I don't know whether other people do this, but when using voice recognition software, such as Google's, I "learn" what it is likely to understand, and then modify my statements to be more easily understood by the software. This is very useful when sending text messages, for example. I am able to quickly send a message in just a moment.
However, because of Google's limitations, the language I use is modified. Their "AI" is shaping my use of language, and thus, how I communicate with others. Multiply this by millions (billions?) of people, and this could have a real impact on culture.
What is Google's responsibility, in this regard? Certainly they shouldn't ignore the ways their technology could affect society. They should be making conscious, deliberate decisions. This is dangerous territory; and not an easy one to navigate. I am glad they seem to recognize that.
