Google recently open sourced its Artificial Intelligence engine, Tensorflow. You can follow developments here. It indicates a world where Google stands to gain more by letting the world develop some of its algorithms than holding on to it as a core asset, which was the approach with search and many of its other services before. It also indicates a world where Google probably considers data as its core asset and is willing to bet on algorithms developed by the community to drive shareholder value. This is a remarkable shift in thinking and will spur faster innovation. - Comment
