Google offers an artificial intelligence system for the iOS Gmail app

A new step towards the democratization of this advancing technology.

The world of tomorrow will be based on AI, the firms are convinced. In the meantime, functions come gradually, allowing to take advantage of the additions offered by such technology. Today, it is the turn of the iPhone to enjoy it via the Gmail application developed by Google and to receive emails. A widely used service whose deployment of the new function based on artificial intelligence could make people happy. But then what exactly is this novelty?

An AI that detects important mails or not
Google offers for iOS devices, mainly iPhone but also iPad, to detect the mails that are important. A function based on machine learning - literally machine learning - to allow the AI ​​to manage itself. When Gmail finds an email that seems important, a notification will be sent to the user if the latter authorizes the application of this new function. It remains to know what will actually be based on the AI ​​to define what may seem to be an urgent message - or not.

We will have to wait for the first user feedback on iOS to discover if the artificial intelligence of Google for Gmail is effective. If so, we can expect a future deployment for Android, operating system developed by the company Mountain View. Artificial intelligence is taking its first steps and this function seems to be a good opportunity to test machine learning. Note that the ability to receive a notification when the mail is important is disabled by default. You have to take a tour in the settings of Gmail to activate it.
