61 per cent of jobs in the UK could be significantly transformed by the integration of AI, with only a small fraction at risk of being "phased out" entirely, according to new research from Google.

At COMPUTEX 2024, John Solomon, Google VP＆GM, ChromeOS, showcased the Gemini AI model, highlighting Google's prowess in AI innovation. Gemini is a scalable, natively multimodal AI model with the industry’s largest context window, processing text, video, code, and images seamlessly.

Google Cloud has recently announced Noor Al-Sulaiti as the new Head of Security Business Development and Government Relations for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa region (META).

The AI tool Google GNoME has identified a remarkable 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable materials, potentially powering future technological advancements.

Known as the AI godfather, Dr Geoffrey Hinton has quit his role at Google, warning about the dangers from developments in the field. Dr Hinton announced his resignation from the tech giant in a statement to the New York Times.

Applications of deep learning to medical disciplines including ophthalmology, dermatology, radiology, and pathology have recently shown great promise to increase both the accuracy and availability of high-quality healthcare to patients around the world. Google has also published results showing that a convolutional neural network is able to detect breast cancer metastases in lymph nodes at a level of accuracy comparable to a trained pathologist.

Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular (CV) diseases continue to be among the top public health issues. Assessing this risk is critical first step toward reducing the likelihood that a patient suffers a CV event in the future. To do this assessment, doctors take into account a variety of risk factors — some genetic (like age and sex), some with lifestyle components (like smoking and blood pressure).

Good documentation helps create good clinical care by communicating a doctor's thinking, their concerns, and their plans to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, physicians routinely spend more time doing documentation than doing what they love most — caring for patients. Doctors often spend ~6 hours in an 11-hour workday in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) on documentation. Consequently, one study found that more than half of surveyed do...

  Google’s conference took place yesterday, with the company presenting its latest hardware products. Two new smartphones, a PC, and a VR headset were all discussed. Here’s what you need to know. Original author: Marc-Antoine Poignant, The Duck Network

A technology firm in the north of England has become one of only seven companies in the whole of the United Kingdom to officially partner with Google as a Google Cloud partner. Koios, a Newcastle based technology company, passed a series of rigorous tests to complete the Google Partnership and is now the only Google Partner in the whole of the North East region for cloud services and consultancy.

A partnership has been announced between Movado and Google to launch Movado Connect, a smartwatch collection powered by Android Wear 2.0, Google's newly redesigned platform. Movado Connect is one of the first watches designed specifically for Android Wear 2.0 and will launch fall of 2017 introducing five men's styles with a starting price of $495 available in the US, the Caribbean, Canada and the UK. The collection will be unveiled at Baselworld ...

At Google's DeepMind, a team has made AI inroads in speed and performance. The researchers behind the effort have put out a paper describing the maneuvers and the paper is on arXiv, titled "Reinforcement learning with unsupervised auxiliary tasks." Authors are Max Jaderberg, Volodymyr Mnih, Wojciech Marian Czarnecki, Tom Schaul, Joel Leibo, David Silver and Koray Kavukcuoglu, of DeepMind, London.

Google has announced its plans to scale back its fibre broadband network, with the company apparently exploring the cheaper option of wireless technology. Jaime Fink, Co-Founder and CPO at Mimosa Networks discusses why fixed wireless broadband has become such an attractive alternative for Google.

Google is front and centre and selling its Pixel Smartphone that it created from the industrial design to the components. With most of Google’s other smartphone software runs on devices manufactured by companies like Samsung, LG Electronics and Lenovo, with Google’s presence often relegated to the background.

The Google Translate app now does real-time visual translation of 20 more languages. So the next time you’re in Prague and can’t read a menu, we’ve got your back. But how are we able to recognise these new languages? In short: deep neural nets. When the Word Lens team joined Google, we were excited for the opportunity to work with some of the leading researchers in deep learning.  Author: Otavio Good, Software Enginee...

At Google, machine learning comes in different shapes and sizes. We use it in many of our products to make them securer, faster and smarter — it’s what allows you to use your voice to search for information, to translate websites from one language to another, or to search for “hugs” in your Google Photos library. And, as of today, it can help you create virtual fashion designs.

Summer may be drawing to a close, but we don’t want the fun to stop. So this month we’re bringing Playtime, our event for Android apps and games developers, to London, Paris, and Berlin. More than 600 attendees will hear from experts and learn how to grow their businesses and succeed on Google Play, the app store for Android devices.

Machine learning is useful in our everyday lives, in applications from smartphone assistants to image recognition and translation, but it could also help deal with some of the world’s most challenging physical problems such as energy consumption. While much has been done to stem the growth of energy use, large commercial and industrial systems like data centres consume a lot of energy and there is much more that can be done, especially give...

When emergency services receive a call they need accurate information, including a precise location, in order to arrive in time to be of assistance. Google has introduced an emergency feature in Android which sends the location from your phone to emergency services when you dial an emergency number.

We believe that AI technologies are likely to be overwhelmingly useful and beneficial for humanity. But part of being a responsible steward of any new technology is thinking through potential challenges and how best to address any associated risks. So today we’re publishing a technical paper, 'Concrete Problems in AI Safety', a collaboration among scientists at Google, OpenAI, Stanford and Berkeley. Author: Chris Olah, Google Research
