Google to make artificial intelligence accessible to every business

Artificial intelligence is no longer going to remain the secret sauce of giant technology companies. Google on Wednesday unveiled'Cloud AutoML'', which is aimed at helping businesses go beyond limitations of machine-learning expertise and start building their own high-quality custom models using advanced techniques provided by the Internet giant. The applications range from automating product attributes like patterns and necklines styles for clothing companies to helping various organisations conserve the world's wildlife by analysing and tagging millions of images of various animal species. "There are bigger, greater opportunities waiting to be unlocked by AI," said Fei-Fei Li, chief scientist of AI and machine learning at Google Cloud, during a webcast with reporters. Google said the new platform would help less-skilled engineers build powerful AI systems they previously only "dreamed of".
