“Making AI accessible to every businees” with image classifiers (because every businees needs image classifiers) ^_^

And even if every business did need an image classifier, they would still need a technical person that understands how this AutoML model they train can be integrated into business processes or software applications...

Not everyone _needs_ accessibility ramps, but we all benefit from them. :) Many businesses need them, but don't have the staff or expertise, many may want them for fun functionality (building their own "Not Hotdog" app), but the aim is ease of model creation for anyone with a bit of data and time. (Disclosure: I work in Google Cloud)

  I get that it's a metaphor, but I seriously am having a hard time equating automated image classification to accessibility ramps.

    You wouldn't if you worked at Google.

      Because google is notoriously bad at profitable products, besides search?

Leaving aside for a sec how capable and complex this is, an extra set of eyes seems like a useful thing for manufacturing businesses.

  Manufacturing recognition require speed and probably 99.999% up time, I didn’t see anything that can guarantee this and the fact that they are on the cloud almost certainly doesn’t guarantee this. It would require local or very close to the edge connection to get manufacturing to practically use this

FYI this is Cloud AutoML Vision being showcased here as the first of a suite of AI services that can learn to learn efficiently in different domains. The overall vision is to democratize AI and this is intended to be a meaningful step in that direction. (Disclaimer: I work for Google but not on this.)
