Alphabet Inc’s Google is introducing a new product that lets datacentre customers tap the search engine’s artificial-intelligence arsenal, part of the company’s effort to stand out in the competitive cloud-computing market. 

The product, called Cloud AutoML, is aimed at companies with limited experience in AI. It uses a business’s data to automatically generate machine-learning models – computing systems that can crunch and parse huge swaths of information. Google is starting with vision, allowing companies to classify images more effectively, but plans to release the tool for analyzing text, speech and video.
