Impact measurement @GoogleDeepMind. Interested in AI, economics, science, philosophy, methods, sci-fi, python. Before: @SPRU, @nesta_uk
AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery. Today we published an essay about why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Let’s look at it like economists.
"Why evaluating the impact of AI needs to start now" Nature Opinion piece by UK Cabinet Office calling for more experimental evaluation of AI interventions to track real-world impacts and unintended consequences. Links to a methodological framework to guide these evaluations.
Data is everything. We need more data to unlock the next scientific breakthroughs with AI. Here’s how we’re addressing this at NeurIPS. With a $10,000 prize pool to get it started. 🧵 @NeurIPSConf @AI_for_Science @RenPhil21 #NeurIPS2025
Our new state-of-the-art AI model Aeneas transforms how historians connect the past. 📜 Ancient inscriptions often lack context – it's like solving a puzzle with 90% of the pieces lost to time. It helps researchers interpret and situate inscriptions in their past context. 🧵

The Economics of Bicycles for the Mind Nice theoretical paper by Agrawal, Gans and Goldfarb about the impact of cognitive tools (e.g. AI) on productivity, inequality, automation and organisation. Their findings:
From Silver to Gold🥇 Our advanced version of Gemini Deep Think has achieved the gold-medal standard at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad. It perfectly solved 5/6 problems in natural language with no expert intervention and that too within 4.5 hours!
An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think has officially achieved gold medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. 🥇 It solved 5️⃣ out of 6️⃣ exceptionally difficult problems, involving algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Here’s how 🧵
Drastic progress on maths with Gemini 2.5! As a math undergrad, I am impressed 🤯 🥈 -> 🥇 ✅ Formal -> Informal ✅ Specialized model -> General model ✅ Available soon ✅ Huge thanks to IMO and congrats to all participants! Blog: deepmind.google/discover/blog/…
Officially validated IMO gold medal, purely via search in token space, achieved in 4.5 hrs (unclear at what compute cost). The solutions read nicely as well deepmind.google/discover/blog/…
Very excited to share that an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think is the first to have achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad! 🏆, solving five out of six problems perfectly, as verified by the IMO organizers! It’s been a wild run to lead this…
Super thrilled to share that our AI has has now reached silver medalist level in Math at #imo2024 (1 point away from 🥇)! Since Jan, we now not only have a much stronger version of #AlphaGeometry, but also an entirely new system called #AlphaProof, capable of solving many more…
Natural Language Processing and innovation research Nice overview of opportunities and challenges for using semantic methods / AI to measure innovation inputs, outputs and spillovers.
