Google Cloud Vision API, Will It Change The Way Companies Hire Potential Candidates?

Is Skynet coming or is it some positive example of a futuristic computer system, which we have never seen, since in all our fiction they always turn out to be as mad as their creators.

PC World announces that Google’s Cloud Vision API is now available to programmers and corporations for full use. The API includes image search AI, which can identify certain objects, species of animals, faces in crowds, facial emotion expressions and several other utilities.

The main purpose of the API is to create an AI system, which will automatically filter out unskilled workers, before they reach an interview phase. Other purposes of the API are left to the imagination of the programmers and the people who have hired them.

Tech Republic points out some of the biggest obstacles and best uses of the released firmware.
Additional uses are the possibility to help out employers in the IT boom, which has hit the country in the last few years. This has created distortion and a lot of misunderstanding on both sides and the use of Google’s newly released product should be just on time.

The obstacles before Cloud Vision API are the already existing modules, which can be used for the very same purpose and have already established themselves on the job market.
Indeed.com and Hired.com are just a few examples of selection AI being successfully implemented within various different platforms.

Information Week ends this article with an interesting release. The company has released its list of prices for different versions and uses. For volume users, there will be some discounts. As a reassurance towards buyers, Google have given the statement of having done a lot of science in the field lately. Other big competitors for Google’s new product are Amazon and Microsoft, each of which has developed and released their own cloud platforms.
