Google is increasing its involvement in scientific research through a $40 million commitment to the Genesis Mission, an initiative focused on using artificial intelligence and advanced computing to accelerate scientific discovery. The initiative reflects a broader shift in how technology companies are approaching research. Instead of developing AI only for commercial applications, organizations are increasingly…

Body Mass Index has served as a simple measure of weight related health for decades. However, BMI does not show how much body fat a person carries or where that fat is stored. That limitation has encouraged researchers to explore more detailed ways to assess cardiometabolic health. One promising approach combines artificial intelligence with smartphone…

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday business operations, but its growing adoption is creating a new challenge for enterprises. Not every AI request requires the most powerful and expensive model available. A simple question may need only a lightweight model, while complex reasoning, coding, or analytical tasks may justify a more capable system. When…

Cybersecurity teams are operating in an environment where attackers can move faster than ever. The growing sophistication of automated attacks, identity based threats, and AI assisted techniques is reducing the amount of time organizations have to detect suspicious activity and respond effectively. The expanding Daybreak threat illustrates this changing environment. As organizations become more dependent…

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in understanding the planet. From monitoring environmental changes to studying land use and agricultural patterns, geospatial data can provide valuable insights when combined with advanced machine learning. OlmoEarth embeddings are designed to make this type of analysis more flexible by allowing users to export custom embeddings from OlmoEarth Studio…

Artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life, and many people now use conversational systems for advice, information and emotional support. These tools are available around the clock, respond instantly and can feel surprisingly conversational. However, situations involving serious emotional distress create a much higher standard for AI systems. A response that might be acceptable…

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how people create, edit and experience music. What once required years of musical training, studio equipment and complex production software can increasingly be explored through simple creative instructions. Google is continuing this transformation with the launch of Lyria 3.5 in Google Flow Music. The latest development focuses on improving several…

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at an extraordinary pace, creating new opportunities for innovation while introducing complex cybersecurity challenges. As AI systems become more powerful and widely adopted, technology leaders are recognizing the importance of establishing common standards that promote trust, accountability, and security. The introduction of SAFE guidelines represents a significant effort to improve…

Artificial intelligence is helping organizations improve productivity, automate complex workflows, and unlock new business opportunities. However, as AI adoption accelerates, managing operational expenses has become just as important as achieving technical success. Cloud computing resources, model training, inference workloads, and data processing can quickly increase costs when they are not monitored effectively. Recognizing this growing…

AI agents are moving from experimental prototypes into increasingly practical software systems. Developers now expect agents to reason through complex tasks, use external tools, manage files, execute code, and continue working even when an application is no longer connected to an active request. Google is expanding its managed agent capabilities in the Gemini API to…
