Google Puts All Of Their A.I. Stuff On Google.ai, Announces Cloud TPU

At the Google I/O 2017 developer conference day 1, Sundar Pichai has just announced a new platform called Google.ai which will host all of Google’s work and tools regarding artificial intelligence.

Google’s AI motto is “providing tools for people to do what they do better,” Pichai said. “We want it to be possible for hundreds of thousands of developers to use machine learning,” he added.

This is similar to what Google earlier did for their open source projects. The Google.ai website is online now and hosts Google’s AI projects and developer tools.

With Google.ai, we’re bringing together a collection of efforts and teams to bring the benefits of AI to everyone. #io17
