How Special Relativity Can Help AI Predict The Future
An approach inspired by Einstein’s light cones lets AIs make better guesses about what will happen next. It could help predict the effects of drugs. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, but some guesses are a lot better than others. A kicked football will not reverse in midair and return to the kicker’s foot. …
Helping Companies Prioritize Their Cybersecurity Investments
One reason that cyberattacks continue to grow in recent years is that we never actually learn all that much about how they happen. Companies fear that reporting attacks will tarnish their public image, and even those who do report them don’t share many details because they worry that their competitors will gain insight into their …
An AI Gold Mine: What Happened At Google Cloud Next ‘20 OnAir
AI and machine learning (ML) tools and solutions are fundamentally changing how businesses are run. Soon, organizations that are not using AI will be at a disadvantage from those that do and applications that are not AI-powered may feel broken. This week at Google Cloud Next ’20: OnAir we explored how Cloud AI is empowering teams with AI …
Are There ‘Male’ And ‘Female’ Brains? Computers Can See A Distinction
How useful are the well-known and hotly contested categories of “male brain” and “female brain”? Among experts, nobody really questions that anatomical sex differences in the brain exist. But since the advent of brain science, the scientific community has been divided over how many differences there are, which ones have been definitively proven, how large …
Defense Innovation Unit Selects Google Cloud To Help U.S. Military Health System With Predictive Cancer Diagnoses
Google Cloud announced that the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has chosen Google Cloud to prototype an AI-enabled digital pathology solution at select DoD facilities. The project includes the delivery of augmented reality microscopes to DoD’s medical facilities and access to artificial intelligence (AI) models that can help military doctors with cancer detection tasks on multiple …
Key Requirements For An MLOps Foundation
AI-driven organizations are using data and machine learning to solve their hardest problems and are reaping the rewards. “Companies that fully absorb AI in their value-producing workflows by 2025 will dominate the 2030 world economy with +120% cash flow growth,”1 according to McKinsey Global Institute. But it’s not easy right now. Machine learning (ML) systems have …
Designing Artificial Brains Can Help Us Learn More About Real Ones
Despite billions of dollars spent and decades of research, computation in the human brain remains largely a mystery. Meanwhile, we have made great strides in the development of artificial neural networks, which are designed to loosely mimic how brains compute. We have learned a lot about the nature of neural computation from these artificial brains …
Taking Care Of Business With Responsible AI
In less than 10 years, some predict that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be the #1 driver of global GDP growth1. This is a staggering prediction. Over this next decade, we will see incredible adoption and innovation; in fact, applications that aren’t AI-enabled may feel broken. Despite this excitement, I have seen first-hand that trust in …
Partnering With NSF On Human-AI collaboration
In partnership with the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), we are announcing a National AI Research Institute for Human-AI Interaction and Collaboration. Google will provide $5 million in funding to support the Institute. We will also offer AI expertise, research collaborations, and Cloud support for Institute researchers and educators as they advance knowledge and progress …
