DeepMind boss 'would pay thousands of dollars per month' to get rid of his email, so Google is working on a next-gen Gmail AI that will answer them in 'your style—and maybe make some of the easier decisions' for you

My Gmail inbox currently has 84,685 unread emails. Were there an AI tool that could clear my backlog automatically, let's just say you could sign me up and take my money. It's the only way I'm going to achieve inbox hygiene (there's always the trashcan button - Ed.). Rejoice, then, because the head of Google DeepMind says they're working on a next-gen Gmail that can answer emails for you.

Yep, Demis Hassabis has been speaking at the SXSW London festival (via the Guardian) about all things AI.
