One focus for Google Cloud is increasing customer adoption of AI by offering a wide range of machine learning services at all levels. Launched last year, Cloud AutoML is aimed at developers with limited expertise that still want to train and leverage models.
Earlier this year, Google launched Cloud AutoML Vision in alpha after unveiling at I/O 2017 as a way for neural networks to design better neural nets. At Cloud Next 18, Google is launching AutoML Natural Language and AutoML Translation in beta, along with other updates to core services.
At I/O 2017, Sundar Pichai announced a new, better way to design machine learning models that would help democratize access beyond organizations with deep benches of AI researchers and PhDs. Today, Google Cloud announced AutoML as a consumer product aimed at businesses and developers that don’t have ML expertise.
