Camels, Code & Lab Coats: How AI Is Advancing Science and Medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already a part of our everyday lives – from search, to translate, to finding all the dog photos we’ve ever taken. Soon, it will also have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. For the past few years, Google researchers have been exploring ways these same technologies could help advance the fields of medicine and science, working with scientists, doctors, and others in the field. In this video, we share a few early research projects that have big potential. Check out the description below for more info on each project.
