Bringing Intelligence to Enterprise Content Management, Google Releases Document Understanding AI

At the recent Google Cloud Next Conference, Google announced a new beta machine learning service, called Document Understanding AI. The service targets Enterprise Content Management (ECM) workloads by allowing customers to organize, classify and extract key value pairs from unstructured content, in the enterprise, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Gartner and Forbes estimate that 80% of enterprise data is unstructured and 70% of enterprise data is free-form text like emails, written documents and comments. With the amount of data in enterprise organizations, Google perceives an opportunity to use AI and ML to address enterprise content challenges. Many enterprises see the value in applying AI and machine learning to their business challenges, but not all have the necessary resources to do it.
