Google is getting closer to introducing its new Duplex AI into the real world, Duplex being the assistive AI that Google built to talk like a human — complete with umms, pauses and the like — as it completes basic tasks like setting hair appointments or booking a restaurant reservation.
Over “the coming weeks,” according to reports out of some private demos Google hosted with select journalists this week, Google will be rolling out real-world testing of Duplex under limited and specific circumstances.
