Google invests 20 million dollars: AI is revolutionizing science!
Google.org sets a powerful example for the future of science! With an additional investment of 20 million US dollars (around 18.89 million euros), the promotion of artificial intelligence in groundbreaking projects will be further advanced. This sum adds to the already impressive $200 million invested in AI-powered initiatives over the past five years. This announcement was made at Google DeepMind and the Royal Society's first AI for Science Forum in London, and it could revolutionize the scientific landscape!
Revolutionary projects in focus
These funds will support the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of science, in research into women's cancer, the development of new plastics and the fight against antibiotic resistance. Google.org, the charitable arm of Google, has been dedicated to solving global challenges through technology and data since 2005. The organization is committed to social projects in areas such as environmental protection, education and health - and now the power of AI is being used even more in these areas!
AI as the key to medical breakthroughs
The recent award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Google DeepMind researchers Demis Hassabis and John Jumper impressively shows how AI is advancing science. Their AlphaFold project, which accurately predicts the structure of proteins, is used by over two million researchers worldwide. It plays a crucial role in the fight against malaria and in the development of new treatments for Parkinson's disease. The advances in hydrology, neuroscience and climate research are also impressive and show the immense potential of AI!
Hassabis, CEO and co-founder of Google DeepMind, believes artificial intelligence will be the key technology for some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of our time. “We hope our $20 million fund will encourage collaboration between the private and public sectors and inspire others to join us,” he explains. The future of science looks brighter than ever thanks to AI!
