Accelerating scientific discoveries and helping cure diseases might be the most profound purpose of AI. Thrilled to introduce our @GoogleAI @GoogleDeepMind @googlecloud AI co-scientist system, which I believe is an important milestone towards this. Blog -…

Top 5 advances in medicine this week (🧵) 1. Doctors vs. AI This is an experiment where patient actors spoke either with a doctor or an AI chatbot (made by Google Research) by typing back and forth - they didn't know which they were speaking to AI won for diagnostic accuracy,…

Another great @Google paper. 💊 AI crushed the usual clinic bottlenecks here because the team wrapped the model in tight medical guardrails, let real physicians watch everything it said, and then proved the setup works with a head‑to‑head simulation against human residents. 🩺…

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/…

We are expanding our team working at the forefront of AI for medicine @GoogleDeepMind Our mission is to help democratize and make world class healthcare available to everyone, everywhere. If you are a researcher or engineer passionate about AI and healthcare, please consider…

A universal assistant could "enable future AIs that can carry out their own scientific research, potentially unlocking miracle cures.”💡 We’re honored to be named a @TIME 100 Most Influential Company and to receive an Impact Award for our contributions to AI. →…

Scoop: did @Calico, Google's aging moonshot with over $4B invested from its parent co and @AbbVie, just quietly regain the lead in the aging field?? To no fanfare or press, Calico just added one of the most advanced assets in the longevity field to its now four drug pipeline!

better late than never lots of rough edges still but the team is grinding do share feedback github.com/google-gemini/…

mandate of heaven

Congrats to @GoogleDeepMind teammates on the stunning AlphaEvolve work! With AI co-scientist and AlphaEvolve, we are now seeing the emergence of language-guided search and optimization with reasoning LLMs as a new paradigm, distinct and perhaps complementary to RL /…

Excited to share new validation results of our @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI AI co-scientist! Addressing the challenge of liver fibrosis, a condition affecting millions globally with few treatments options, we've been working with Dr. Gary Peltz @StanfordMed, exploring how…

Study in Nature: “Across 30 out of 32 evaluation axes from the specialist physician perspective & 25 out of 26 evaluation axes from the patient-actor perspective, AMIE [Google Medical LLM] was rated superior to PCPs [primary care physicians] while being non-inferior on the rest.”

Excited to share a big update on AMIE, our research AI doctor from @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleAI Now, AMIE can “see” and interpret visual medical data within a diagnostic conversation. Yes, AMIE exceeded human doctors (PCPs) in many key metrics like diagnostic accuracy and…

Out-the-box gemini 2.0 flash in an agentic framework surpasses doctors in multimodal medical conservations. This is a pretty big deal for medicine. Huge congrats to @KhaledSaab11 @RyutaroTanno @JanFreyberg + the whole AMIE team @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI on this accomplishment!

Does every scientist need an AI co-scientist? We sat down with @jrpenades & @CostaT_Lab, two @imperialcollege professors putting @google's new 'AI co-scientist' tool to the test. How long did it take AI to solve the mystery they'd spent a decade trying to figure out? 🧵

Favorite image from the @GoogleDeepMind Co-Scientist paper, showing how generative AI can accelerate hypothesis development and experimentation. Work that previously would have taken years or a decade, can now be accomplished in just a matter of days with Gemini 2.5 and beyond:

"@dwarkesh_sp should read our papers" @vivnat & @apalepu13 explain that ... yes, AI systems can generate biomedical hypotheses that human experts find insightful & significant "AI doctors" exist today, and "data centers full of AI geniuses" are pretty clearly coming soon! 🧵

Huge thanks to @labenz for hosting @vivnat and me on the @CogRev_Podcast. Really enjoyed discussing @GoogleAI @GoogleDeepMind's latest research on AMIE (A conversational diagnostic AI) & AI co-scientist (AI aiding scientific discovery). youtube.com/watch?v=Jo31LE…

Happy to share our @GoogleAI @GoogleDeepMind milestone of two @Nature publications today on Project AMIE - the art of the possible for empathic, conversational, diagnostic medical AI. AMIE exceeded Primary Care Physicians in a randomized comparison of simulated text-based…
