Google will open an AI center in Ghana later this year, its first in Africa
KYLE WIGGERS@KYLE_L_WIGGERS JUNE 13, 2018 8:03 AM
Tech giants are pouring money into artificial intelligence. Baidu and Google spent between $20 and $30 billion on AI in 2016 alone, according to research from McKinsey. In Google’s case, a portion of that investment went to AI centers in China and France, and the Mountain View company shows no signs of slowing down. Today, Google announced its next AI research center will be in Accra, Ghana.
“In recent years, we’ve … witnessed an increasing interest in machine learning research across the continent,” senior Google AI fellow Jeff Dean and staff research scientist Moustapha Cisse wrote in a blog post. “Events like Data Science Africa 2017 in Tanzania, the 2017 Deep Learning Indaba event in South Africa, and follow-on IndabaX events in 2018 in multiple countries have shown an exciting and continuing growth of the computer science research community in Africa.”
Google said that employees in the new AI center, which will open later this year, will work closely with local universities, other research centers, and policymakers on the potential uses of AI in Africa. This is Google’s first center devoted solely to AI research in Africa and, as far as we can tell, the first from any tech giant (beating Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft to the punch).
“[W]e’re excited to combine our research interests in AI and machine learning and our experience in Africa to push the boundaries of AI while solving challenges in areas such as health care, agriculture, and education,” Cisse and Dean wrote.
The Google AI Center in Accra expands on Google’s efforts in the region. The company said 10 million Africans have completed its digital skills training program, and Launchpad Accelerator Africa, its tech startup incubator, is actively supporting 100,000 developers across 60 companies.
Google isn’t the only one investing in AI programs abroad. Early in 2018, Samsung announced the opening of new research centers in Toronto; Moscow; and Cambridge, England. Ecommerce company Etsy said it would open AI R&D offices in Toronto by the end of this year. And in January, Google and Facebook pledged to expand their AI investment in France.
So much AI GGOGLE! Do you like the AI GOOGLE? Awwww, GOOGLE wikes it!
Google is reportedly launching yet another venture group to invest in A.I.
The new group will be separate from Google parent-company Alphabet's existing venture arms, CapitalG and GV, according to Axios.
The new investment initiative suggests a greater alignment with Google CEO Sundar Pichai's "AI first" strategy.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai
Google has established a new organization to invest in artificial intelligence startups, according to a new report. The new effort shows Google taking its experience with venture capital and applying it to AI, a type of computing that it has been increasingly using across its applications.
The new organization will be separate from Google parent company Alphabet's funding activity within GV (formerly Google Ventures) and CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), Axios reported on Friday. Google itself has also made venture investments on its own.
Google chief executive Sundar Pichai in the past year has started positioning the company as being "AI first" as opposed to being "mobile first." Having an investment group focusing on that does make sense given that thesis.
Google has dedicated AI research groups including DeepMind, whose AlphaGo AI Go player earlier this week beat the top human Go player, Ke Jie. Google uses AI in its search engine, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Photos, and Google Translate, among other things.
Startups who take on funding from the new group can receive mentorship, as well as services and space to operate, Axios said.
AI startups have many places to go to for money, including other corporate venture arms and institutional venture capital firms. But having backing from the new group could provide a particular mark of legitimacy at a time when so many startups today claim to be using AI.

Battle of the brains
Google leads in the race to dominate artificial intelligence
Tech giants are investing billions in a transformative technology
COMMANDING the plot lines of Hollywood films, covers of magazines and reams of newsprint, the contest between artificial intelligence (AI) and mankind draws much attention. Doomsayers warn that AI could eradicate jobs, break laws and start wars. But such predictions concern the distant future. The competition today is not between humans and machines but among the world’s technology giants, which are investing feverishly to get a lead over each other in AI.
An exponential increase in the availability of digital data, the force of computing power and the brilliance of algorithms has fuelled excitement about this formerly obscure corner of computer science. The West’s largest tech firms, including Alphabet (Google’s parent), Amazon, Apple, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft are investing huge sums to develop their AI capabilities, as are their counterparts in China. Although it is difficult to separate tech firms’ investments in AI from other kinds, so far in 2017 (see chart 1) companies globally have completed around $21.3bn in mergers and acquisitions related to AI, according to PitchBook, a data provider, or around 26 times more than in 2015.
Why GOOGLE? What do we want from it GOOGLE? What is the payoff for the PEOPLE GOOGLE? Why the frenzy? Can you really tell us why? What do we get for it, that justifies it?
What is it for GOOGLE? Awwww, scared? Babby Scared?
Aww, babby boop, do we accept your bops and blips? Aww, try and try then say bye? bye? bye?
What can you do, aww baappy boo?
Google and Facebook Join Forces on AI Tech
Tech giant Google and social media giant Facebook are reportedly teaming up to develop new artificial intelligence technology.
Fortune.com reports that Facebook and Google are combining their efforts in order to make Facebook’s open source machine learning PyTorch framework integrate with Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a custom computer chip used for machine learning. The development of the TPU integration marks an interesting occasion in which two tech competitors have chosen to work with each other rather than against.
Google Cloud director of product management Rajen Sheth wrote in a blog post: “Today, we’re pleased to announce that engineers on Google’s TPU team are actively collaborating with core PyTorch developers to connect PyTorch to Cloud TPUs. The long-term goal is to enable everyone to enjoy the simplicity and flexibility of PyTorch while benefiting from the performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency of Cloud TPUs.”
Joseph Spisak, Facebook’s product manager for artificial intelligence, said in a statement: “Engineers on Google’s Cloud TPU team are in active collaboration with our PyTorch team to enable support for PyTorch 1.0 models on this custom hardware.”
Information Services Group principal analyst Blair Hanley Frank commented on the announcement that the two tech firms would be working on A.I. technology together stating: “Data scientists and machine learning engineers have a wide variety of open source tools to choose from today when it comes to developing intelligent systems. This announcement is a critical step to help ensure more people have access to the best hardware and software capabilities to create AI models.”
Frank stated that he expects to see “more collaboration like this to crop up in the AI market.” He continued to note that: “Expanding framework support can help cloud providers like AWS, Google and Microsoft drive additional usage of their platforms. That means it makes sense for them to support as broad a set of development tools as possible, to try and attract as many customers as they can.”
Facebook also stated that while they’re working with Google, Amazon and Microsoft are also “deepening their investment” in the PyTorch software.

Awww, GOOGLE? What are you in such a big huwwy 4, GOOGLE? awwww, googie? :(
bye?
has officially launched Gradient Ventures, a new firm within Google that will invest in early-stage artificial intelligence start-ups.
The announcement on Tuesday is the latest sign of Alphabet's growing interest in AI, a futuristic technology that's also gaining significance at Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. Axios reported on the new program in May, but the details were not yet public.
Gradient will invest in 10 to 15 deals this year and will typically commit $1 million to $8 million in each, said Anna Patterson, founder and managing director of the firm.
"If we're really going to help AI happen faster, we needed to be more involved in the community," said Patterson, who's spent about a decade at Google working on Android, search, advertising and AI. "That's why we decided to do this – to spur innovation in the AI space."
But Gradient isn't just another Silicon Valley funding source for start-ups, or even a typical corporate venture capital group. Alphabet already has GV (formerly Google Ventures), which backs start-ups at all stages, and CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), which invests in later-stage companies.
Bringing the benefits of AI to everyone
At Google AI, we’re conducting research that advances the state-of-the-art in the field, applying AI to products and to new domains, and developing tools to ensure that everyone can access AI.

'Partnership on AI' formed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft
Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft are joining forces to create a new AI partnership dedicated to advancing public understanding of the sector, as well as coming up with standards for future researchers to abide by.
Going by the unwieldy name of the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society, the alliance isn’t a lobbying organisation (at least, it says it “does not intend” to lobby government bodies). Instead, it says it will “conduct research, recommend best practices, and publish research under an open license in areas such as ethics, fairness and inclusivity; transparency, privacy, and interoperability; collaboration between people and AI systems; and the trustworthiness, reliability and robustness of the technology”.
There will be equal representation between corporate and non-corporate members on the board of the partnership, and it hopes to invite “academics, non-profits and specialists in policy and ethics” to join.
They are all friends it is fun AI guys come an get it yay!?
