Google races against AWS, Microsoft to bring AI to developers ZDNet

The cloud is disrupting traditional operating models for IT departments and entire organizations. At the Google Cloud Next conference in San Francisco Tuesday, Google laid out how it's bringing artificial intelligence to developers, as well as integrating more AI capabilities throughout its cloud products. Artificial intelligence has long been a cornerstone of Google Cloud's value proposition, but to win more customers it needs to make those capabilities more accessible. It also has to contend with Amazon Web Services and the fast-growing Microsoft Azure, which have been building up their own AI-powered offerings and creating their own plans for lowering the barrier to entry. During the Day One Next keynote, Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene noted that Google is heavily investing in two key areas: AI and security.
