5月18日,在谷歌(Google)舉辦的年度I/O開(kāi)發(fā)者大會(huì)上,該公司發(fā)布了照片服務(wù)、安卓操作系統(tǒng)和人工智能的升級(jí)。
今年的開(kāi)發(fā)者大會(huì)在谷歌位于加州山景城的園區(qū)進(jìn)行,通過(guò)線上渠道展開(kāi)。本次活動(dòng)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注了未來(lái)的工作、隱私掌控、無(wú)碳能源運(yùn)營(yíng)等方方面面的內(nèi)容。
谷歌母公司的首席執(zhí)行官桑達(dá)爾?皮查伊在大會(huì)開(kāi)幕式上承認(rèn)了新冠病毒對(duì)世界的影響,并提及了目前受疫情影響最嚴(yán)重的國(guó)家,比如印度和巴西。他還表示,科技將繼續(xù)在疫情期間發(fā)揮重要作用。
“一直以來(lái),I/O是關(guān)于技術(shù)改善生活的慶典。”皮查伊說(shuō),“我仍然樂(lè)觀地認(rèn)為,技術(shù)可以幫助我們解決共同面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。”
以下是I/O大會(huì)中的一些關(guān)鍵內(nèi)容。
新照片功能
Google Photos很快就會(huì)有新功能:包括讓用戶對(duì)一個(gè)物體拍多張照片的時(shí)候,進(jìn)行動(dòng)畫(huà)處理。在機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)的幫助下,谷歌將能夠填補(bǔ)缺失幀之間的空白。
用戶還可以選擇他們不想看到的記憶(例如照片和視頻)。比如,用戶能夠通過(guò)設(shè)置前任或其他人物的照片,告訴谷歌自己不想再看到這些照片。
此外,谷歌還推出了一個(gè)有密碼保護(hù)的文件夾,供希望保持照片私密的用戶使用,即使朋友或家人拿到手機(jī),也要輸入密碼才可以打開(kāi)。該文件夾中的照片不會(huì)在Google Photos的任何區(qū)域出現(xiàn)。這一功能將首次在谷歌的Pixel手機(jī)上推出,之后將在其他安卓設(shè)備上推出。
最后,谷歌表示,正在努力改進(jìn)谷歌設(shè)備上的攝像頭,以更好地表現(xiàn)深色膚色和卷發(fā)。在整個(gè)行業(yè)范圍內(nèi),移動(dòng)設(shè)備的攝像頭往往很難調(diào)節(jié)光線、顏色和焦點(diǎn),讓有色人種和他們的頭發(fā)明顯表現(xiàn),使得最終的效果跟淺膚色的人沒(méi)有多少差別。
數(shù)字汽車鑰匙
谷歌正在推出一款數(shù)字汽車鑰匙,用戶能夠通過(guò)手機(jī)鎖車、解鎖以及啟動(dòng)汽車。這一功能還可以讓用戶遠(yuǎn)程分享數(shù)字汽車鑰匙。
這款依靠近場(chǎng)通信技術(shù)的數(shù)字汽車鑰匙,將于今年秋季在部分谷歌Pixel和三星(Samsung)Galaxy智能手機(jī)上首次亮相。谷歌表示,其也在與寶馬(BMW)及其他汽車制造商合作,在即將推出的車型中引入這一功能。
去年,蘋(píng)果公司(Apple)發(fā)布了名為CarKey的數(shù)字汽車鑰匙。蘋(píng)果用戶能夠?qū)④囪€匙儲(chǔ)存在iPhone或Apple Watch上的蘋(píng)果錢(qián)包中,并與最多五個(gè)人共享鑰匙。
皮膚病診斷工具
谷歌宣布了一款由人工智能驅(qū)動(dòng)的新工具,旨在幫助人們獲得有關(guān)常見(jiàn)皮膚病的信息。用戶可以用手機(jī)拍攝自己的皮膚狀況,然后導(dǎo)航至這一網(wǎng)絡(luò)工具,了解更多信息。該工具將要求用戶從不同角度拍攝三張照片,回答一組問(wèn)題,之后人工智能會(huì)分析288種皮膚狀況的數(shù)據(jù),找出可能的病情匹配。
谷歌表示,該工具并不能取代專業(yè)醫(yī)療建議,目前尚未發(fā)布,但其已經(jīng)通過(guò)了歐盟的臨床驗(yàn)證。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Google revealed upgrades to its photo service, Android operating system, and artificial intelligence on May 18 at its annual I/O developer conference.
This year’s event, hosted virtually from the company's Mountain View, Calif. campus, focused on everything from the future of work to privacy controls to a to operate on carbon-free energy.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google's parent company, opened the conference by acknowledging the impact of the coronavirus on the world, including in countries currently hit the hardest like India and Brazil. He also suggested that tech will continue to serve an important role during the pandemic.
“I/O has always been a celebration of technology and its ability to improve lives,” Pichai said. “I remain optimistic that technology can help us address the challenges we face together.”
Here are three of Google's key announcements on May 18.
New photo features
Google Photos will soon have new features including letting users animate their photos if they take more than one shot of the same thing. With the help of machine learning, Google will be able to fill the gaps between the missing frames.
Users will also be able to choose what memories—photos and videos that Google resurfaces as highlights—they don’t want to see. For example, users could tell the service not to resurface images of their former spouses or significant others by changing the setting on those photos.
Additionally, Google debuted a password-protected folder for users who want to keep photos private on their device, even if a friend or family member gets ahold of it. The photos in that folder won’t show up in any other parts of Google Photos. The feature will debut on Google Pixel phones and later on other Android devices.
Finally, Google said it is working to improve the cameras on Google devices to better represent dark skin tones and curly hair. Industry wide, mobile device cameras have often struggled to adjust the lighting, color, and focus to represent people of color and their hair as well as they do for lighter-skinned people.
Digital car keys
Google is introducing a digital car key, that lets users lock, unlock, and start their cars from their phones. The feature will also let users remotely share their digital car keys with others.
The digital car key, which relies on near-field communication technology, is to debut in the fall on some Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Google said it’s also working with BMW and other carmakers, though it didn't specify which ones, to bring the capability to their upcoming cars.
Last year, Apple released its version of the digital car key, called, well, CarKey. Apple users can store their CarKey in their Apple wallets on their iPhone or Apple Watch, and share the keys with up to five other people.
Skin diagnostic tool
Google announced a new tool powered by artificial intelligence that aims to help people connect to information about common skin ailments. People can use their phones to photograph their skin conditions, and then navigate to the web-based tool to learn more. The tool will ask users to take three photos from different angles and then answer a set of questions. Artificial intelligence then analyzes data from a collection of 288 skin conditions to surface possible matches.
The tool, which Google said is not a replacement for professional medical advice, is unreleased. But it has passed clinical validation in the European Union, Google said.
