During a keynote at our Research@ event in Poland last week, Yossi Matias, Head of Google Research shared how his team’s work is guided by the "magic cycle" — where real-world challenges drive foundational research and scientific breakthroughs.
Research@ gathered hundreds of researchers, academics, policymakers and partners to explore how we continue this cycle, turning complex research into real-world solutions that serve people in their daily lives.
A clear theme emerged across every conversation: collaboration. From deploying Google Earth AI to help tackle public health and disaster response challenges, creating new methods for brain mapping and supporting responsible AI literacy and education, to developing AI that can act as a virtual collaborator for scientists — partnership has been key, and we’re excited to see what we can build together next.
