Google launches the first of its prepackaged AI services - SiliconANGLE

Google LLC has delivered on one of the promises it made at its recent Cloud Next conference to make its artificial intelligence services easier to implement. The cloud company today launched the first of what it calls "prepackaged AI services," which as the name suggests bundle prebuilt AI tools for specific business tasks. Google's thinking behind its prepackaged AI offerings is that companies are still in need of help in order to adopt these new technologies. The potential for AI is obvious enough, but as Google product managers Apoorv Saxena and Geordy Kitchen pointed out in a blog post, AI also requires "the need for specialized talent and hardware, the right types and quantities of data for training and refining [of] machine learning models." That's what the company is trying to address now.
