Sources say that Google will likely keep the company intact when the acquisition is complete, and is more interested in the community which the site has fostered over the years rather than the platform itself. “I would pick the latter”, Greene said. Market and macroeconomic conditions could interfere with the realization of this price target, as could risks such as entering new markets, the global macroeconomy, increasing competition outside of search, industry changes brought about by the shift to mobile and the difficulty of managing high growth based on its non-core investments. The most significant, is the creation of a new Engineering Support option for enterprise cloud customers.

The company has refrained from disclosing the terms of the deal however they could have been fairly impressive from Kaggle’s perspective considering that it is one of the few platforms of its sort out there.

“As we now utilise a variety of Google services, it was a natural fit for us to build our new cloud environment around Google Cloud Platform”, said Günther Oberhofer, Head of Networks and Communications, Conrad Electronic SE.

In a blog post, Kaggle CEO Anthony Goldbloom said, “The Kaggle team will remain together and will continue Kaggle as a distinct brand within Google Cloud”.

During her presentation at the event, Li discussed the importance of democratising artificial intelligence (AI).

“We put $30 billion into this platform”.

Google has ramped up its partner program offering incentives including low interest loans and expanded co-funding and rebates and introducing new partner specialisations, as it looks to harness the channel more strongly.

“Please do not attempt to duplicate it”, he said.

Though the Video Intelligence API is limited to those who are part of the beta for now, the tool could have far-reaching implications.

SAP has moved in recent years to encourage the multinational base of corporate customers using its financial planning and other business applications to switch from traditional packaged software running on clients’ own computers to cloud delivery. Amazon and Microsoft are investing deeply in artificial intelligence.

When it comes to Google products, one of the primary concerns from prospective users is support. But we can not define any clear strategy yet behind Google’s acquisition.
