Google's new AI system Duplex makes a phone call - Page 2

Hey everyone,

Google latest artificial intelligence assistant named Duplex has been designed to perform real world tasks and they recently demonstrated it making a phone call and booking a hair appointment at a salon. The demonstration was not live and was picked from a wider pool of test calls but the A.I performed brilliantly and the person on the other end of the line had no idea they were talking to an AI! Take a look at the video.

A few people have raised concerns over people interacting with a computer without realising. What do you guys think? Would you be happy for your AI assistant making calls and booking appointments on your behalf? How would you feel getting called up by a computer program?

Good old Lucy!

This reminds me a bid of a scene in Elysium when Matt Damon's character has to deal with the robot probation officer.
