Google launches support hub for AI start-ups

As part of the expansion of its Developers Launchpad platform, Google has announced a new AI Studio designed to provide technical and product support to entrepreneurs working within the artificial intelligence and machine learning space.

Google says it is offering services (not funding) to these start-ups, which will include providing a physical incubation space at its Launchpad Studio in San Francisco where they will have access to Google's Applied AI integration toolkit, product validation support, AI experts including Peter Norvig, and access to Silicon Valley VCs.

Accessible

This support hub comes out of Google’s series of recent announcements on plans to make AI more accessible, useful to start-ups, and to lead to scalable products. Developers Launchpad already uses its space to host mentoring sessions, accelerator boot camps, technical training and community events including Women Techmakers.
