Google AI is a division of Google dedicated to artificial intelligence.[1] It was announced at Google I/O 2017 by CEO Sundar Pichai.[2]

This division has expanded its reach with research facilities in various parts of the world such as Zurich, Paris, Israel, and Beijing.[3] In 2023, Google AI was part of the reorganization initiative that elevated its head, Jeff Dean, to the position of chief scientist at Google.[4] This reorganization involved the merging of Google Brain and DeepMind, a UK-based company that Google acquired in 2014 that operated separately from the company’s core research.[5] This division is predicted to rise in value and performance as AI becomes more mainstream, since Google is already an AI powerhouse.[6]

Projects

  • Google Brain: a big subsidiary developing AI with machine learning to improve various Google services (e.g. better translation quality in Google Translate)
  • Bard: a chatbot based on the Gemini model.
  • Google Assistant: is a virtual assistant software application developed by Google AI since 2023.
  • Serving cloud-based TPUs (tensor processing units) in order to develop machine learning software.[7][8] The TPU research cloud provides free access to a cluster of cloud TPUs to researchers engaged in open-source machine learning research.[9]
  • TensorFlow:[10] a machine learning software library.
  • Magenta: a deep learning research team exploring the role of machine learning as a tool in the creative process.[11] The team has released many open source projects allowing artists and musicians to extend their processes using AI.[12] With the use of Magenta, musicians and composers could create high-quality music at a lower cost, making it easier for new artists to enter the industry.[13]
  • Sycamore : a new 54-qubit programmable quantum processor.[14]
  • LaMDA: a family of conversational neural language models[15]
  • A program designed to address the growing need for developing free speech resources for under-represented languages[16]
