Google lens is a smart toy that uses machine learning. Very interesting is the <strong>Vision AI<\/strong>, which is currently in use. Its used in practice is very wide and is available online for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I see an advantage in a better automatic description of the photo, for example, that relevant keywords are associated with the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside is the further accumulation of personal information linked with your Google account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Derive Image Insights via ML<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about what Google lens can get from yours images, try the <strong>Vision API demo<\/strong>.
