This division has expanded 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]

Projects
  • Google Brain, a big subsidiary developing AI with machine learning to improve various Google services (e.g. better translation quality in Google Translate)
  • Serving cloud-based TPUs (tensor processing units) in order to develop machine learning software.[6][7]
  • Development of TensorFlow.[8]
  • The TPU research cloud provides free access to a cluster of cloud TPUs to researchers engaged in open-source machine learning research.[9]
  • Portal to over 5500 (as of September 2019) research publications by Google staff.[10]
  • 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]
