請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題If you want to know where Google is headed, look through Google Lens. The artificially intelligent,augmented reality feature seemed to generate the most interest at Google’s developer conference. Of allannouncements, it best encapsulated what Google’s transition to an “AI first” company means. Google’s CEOSundar Pichai underscored the tool as a key reflection of Google’s direction. “All of Google was built because westarted understanding text and web pages. So the fact that computers can understand images and videos hasprofound implications for our core mission,” he said so in his introduction of Lens.During a demo, Google showed off how you could point your camera at something and Lens would tell youwhat it is－like, it could identify the flower you’re preparing to shoot. In another example, Pichai showed howLens could do a common task－connecting you to a home’s Wi-Fi network by snapping a photo of the sticker onthe router. A third example was a photo of a business’s storefront－and Google Lens could pull up the name,rating and other business listing information in a card that appeared over the photo.The technology basically turns the camera from a passive tool that’s capturing the world around you to onethat’s allowing you to interact with what’s in your camera’s viewfinder. Later, during a Google Homedemonstration, the company showed how Lens would be integrated into Google Assistant. Through a new buttonin the Assistant app, users will be able to launch Lens and insert a photo into the conversation with the Assistant,where it can process the data the photo contains. To show how this could work, Google’s Scott Huffman holds hiscamera up to a concert marquee for a Stone Foxes show and Google Assistant pulls up info on ticket sales. “Addthis to my calendar,” he says－and it does. The integration of Lens into Assistant can also help with translations.Huffman demonstrates this by holding up his camera to a sign in Japanese, tapping the Lens icon and saying “Whatdoes this say?” Google Assistant then translates the text.Pichai said in his founders’ letter a year ago that part of this shift to being an AI first company meantcomputing would be less device-centric. Lens is an example of being less device-centric, on mobile. Thetechnology behind Lens is essentially nothing new, and that also tells us something about where Google is going.This is not to say that Google is done coming up with new technologies, but that there are a lot of capabilities thecompany is still putting together into useful products.
