Google's new artificial intelligence tool has massive potential

The search function in Google Photos uses TensorFlow. Google made waves Monday when it made its new artificial intelligence system TensorFlow open source. Google has used TensorFlow for the past year for a variety of applications. For example, Google Photos is scary good at search because it uses TensorFlow to recognize places based on popular landmarks or characteristics, like the Yosemite National Park mountain range. Other Google products that use TensorFlow include Google search, Google's voice recognition app, and Google Translate.
