Amazon SageMaker helps lead machine learning models to the edge SHARE Machine learning has experienced an incredible increase in usage in the past couple of years. In 2017, deploying machine learning models was considered extremely difficult, something only major organizations had the resources to consider. Then, Amazon Web Services Inc. released the Amazon SageMaker machine learning service. “Customers saw it was much easier to do machine learning once they were using tools like SageMaker,” said Bratin Saha (pictured), vice president and general manager of machine learning services and Amazon AI at Amazon. “Machine learning was no longer niche; machine learning was no longer a fictional thing. It was something that was giving real business value.”
