Google has become a world leader in artificial intelligence a growing main force in the world today . Google is the world’s top investor in AI.
Google rank among the most valuable companies in the world today with market caps in excess of $1.23 trillion .
American multinational technology conglomerate holding company headquartered in Mountain View, California. Google LLC is focusing on online advertising, search engine technology, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and consumer electronics
According to Google, artificial intelligence (AI) enables innovative new uses of tools, products, and services, and it is used by billions of people every day, as well as businesses, governments, and other organizations. AI can assist, complement, empower, and inspire people in almost every field, from everyday tasks to bold and imaginative endeavors. It can unlock new scientific discoveries and opportunities, and help tackle humanity’s greatest challenges—today and in the future.
AI has the potential to benefit people and society through its capacity to:
- Make information more useful and available to more people, everywhere, often helping overcome barriers including access, disabilities and language
- Assist people and organizations to make decisions, solve problems, be more productive and creative in their daily and work lives
- Enable innovation that leads to new, helpful products and services for people, organizations, and society more broadly
- Help tackle current and pressing real world challenges, such as public health crises, natural disasters, climate change, and sustainability
- Help identify, and mitigate societal biases and structural inequities (e.g. socio-economic, socio-demographic and regional inequities)
- Enable scientific and other breakthroughs to address humanity’s greatest future opportunities and challenges (e.g. medical diagnosis, drug discovery, climate forecasting)
The foundational nature of AI means that AI will also power and transform existing infrastructure, tools, software, hardware, and devices—including products and services not normally thought of as AI.
Examples : Google Search, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Workspace, Android, and Pixel phones. It will significantly enhance their usefulness and multiply their value to people. It will also lead to new categories of assistive tools, products, and services, often with breakthrough capabilities and performance made possible only through AI. This includes more powerful and inclusive language translators, conversational AI and assistants, generative and multi-modal AI, robotics and driverless cars. And this is just the beginning.
Google has advance the state of the art for more capable AI that can benefit people and society.
Lead foundational and field-defining breakthrough AI research to generate AI that is more capable and assistive across a variety of tasks. Examples of our contributions that have helped advance the field and have been leveraged by many at and beyond Google include Transformers, Word2Vec, Sequence to Sequence Learning, Federated Learning, Model Distillation, Diffusion Models, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Neural Nets with Tree Search, Self-learning Systems, Neural Architecture Search, Autoregressive Models, Networks with External Memory, Large Scale Distributed Deep Networks, Tensor Processing Units
Use AI to make breakthrough progress in science and other areas where Google aim to advance scientific and engineering progress. Examples of our widely-acknowledged breakthroughs in AI and science that can benefit all of humanity include: mapping nearly all known proteins, predicting the function of proteins, mapping a piece of the brain in neuroscience research, discovering faster algorithms, advances in quantum computing and physics including innovating in nuclear fusionBring useful and transformational AI-powered infrastructure, products, and services to more people, businesses, organizations (large and small), and economies everywhere.
Build state of the art AI infrastructure that is secure and easy to use, including compute (e.g. Tensor Processing Units, Google Tensor and Colab) and widely-used software frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, Jax, Android ML and Private Compute). Make this AI infrastructure available (with many open source tools) to millions of developers, students, and researchers in various organizations throughout the world.
Apply AI advances to our core products and services to make step-change improvements, innovations and new experiences that enhance and multiply the usefulness and value of all our core products and services for billions of people across Google Search, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Workspace, hardware devices (e.g. Pixel and Nest), and for those with disabilities via accessibility applications (Android Voice Access, Live Transcribe).
Develop new AI-powered products, services and experiences for: Consumers with assistive tools like Google Translate, Google Lens, Google Assistant, Project Starline, speech-to-text, Pixel Call Assist and Recorder, real-time text suggestions and summarization, and generative human-assistive capabilities across many creative and productivity endeavors. To enhance all products that use speech, we’ve developed a Universal Speech Model capable of 400 languages and we are committed to building a model to support the 1000 most-spoken languages, improving access for billions of people.
Businesses and organizations of all sizes, across industries and regions, with examples like contact center assistive agents, tools such as AutoML, Vertex AI, Cloud TPUs, Glass Enterprise, and assistive products for coding, design, and more still to come
-
- Sectors that can most benefit from AI, from manufacturing to life sciences (e.g. diabetic retinopathy, imaging diagnostics, DeepVariant), directly and indirectly though our partners and collaborators
- Grow and enable a large AI ecosystem of developers and partners to build and bring more AI applications to more users, sectors, and regions of the world, for example through our provision of tools, APIs, and in some cases through co-development and co-deployments of useful innovations
- Use AI to create new category-defining businesses and companies that are only possible through the power of AI in a variety of fields from driverless cars (Waymo) and drug discovery (e.g. Isomorphic Labs) to robotics ( e.g. Intrinsic)
Work with and enable many others beyond Google to apply AI to help tackle society’s greatest challenges and opportunities today and in the future.
- Collaborate with others around the world to apply AI to society’s most pressing challenges such as natural disasters, public health crises, climate change, and sustainability. Examples include AI for Social Good, AI for the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Data Commons, wildfire alerts, coral reef conservation, and flood forecasting so far in more than 20 countries around the world.
- Expand and enable the field of AI by sharing major breakthroughs and related artifacts (e.g. papers, open-source releases, and datasets such as AlphaFold protein datasets), engaging in research collaborations. We also make tools widely available to students and educators (e.g. Google Scholar and Colab, regularly used by millions of learners), including free access to leading-edge ML computation hardware for scientists (e.g. TPU Research Cloud), help build their capacity (e.g. with our partnership with the National Science Foundation), and share best practices (e.g. on safety) with other researchers.
AI innovations to continually improve Google itself as a leading organization, and to share what we learn with other organizations, including customers, governments, and non-governmental organizations. Key areas of focus include
AI to achieve industry-leading safety and cybersecurity across all our products and services
- Applying AI to improve our own productivity and operations across all functions
- Using AI to help realize our company’s bold ambitions in climate and sustainability (e.g. energy efficiency in our data centers).
- New York based mining Executive Sahit Muja said, ” AI technology is transforming every walk of life. Indeed artificial intelligence is shaping the future of humanity across nearly every industry. Albanian Minerals in mining industry is increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to optimize mining, geology, logistics, educatain, safety, processes, enhance decision-making and derive value from data. We are preparing for the 4th industrial revolutions by creating intelligent mining operations”.
- Joe Biden sets out plans for an AI Bill of Rights to protect citizens from “automated systems that threaten rights of the American public”.
