Google is extending its push into artificial intelligence with a new European research centre dedicated to advancing the technology.<\/p>\n
Based in Zurich, the team will focus on three areas – machine learning, natural language understanding and computer perception.<\/p>\n
Emmanuel Mogenet, who will head the unit, said much of the research would be on teaching machines common sense.<\/p>\n
There was, he said, “no limit on how big I grow the team”.<\/p>\n
“We are very ambitious in terms of growth. The only limiting factor will be talent,” he told journalists gathered in Zurich to hear more about Google’s AI plans.<\/p>\n
