Google Rules AI, with TensorFlow at Foundation, Leadership in Core Products - AI Trends

The way Google came from nowhere with the launch of Android in 2007 to today dominating the smartphone operating system market, is what the company is doing now with AI, some market observers suggest. Google now has an 80 percent share of the worldwide smartphone OS market, and it has seeded the AI market by making its TensorFlow software library open source, putting it at the foundation of many AI applications, suggests a recent account in Analytics Insight. Some 50 Google products use TensorFlow to build deep learning applications to help differentiate companions in Photos to refinements in the core search engine. Google has become a machine learning organization. The authors state, "Google has gone through the most recent three years constructing a gigantic platform for artificial intelligence and now they're unleashing it on the world."
