From the Speech:
Google CEO Sundar Pichai in this year’s letter to the stockholders said over time the computer itself whatever its form factor will be an intelligent assistant helping you through your day will move from mobile first to an AI first world.
That means for Google, a company that started out with the goal of making information universally accessible it’s now the doing with these systems that really matters.
