In July we launched the first edition of our AI & Economy ATLAS, a deep dive into how people are using Google’s AI products and tools at work and in day-to-day life.
Now we’re making ATLAS’s millions of global data points easier to explore. blog.google/innovation-and-a…

Here is Waymo's first-ever national TV commercial, which will start airing tomorrow during the FIFA World Cup.
"We built a driver that never blinks, never gets tired, or angry; Now the Waymo driver is safer than a human one. Statistically 10x safer in the cities we serve. Not because humans aren't enough, but because they're everything."

The findings here counter the narrative we often hear about AI eliminating entry-level hiring: According to @stradaeducation, 46% of executives and senior talent leaders surveyed reported they expect AI use to increase entry-level hiring.
(3/3) Strada Institute for the Future of Work surveyed nearly 1,500 executives and senior talent leaders across the country, representing the full range of industries and firm sizes.

Thanks for the great conversation @cleoabram (and some competitive Jenga)! Really enjoyed talking about all the amazing ways AI is helping to advance science & the incredible future it will enable!
What is the real future Google DeepMind CEO @demishassabis is trying to build?
That's what we talk about in this HUGE* Conversation -- so you can decide for yourself what you think of it.
If you're feeling the doom and gloom, this is the conversation to watch on AI.
We get into:
- The best use of AI
- Why Demis won the Nobel Prize
- The dramatic story of AlphaFold
- The cutting edge of drug discovery right now
- Demis' ideal for how AI gets built (v. what's happening now)
- Why AI is getting more creative
- The surprising stories of AlphaGo, AlphaZero, and AlphaStar
- Governments and militaries using AI (as far as I know, his only recent comments on this)
- What are we worrying too much about v. not enough about
- What can humans do that AI won't
- The big questions on Demis' mind right now
- The plot of the sci-fi future Demis thinks we're headed for (this was my favorite part)

I still pay for ChatGPT AND Gemini but i have been favoring Gemini of late.. My two neighbors at the office are cancelling ChatGPT. I like how much Gemini knows about me and is friendly but not cloying and it is NOT a suck-up

Good stuff from @Google. This will help level the playing field, particularly for those new to the college admissions process and/or without ready access to standardized test prep services. 👍, @sundarpichai!
We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.
Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.
To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

Dr. Garth Graham sat down with @foxandfriends to explain the "why" behind new parental controls on @YouTube—including screen time limits for shorts, a focus on educational content, and more. The goal here is to protect teens in the digital world, not from the digital world.

More Waymo safety data incoming. This time looking at 127 million fully autonomous miles driven through Sept 25.
We estimate human drivers would have been involved in 411 more injuries over the same distance, including 48 with pedestrians.
