ProgrammableWeb's Most Interesting APIs in 2017: Cognitive Computing

This next section of interesting APIs from 2017 contains notable choices from our Artificial Intelligence (AI), Recognition, Machine Learning, Predictions, Augmented Reality, and Natural Language Processing categories, beginning with three offerings from Google plus three more from Facebook and Microsoft. Incidentally, our two most popular hashtags on Twitter (besides #API), were #AI and #MachineLearning, which must mean developers are quite interested in these categories of APIs! Google's Cloud Video Intelligence API makes it possible to scan and search videos for nearly anything thanks to machine learning. Developers can use the Google Cloud Video Intelligence API to scan every single frame of videos for specific images. This API is driven by machine learning technology and can seek out key subjects and tag metadata found in a video. Google's ARCore aims to bring augmented reality to Android handsets and other devices.
