Meet Meena, Google's most advanced conversational artificial intelligence

Google is working towards its best digital assistant that is capable of having a conversation based Artificial Intelligence (AI) model known as Meena.

Meena, a neural network that has 2.6 billion parameters, is a multi-turn open-domain chatbot and claimed to be better than any other AI chatbot available in the market.

Conversational AI is a comprehensive term used to natural language models for AI that understand human language, speak and completes tasks given in simple words.

The Human-Powered Companies That Make AI Work

The hidden secret of artificial intelligence is that much of it is actually powered by humans. Well, to be specific, the supervised learning algorithms that have gained much of the attention recently are dependent on humans to provide well-labeled training data that can be used to train machine learning algorithms. Since machines have to first be taught, they can’t teach themselves (yet), so it falls upon the capabilities of humans to do this training. This is the secret achilles heel of AI: the need for humans to teach machines the things that they are not yet able to do on their own.

5 Soon-to-Be Trends in Artificial Intelligence And Deep Learning

Artificial intelligence is frequently discussed yet it’s too early to show real gains. AI’s major headwind is the cost of the investment, which will skew returns in the short-term. When the turnaround occurs, however, companies who are making the investment can expect to be rewarded disproportionately with a wide performance gap. In a recent report, McKinsey predicts AI leaders will see up to double the cash flow.
