Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, expressed a strong desire to get rid of emails and mentioned willingness to pay thousands of dollars per month for an AI solution.
Google is developing a next-gen Gmail AI that can understand and respond to emails in the user's style, potentially making easier decisions for them.
The technology raises questions about the effectiveness of AI handling personal communications, potential back-and-forth interactions between Gmail bots, and the use of AI to protect users from attention-grabbing algorithms.
Hassabis also highlighted the role of AI in protecting individual attention from competing algorithms, hinting at a future where AI assistants shield users from intrusive technologies.
