Google, Facebook, Microsoft 2018 plans and beyond: AI, Data Privacy and Augmented Reality

Google, Facebook and Microsoft all gave spectacular 1.5 hour presentations about their plans for 2018 at their developer conferences. Let’s summarize some of my highlights! Google introduces a AI calling assistent that can make appointments for you while interaction with real people while making it feel like a real human conversation! Google Lens let’s you point you’re camera at anything at get real time information; copy words on a page directly to text to your phone and turn black and white pictures to color. They’re also introducing Augmented Maps.

Facebook was talking a lot about solving privacy issues, fake news and security. Also did they introduce incredible 3D pictures and Augmented photo’s.

Last but not least I was impressed by Microsoft’s VR Assistant feature where you can work together with experts and see what the other person sees and their system that automatically takes notes during a meeting, that’s definitely something I wanna use!
