PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Artificial intelligence and machine-learning models can be part of everyday technology available to businesses with any size budget, even those that lack dedicated in-house engineers, with Google's new cloud service.

The U.S. tech company launched Cloud AutoML, a custom-built AI system creation service, on Wednesday for select customers, with plans to offer it to a wider range of users at an undisclosed price. For now, it is providing a user-friendly service for building an advanced image-recognition system, which can be used for identifying certain pictures based on a set of conditions.
