Google's Rick Osterloh touted his company's combination of hardware, software and artificial intelligence technology at its Pixel 3 event. Google Duplex, technology to let human-sounding AI accomplish tasks by talking to people over the phone, will arrive in the real world starting in November on Google's Pixel phones. "Our new Google Assistant feature, powered by Duplex technology, is able to help users with real-world tasks over a phone, like calling a restaurant to book a table," said Brian Rakowski, a vice president of product management, at the Google Pixel 3 launch event Tuesday. "Pixel phones will be the first to get this feature when it rolls out, city by city, next month." That indicates the arrival will be gradual and won't reach the vast majority of people who don't have Google's own smartphones.
