Science drives human progress,but the rate of new revelation is slowing despite increasingly complex global challenges. To address this, Google.org created a $20 million AI for Science fund to support organizations using AI to solve critical scientific problems. We’re providing researchers wiht the tools to accelerate breakthroughs, achieving years of progress in decades.
Today, we’re announcing the twelve recipients of the AI for Science fund. These teams are using AI not just to analyze data,but to overcome major obstacles in health,agriculture,and biodiversity,turning discoveries into real-world solutions. All organizations share a commitment to open science, and we expect their work to generate open-source datasets and solutions that will fuel further innovation.
Decoding the science of life and health
The complexity of biological data has hindered medical advancements.five of our funding recipients are using AI to make this data more predictable and precise, shifting the focus from treating disease to preventing it.
- UW Medicine is using its fiber-seq technology to map the 99% of the human genome that remains largely unkown, aiming to uncover the genetic causes of rare diseases.
- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is developing BAN-map, an AI tool that analyzes neural data and adjusts experiments in real-time to maximize insights into thought and memory.
- Technical University of Munich is building a foundation model that connects individual cells to entire organs, allowing clinicians to simulate disease and test treatments digitally.
- The Infectious Disease Institute at Makerere University is using AI tools like “EVE” and AlphaFold to predict how malaria parasites evolve,helping researchers quickly identify drug resistance.
- Spore.Bio, based in France, is
