Google reveals it's working on a convincingly human-sounding assistant that can perform phone tasks for you, for example booking a restaurant table or hair appointment. We broadcast live from London's V&A Museum for the opening of a new exhibition "The Future Starts Here" on how intelligent tech is being designed into the world around us. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with Chris Foxx, BBC Online tech reporter, and Rory Hyde, co-curator at the V&A.
