Google Rolls Out New Machine Learning Platform

Google is making it easier for companies to take advantage of the machine learning (ML) revolution with an offering that allows creation of custom machine learning models. The company on Wednesday showed off its new AI product that it is making available to folks outside of the Internet giant. With machine learning, applications are able to learn or adjust on their own without help from human developers. According to Tech Crunch, the search giant's chairman, Eric Schmidt said that Google believes machine learning is "what's next." With the new cloud service, the Internet giant will make it easier to employ some of the machine learning tech the company already uses to power features like Smart Reply in Inbox.
