Google CEO Eric Schmidt is quite the quotable male — you hear he’s flattering talkative during coffee shops, too — and at the Techonomy conference, he hasn’t failed to defect. First, some cold hard data: according to Schmidt, about 200,000 new Android devices have been being sole any day, which he claims is up from 100,000 everyday sales about dual months ago (and up from the 60,000 everyday activations from April). That number is just one season from the stream of good news for a platform this week, together with 866 percent year-over-year expansion and the tip mark in NPD’s sales rankings. We’re fairly assured there’s a team of tip mathematicians, statisticians, and engineers in Mountain View right right away tasked with anticipating brand-new as well as innovative ways to exaggerate about Android’s success.

Speaking of Techonomy, Schmidt used a little of his on-stage time to discuss the new concerns record has engendered. “The technology of march is neutral but multitude is not essentially ready,” he said, claiming AI currently could really likely use location-based services and predict where the person was starting subsequent, between alternative nightmares for privacy advocates. Schmidt opines that it’s up to a multitude upon how the collected information is regulated whilst computers do what they do best — gather and stop report. We like think darling kitten cinema falls easily into that latter category, as well as that’s all we care about anyhow.
