Our mission is to drive breakthroughs that benefit society, businesses, and Google products.

Amplifying human ingenuity

As we realize new possibilities with AI, we maintain a human-centered approach. We advance scientific progress by publishing hundreds of papers each year and collaborating with universities, NGOs, partners, and communities worldwide. Our goal is to build a world where AI is more than a tool: it’s an essential partner for researchers, scientists, clinicians, teachers, users, and businesses.

One research paper started it all

The research we do today becomes the Google of the future. Google itself began with a research paper, published in 1998, and was the foundation of Google Search. Our ongoing research over the past 25 years has transformed not only the company, but how people are able to interact with the world and its information.
