About the team

The Cloud AI Research team, a dynamic group of scientists and engineers, is dedicated to conducting transformative, high-impact research and achieving fundamental breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and AI systems. We explore novel, high-potential directions, pioneering a new class of "Co-X" agents designed to automate and augment complex human tasks.

Our projects range from developing AI agents that can generate and validate award-worthy research papers to those that manage complex data center networks and power consumption. We are also developing state-of-the-art agents for ML engineering and data science, and exploring creative frontiers with agents that can direct long-form video content. Foundational to this is our work on core agent capabilities, such as long-term memory, automated multi-agent system design, and verifiable safety. We collaborate closely with partners to ship these innovations, ensuring our breakthroughs advance both Google's products and the state of science.
