Google's director of engineering and futurist in chief claims the search giant is on its way to developing search engines that understand and interpret human logic and feelings.
In an interview with Wired, Ray Kurzweil, whose mission at Google is "to develop natural language understanding," explains that the company is making strides towards understanding complex natural language and with it the ability to move well beyond recognizing keywords and on to understanding the emotional and intelligent content of web pages and of users' search requests.
