AWS AI services toss machine learning keys to dev teams

AWS hopes a sprinkling of artificial intelligence tools and services will whet the appetites of AWS users who aren't AI experts, while also keep pace with aggressive cloud competitors. AWS unveiled five artificial intelligence (AI) services for its public cloud platform at AWS re:Invent 2017. These AWS AI services include a trio of deep learning services to perform language tasks, video capabilities for existing services and even a video recorded with onboard compute. Arguably the AI highlight was Amazon SageMaker, a managed service with 10 popular machine learning algorithms to guide developers and data scientists inexperienced with AI technology. The service uses open source Jupyter notebooks to visualize Simple Storage Service (S3) data, and it can run frameworks such as TensorFlow and Apache MXNet.
