This is very much inline with the news that Google (Cloud) acquired Kaggle, that shows Google's interest in developing ML/AI products and deploy them and also offer AI as a Service for those who don't have AI background!

Ah at first I thought this meant google had a fund whose investment choices were being completely controlled by an AI. That would have made for a much more interesting story, oh well.

"Algorithmia" sounds like a congenital AI disease.

Yep! I'm really excited to see the future of AI on the cloud. I have a feeling it will have the same effect as AWS had to the cloud computing market: make it possible for smaller companies/teams to quickly spin up AI based products and provide better services to consumers.
