Google começará testes de robô que faz ligações e interage com humanos

O serviço robótico de chamadas do Google, que pode falar com os humanos para fazer uma reserva ou marcar um compromisso, está pronto para fazer seu primeiro teste público em pequena escala. Algumas empresas receberão ligações do sistema nas próximas semanas, anunciaram os desenvolvedores. O Google, porém, não revela quantas "cobaias" estariam envolvidas nesse teste. Apresentado pela primeira vez em maio, o Duplex se tornou uma das novidades mais esperadas do ano. Durante o evento de apresentação, o robô telefonou para um restaurante falando como um humano e conseguiu reservar uma mesa.

"Oi - eu estou ligando para fazer uma reserva", diz a voz feminina que começa o diálogo. "Sou o serviço de reservas automatizado do Google, por isso vou gravar esta chamada."

E assim, em pouco tempo, a reserva é concluída. Cinco pessoas, 20h, sob o nome de Valerie. Imediatamente, é perceptível que o Duplex agora se identifica explicitamente como um sistema automatizado e diz que gravará a chamada - uma adaptação para evitar violar as leis da Califórnia sobre monitoramento de chamadas telefônicas. O destinatário da chamada tem a opção de dizer "Não quero ser gravado" - ou outras palavras com esse efeito - e o sistema será desativado.

    Buy a beach cruiser and help save sea turtles on Kiawah

    Every spring, fierce female sea turtles-mostly loggerheads-make their way from the ocean to Kiawah Island during nesting season.

   From May through October, Kiawah's beaches are home to 400 nests and thousands of baby loggerheads. But many of these endangered hatchlings would not survive without the island's hands-on nest protection program. Specifícally, the Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol efforts that help 75% of hatchlings make it from their nests to the ocean. Without these efforts: less than 10% have a chance. 

   Sea turtles are an endangered species and the loggerhead turtle has been on the threatened list since 1978. Over the years, the Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol has become one of the largest volunteer turtle efforts in the United States. From relocating nests to helping hatchlings find the sea, volunteering is open to island residents and guests, and the program relies on the community to help raise awareness about the importance of nesting season.
    This May, you'11 see a custom fleet of beach cruisers with an original turtle print designed by Peter Millar at the new Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club and Residences.
    “We approached Peter Millar, a favorite on Kiawah, to design a turtle-pattemed bike as a fun way to raise our owners' awareness about the turtles and show our commitment to protecting the wildlife on Kiawah”, says Chris Burden, managing director for Timbers Kiawah.
    You don't have to be a Timbers' owner to help: the limited-edition beach cruisers are for sale to the public and 100% of the proceeds go to the turtle patrol. “Kiawah Island is one of the country's most vital nesting areas for loggerhead sea turtles and the turtle patrol is responsible for nesting patrols and monitoring efforts up and down the beach. The contributions will be used to fund their initiatives in whatever way they see fit”, Burden says. Anyone can volunteer in the nesting and hatching programs by contacting Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol.
