stands for Google infinity and let's start off with Google Maps which gets a few upgrades and one real big one and I'm talking about a camera integration with Google Maps why would you want Google Maps in your camera well Google wants to show you an AR experience in short if you look through your camera Google will be able to show you which way you should be going it's not just that though there's also overlays of important information such as showing you points of interest and just as significant is the visual positioning system when GPS is not enough VPS will use your phone's camera and Google's extensive back-end data to analyze your surroundings to identify where you are with greater accuracy beyond that Google Maps will also allow for more personalized recommendations on places to go place it to eat and all that let's move on to Google Photos you see when you take a photo with your smartphone Google photos already allows you to edit that photo you can crop it change the brightness add filters with relative ease however in the near future the AI inside Google Photos will make editing suggestions for you based on the information in the picture you'll be able to edit your photos with just a quick tap google photos also already has the ability to scan physical photographs and digitize them soon it will be able to tell you who's in the photo and allow you to share it with the person in question in an update coming soon though you'll even be able to colorize black and white photos once again using the AI to figure out which of the items in the picture should be colorized and what color to give them it's also interesting to note that Google has decided to open up Google Photos API to third-party developers I'm interested and curious to find out how that's going to be used how do you think developers are gonna use the Google Photos API interesting question let me know in the comments below Google News is also getting a major update in his introduction to the reimagined google news sundar pichai talked about the responsibilities that Google has done millions of people who use Google News to inform their world view but pachai also mentioned the responsibility that Google has to publishers and its commitment to supporting quality journalism you see that is actually really important because it is code speak a little doublespeak throwback to the days when mother Google used to take publishers or journalists headlines and buy lines and insert them in Google search results so a searcher who was looking for a particular news could find most of what they wanted right in Google search results and not have to go to the publishers website not allowing the website to make money off their work this would make them not so friendly to Google therefore the redesigned Google News prominently features a briefing with the top five stories that Google's AI algorithms thinks are best for you the entire selection of news is in fact done using AI algorithms that gets better the more you use the app the app also pulls in local events and other local news to give you the most relevant selection of news posts and comments just for you I know what some of you are thinking you're thinking chase just get to Android P or Google duplex well those are bigger topics that have dedicated shows to them Joe is already done the Android P you should watch that it's up in the channel already and I will be putting out a dedicated show on Google duplex very soon bang-bang that love
