Duplex is an artificial intelligence capable of impersonating a human being

Artificial intelligence is advancing by leaps and bounds in recent years, a proof of this is that Google has been showing an artificial intelligence assistant called " Duplex ", who can call people and interact with them quite naturally, exactly as would make a human being.

Duplex can talk to you without you knowing that it is a robot

Google CEO Sundar Pichai showed how the bot at the IO Duplex conference could convene people and book an appointment for hairdressers. The assistant went through the entire booking process, without the person on the other end of the call realizing he was talking to a robot, Duplex even used pauses and "ums" and "mmm-hmms" to sound more human, Something impressive that demonstrates the great advance that is being achieved in the field of artificial intelligence.

Duplex is able to understand complex sentences, quick words and long comments, as well as naturally converse and make an appointment, before sending the notification to the user to confirm the reservation. This raises the question of what will happen if one bot talks to another bot and whether they should be required to identify themselves as robots at the start of a conversation.

Google claims that it is capable of building full bots out of people's voices, the company recorded just a few phrases of choice by popular comedian beat John Legend, which were then synthesized using artificial intelligence in a voice that could say anything and sound like the singer. This means that Duplex could have any voice, making it difficult to recognize when it is not a real person.
