    GOOGLE, seeking to influence how people design, test, and run artificial-intelligence systems, is making its internal AI development software available for free.

    The Alphabet Inc-subsidiary is releasing a program called TensorFlow as freely available open-source software, it said on Monday. It's based on the same internal system Google has spent several years developing to support its AI software and other mathematically complex programs.
