If something has a video game name, a video game appearance, and a video game development, it’s basically a video game. Only in this case, Google has “taken advantage” of the popularity of electronic entertainment to propose a casual way of learning to improve the use of artificial intelligence, both for professionals and for those who are not so professional.
The invention in question responds to the name of The Arcade, which already gives clues as to what its main source of inspiration is. But in case it wasn’t clear from that alone, it also has a space aesthetic that is extremely reminiscent of the arcade classics of the late 70s and early 80s, such as Space Invaders and similar titles. We tell you what it really consists of.
The objectives of The Arcade, the new Google Cloud tool
Google’s Arcade consists, more than anything, of a new service added to Google Cloud whose main purpose, logically, is to delve into the possibilities that the service in Cloud Google offers to users. And that starts by including artificial intelligence, which seems to be essential for practically everything right now.
Only instead of just offering some kind of conventional tutorials or documents, Google has had the idea of presenting this kind of training, if you want to call it that, in the form of retro video games. In addition, the platform will cover different themes, which will also be divided into levels. Like games, they will be easier or more difficult.
In this way, Google intends to reach a larger audience with The Arcade, although we must not forget that, above all and despite its fun appearance, we are talking about a tool that is more oriented above all to engineers and professionals who want Test your knowledge in varied fields. Although the idea is within everyone’s reach.
Beyond the uses of artificial intelligence and how it can work directly with the cloud (Google Cloud), The Arcade aims for users who are interested in it to learn about various topics that are fundamental today in this type of technology.and everything seems to indicate that they will have even more relevance in the near future.
Google “rewards” the experts who know the most about the cloud
What is clear is that The Arcade, from Google Cloud, wants to be more than just entertainment. To do this, it will propose different laboratories, with which people can refine the way they understand and use the cloud. But rewarding, in some way, those who pass the game well (as if it were a traditional video game).
It will do so through badges, and these can be shared in order to demonstrate that you have knowledge about a topic in question. Do you want to show that you are an expert in the cloud, artificial intelligence or current technology in general? Well now you have the opportunity to do it. The Arcade will add a new game every month.
