Google want to set the standard artificial intelligence .
To influence how people develop, test and run artificial intelligence systems , the web company is offering free your inner IA software development.
A subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. is launching a program called TensorFlow as an open source software freely available, the company said on Monday . It is based on the same internal system that Google took several years to develop in order to support its AI software and other mathematically complex programs.
The artificial intelligence is the product base as personal assistants, like Google Now and Cortana, Microsoft.
It also allows the social network Facebook and Google’s software automatically identify and mark the image uploaded content to their systems.
It also makes it possible to completely new product categories, from the autonomous cars Tesla and Google to the new forms of entertainment in virtual reality applications that are being developed by Facebook to your virtual reality system, the Oculus.
With the release of TensorFlow, anyone can download and modify the software development that supports the RankBrain, the feeder portion of IA of the Google search engine, and new features such as your tool e-mail Smart Reply, Google wrote in a blog post.
Companies like Google, Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp. They are trying to influence the development of IA.
For this, are expanding teams of research laboratories, publishing academic research papers, making presentations at conferences and even giving lectures as guests at universities.
They are betting that, to be open, they may convince talented academics to work for them and at the same time encourage the community, more broadly, working on new AI technologies.
Other companies, like Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. were more sensitive in the past but now they are trying to be more open.
Standard Tools
The companies are also trying to guide the development of IA.
The Facebook released the open source Torch, an AI development tool used by DeepMind a subsidiary of Google, AMD, Intel and other companies. The Twitter announced its first contribution to the Torch on Friday.
Microsoft, for its part, has published numerous joint programs and AI data as open source.
When launching the TensorFlow, Google seeks to transform the software built to develop and run their own AI systems in part of the set of standard tools used by researchers, said Jason Freidenfelds, the Google spokesman, which is based in Mountain View, California, USA. The decision could also help Google to identify potential talent.
The Google shared the TensorFlow with a small group of people before its release, he said.
Christopher Manning, a professor of Linguistics and Computer Science at Stanford University, has written, along with two students, AI programs using TensorFlow.
He says the system can perform much faster than other tools and includes features that take a long time to program operations such as fine-tuning systems that operate on graphics processing units from companies like Nvidia Corp.
The main factor that can define success or failure of TensorFlow is the involvement of Google with the open source community that adopts it.
“As a researcher, a tool that makes you faster is quite attractive,” said Manning. “Based on the evidence available to me at the time, I think it will be widely adopted.”
