Google Cloud AutoML enhances AI accessibility for all businesses

On Wednesday, Google launched Cloud AutoML, a product that allows businesses build high-quality AI models to enhance their services or products with limited knowledge on machine learning. Cloud AutoML Vision is the first release of Google Cloud AutoML, a service that helps to build traditional ML models easier and faster for image recognition. The drag-and-drop interface of this technology allows users upload images, manage and train models, and then install those models on Google Cloud easily.

"At Google Cloud, our goal has been to lower the barrier of entry and make AI available to the largest possible community of developers, researchers, and businesses. Our Google Cloud AI team has been making good progress towards this goal," said Jia Li, Head of R&D, Cloud AI and ML.

"We believe Cloud AutoML will make AI experts even more productive, advance new fields in AI and help less-skilled engineers build powerful AI systems they previously only dreamed of," the post said.

Google said that Cloud AutoML is already facilitating some companies like Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media to create vision models to interpret its products with Disney product categories, characters, and colors. “These annotations are being integrated into our search engine to enhance the impact on Guest experience through more relevant search results, expedited discovery and product recommendations on shopDisney.” said Mike White, CTO and SVP for Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media

Though Cloud AutoML has not introduced publicly, interested organizations can request for access through this form. As Cloud AutoML Vision Alpha continues to grow, it may help tech experts get into the field.
