Building AI to accelerate science and improve lives

Google announced that its technologies support more than 300 languages and reach seven billion people, while introducing groundbreaking new artificial intelligence tools and projects in the fields of health, climate, economy, and education.

Global Language Support and Economic Tools

Google announced that its artificial intelligence technologies support more than 300 languages worldwide, reaching seven billion people, which corresponds to 86 percent of the global population.

The company also launched AI & Economy ATLAS, a new interactive insights platform to demonstrate how individuals use artificial intelligence on a global scale.

AlphaGenome Atlas in Science and Genetic Research

Within the scope of the AlphaGenome Atlas project, nine billion possible single-letter genetic variations in the human genome were mapped, and this data was made open to researchers.

Advanced Weather Forecasting with WeatherNext 3

WeatherNext 3 stands out as an advanced global weather model offering a 50 percent higher accuracy rate in precipitation forecasts made one day or more in advance.

Planetary Prediction Engine and Crisis Management

The Planetary Prediction Engine tool combines global health, food security, and socioeconomic data to predict crises across the planet in advance.

This system was actively used during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in identifying vulnerable communities in the United States.

Artificial Intelligence Applications in Healthcare

The AlphaFold tool supported four million researchers worldwide, predicting 200 million protein structures.

In breast cancer studies conducted in the United Kingdom, it was observed that artificial intelligence was able to detect 25 percent of interval cancers missed in mammograms.

Natural Disasters and Climate Resilience

While the WeatherNext system was used to predict the path of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Earthquake Alert systems provided early warnings to millions of people.

The Flood Hub platform reached two billion people in 150 countries, while artificial intelligence-based fire tools contributed to interventions in the US and internationally.

Education Initiatives and Digital Competence Investments

Google increased access to information with personalized learning tools while forming various partnerships to provide artificial intelligence literacy training to US educators.

The company made more than one billion dollars in educational investments globally to support 100 million people in acquiring digital and artificial intelligence skills.
