We recently hosted Google I/O — our annual flagship event featuring company and product announcements — we showcased new initiatives and shared demonstrations that spotlight ways we’re making AI helpful for everyone. Here are a few highlights: We unveiled LearnLM (https://bit.ly/3wOpnOX), our new family of models fine-tuned for learning and grounded in educational research to make teaching and learning experiences more active, personal, and engaging — tailored to the needs of each individual. We demonstrated how we can improve knowledge, learning, creativity, and productivity by making AI helpful in our products like Project Starline (https://bit.ly/4bJ1MhQ), our breakthrough video conferencing technology that makes it feel like you’re in the same room as someone you’re connecting with virtually. We introduced a new, opt-in scam protection feature that will use Gemini Nano’s on-device AI to help detect scam phone calls in a privacy preserving way. Look out for more details later this year. https://bit.ly/3Kn2oxB And finally, we announced that we’re expanding SynythID’s capabilities to watermark AI-generated text and video. This is an important building block for developing more reliable AI identification tools and empowers people with knowledge of when they’re interacting with generated media. https://bit.ly/4aJftMl These are just a few of the examples of how we’re working responsibly to make the most of AI’s possibilities through partnerships with industry, civil society, and government. Watch the I/O recap here: https://bit.ly/4aJfrEd.

“There are a lot of goals…and I think that's why if we can corral the efforts of people around the cross-cutting initiatives [such as] AI and innovation, finance, women's power, it will exponentially help all of the goals,” says Kate Garvey, who’s a co-founder of Project Everyone, an initiative aimed at bringing public awareness to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In our final episode of Dialogues Dispatch, Kate has a conversation with Matt Brittin in, President of Google EMEA, about AI and how it can accelerate progress toward the SDGs. They dive into the role of AI in helping to achieve the Goals globally, reflecting on the exciting progress that’s been made, the substantial work ahead, and the value of collaboration across sectors like science, medicine, and education.

For years now, AI has been helping scientists in physics, material science, and healthcare make bold advances that benefit society. “I call this the golden era of biomedicine,” says physician-scientist Anna Greka, MD, PhD, Professor of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. “I really think that we have unprecedented tools. The onus is on us to actually use them for the benefit of humanity.” Alongside her team of “molecular sleuths,” Anna is using AI to revolutionize disease research. In our third episode of Dialogues Dispatch, Anna joins Google’s James Manyika for a conversation about AI as a game-changer to help humanity scale research and drive breakthroughs in health and science. In addition to discussing how AI has transformed her work, Anna emphasizes the importance of collaboration in making sure these efforts are inclusive and using the tools at our disposal to benefit everyone.
