Did Google just declare war?

With all the news that came out of Google I/O 2016, Walt and Nilay look at the big picture and discuss the future of the industry. Google is playing catch up with big announcements of AI, an Amazon Echo competitor, and video and messaging apps, but will they win over users? And with Google’s brain integrated into almost everything you do online, what is the privacy sacrifice you will be making? Dive into this week’s episode of Ctrl-Walt-Delete to hear what our experts think.
