Google announces four advances and four priority areas for AI-accelerated science
Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the company's recent progress in using AI to accelerate science and improve lives: using AlphaGenome Atlas to map all 9B single-letter variants of the human genome and opening it to researchers, launching what it calls the most accurate global weather AI model to date, WeatherNext 3, releasing the open-access AI & Economy ATLAS to observe global AI usage, and expanding its services to cover nearly 300 languages and 7B people. He said Google will focus on four areas: health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity.

Today we have set out how we’re building AI to accelerate science and improve people’s lives. Just some examples in the last week or so:
- Mapped all 9B possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly available to researchers. - Billions of decisions depend on weather predictions so we introduced WeatherNext 3, our most accurate and capable global weather AI model to date. - We published AI & Economy ATLAS, a comprehensive open-access look at how people are using AI globally. - AI has enabled extraordinary advances in language translation. Today our services are available in nearly 300 languages, spoken by 7B people
We’re focusing our efforts on four key areas: health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity. https://t.co/DDKcUTYj54
