 The Guardian has an article on technologist Ray Kurzeil's move to Google that also serves to review how the search company are building an artificial intelligence super lab.
Google has also hired some of the world's leading artificial intelligence researchers:Geoff Hinton, Demis Hassabis, Andrew Ng and Ray Kurzweil just for starters.
They are all experts in machine learning - which some would say is quite a limited form of AI that doesn't specifically aim to model itself on human thinking.
But it is clearly the most useful in allowing machines to make conceptual connections from fuzzy data. In particular, a technique called deep learning has proved to be a huge leap forward.
It works best when it has large data sets to work on. Essentially, large data sets make deep learning useful and this is why Google sees its future in AI.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that the universe had existed forever. The reason humanity was not more developed, he believed, was that floods or other natural disasters repeatedly set civilization back to the beginning.
Today, humans are developing ever faster. Our knowledge is growing exponentially and with it, our technology. But humans still have the instincts, and in particular the aggressive impulses, that we had in caveman days. Aggression has had definite advantages for survival, but when modern technology meets ancient aggression the entire human race and much of the rest of life on Earth is at risk./.../
