Google working on true AI?

Call me a Google fanboy, but when I hear Google talking about working on real AI I get pretty darn excited. Larry Page has been hinting at this for awhile now, I'd bet Google has some secret project in the works. Of course, Google already is a form of AI - albeit its more of a "machine intelligence" rather than a true AI in the classic sense. Imagine a service called something like "Google Assistant" accessible via a phone number which allows you to interact with an advanced software agent that can pass the turing test while giving a single point of access to all of Google's services - a personal assistant for everyone. I think we could be within 5 years of seeing something like this.
What got me thinking along these lines is this video of Larry Page talking about AI and Google...
