AI has long driven scientific advances at Google, and the velocity at which breakthroughs are happening today is unprecedented. AI’s increasing capabilities have made the “magic cycle” of research from breakthrough to real-world impact broader and quicker than ever.
AI is an amplifier of human ingenuity. At Google, our teams are using AI to address fundamental scientific questions and push the boundaries of what’s possible, leading to new understanding of life and novel solutions to humanity’s greatest challenges. As we accelerate scientific discovery, we collaborate closely with the scientific community and ecosystem, across both industry and academia, and make our tech and tools available to our partners for their own research.
Here are four areas where Google Research has shared recent breakthroughs with meaningful scientific and societal impact.
Advancing biomedical science to better treat disease
We’re excited about the potential of AI to personalize medicine, democratize science and open up new avenues for biological and medical discovery. Our AI co-scientist aims to help expedite the process of making new biomedical discoveries. This multi-agent system uses AI’s ability to synthesize information and perform complex reasoning tasks to aid scientists in creating novel hypotheses and research proposals using natural language.
