Video Transcription

• 00:00:09 Hi everyone. I'm James. 

• 00:00:12 In addition to research, I lead a new area  at Google called technology and society. 

• 00:00:20 Growing up in Zimbabwe, I could not have imagined  all the amazing and groundbreaking innovations 

• 00:00:26 that have been presented on this stage today. While I feel it's important to celebrate the  

• 00:00:33 incredible progress in AI and the immense potential that it has for people and society  

• 00:00:38 everywhere, we must also acknowledge that it's an emerging technology that is still being  

• 00:00:44 developed and there's still so much more to do. 

• 00:00:49 Earlier you heard Sundar say that our approach  to AI must be both bold and responsible. 

• 00:00:56 While there's a natural tension between the  two, we believe it's not only possible but 

• 00:01:03 in fact critical to embrace  that tension productively. 

• 00:01:08 The only way to be truly bold in the long  term is to be responsible from the start. 

• 00:01:15 Our field defining research is helping scientists  make bold advances in many scientific fields, 

• 00:01:22 including medical breakthroughs. Take for example Google DeepMind's AlphaFold,  

• 00:01:27 which can accurately predict the 3D shapes of 200 million proteins. 

• 00:01:33 That's nearly all the catalogue  proteins known to science. 

• 00:01:37 AlphaFold gave us the equivalent of nearly  400 million years of progress in just weeks. 

• 00:01:52 So far more than one million researchers around  the world have used AlphaFold's predictions, 

• 00:01:58 including Feng Xiang's pioneering lab at  the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. 

• 00:02:08 In fact in March this year, Zhang and his  colleagues at MIT announced that they'd used 

• 00:02:15 AlphaFold to develop a novel molecular syringe  which could deliver drugs to help improve 

• 00:02:21 the effectiveness of treatments  for diseases like cancer. 

• 00:02:32 And while it's exhilarating to see such bold  and beneficial breakthroughs, AI also has 

• 00:02:39 the potential to worsen existing societal  challenges like unfair bias, as well as pose 

• 00:02:46 new challenges as it becomes more  advanced and new uses emerge. 

• 00:02:51 That's why we believe it's imperative  to take a responsible approach to AI. 

• 00:02:57 This work centers around our AI principles  that we first established in 2018. 

• 00:03:03 These principles guide product development  and they help us assess every AI application. 

• 00:03:10 They prompt questions like, will it be socially  beneficial or could it lead to harm in any 

• 00:03:17 way? One area  

• 00:03:20 that is top of mind for us is misinformation. Generative AI makes it easier than ever to create  

• 00:03:28 new content, but it also raises additional questions about its trustworthiness. 

• 00:03:35 That's why we're developing and providing people  with tools to evaluate online information. 

• 00:03:40 For example, have you come across a photo  on a website or one shared by a friend with 

• 00:03:48 very little context, like this one at the  moon landing, and found yourself wondering, 

• 00:03:53 is this reliable? I have and I'm sure many of you have as well. 

• 00:03:59 In the coming months, we're adding two  new ways for people to evaluate images. 

• 00:04:05 First, with our About This  Image tool in Google Search,  

• 00:04:09 you'll be able to see important information 

• 00:04:12 such as when and where similar images may  have first appeared, where else the image 

• 00:04:19 has been seen online, including news, fact  checking, and social sites, all this providing 

• 00:04:25 you with helpful context to  determine if it's reliable. 

• 00:04:30 Later this year, you'll also be able to use  it if you search for an image or screenshot 

• 00:04:34 using Google Lens, or when  you're on websites in Chrome. 

• 00:04:41 As we begin to roll out the generative image  capabilities, like Sundar mentioned, we will 

• 00:04:47 ensure that every one of our AI generated  images has metadata and markup in the original 

• 00:04:54 file to give you context if you come  across it outside of our platforms. 

• 00:05:00 Not only that, creators and publishers will  be able to add similar metadata, so you'll 

• 00:05:06 be able to see a label in images in Google  Search marking them as AI generated. 

• 00:05:21 As we apply our AI principles, we also start  to see potential tensions when it comes to 

• 00:05:28 being bold and responsible. Here's an example. 

• 00:05:32 Universal Translate is an experimental AI video  dubbing service that helps experts translate 

• 00:05:39 a speaker's voice while also  matching their lip movements. 

• 00:05:44 Let me show you how it works with an online  college course created in partnership with 

• 00:05:49 Arizona State University. What many college students don't realize  

• 00:05:54 is that knowing when to ask for help and then following through on using helpful resources is  

• 00:05:59 actually a hallmark of becoming a productive adult. 

• 00:06:19 We use next generation translation models to  translate what the speaker is saying, models 

• 00:06:26 to replicate the style and the tone, and  then match the speaker's lip movements. 

• 00:06:31 Then we bring it all together. 

• 00:06:34 This is an enormous step forward for learning  comprehension, and we're seeing promising 

• 00:06:39 results with course completion rates. But there's an inherent tension here. 

• 00:06:45 You can see how this can be incredibly beneficial,  but some of the same underlying technology 

• 00:06:52 could be misused by bad  actors to create deep fakes. 

• 00:06:57 So we've built this service with  guardrails to help prevent misuse,  

• 00:07:01 and we make it accessible only to authorized partners. 

• 00:07:12 And as Sundar mentioned, soon we'll be integrating  new innovations in watermarking into our latest 

• 00:07:19 generative models to also help with  the challenge of misinformation. 

• 00:07:25 Our AI principles also help  guide us on what not to do. 

• 00:07:31 For instance, years ago, we were the first  major company to decide not to make a general 

• 00:07:37 purpose facial recognition  API commercially available. 

• 00:07:42 We felt there weren't  adequate safeguards in place. 

• 00:07:46 Another way we live up to our AI principles  is with innovations to tackle challenges as 

• 00:07:52 they emerge, like reducing the risk of problematic  outputs that may be generated by our models. 

• 00:07:59 We are one of the first in the industry to  develop and launch automated adversarial testing 

• 00:08:06 using large language model technology. We do this for queries like this  

• 00:08:12 to help uncover and reduce  inaccurate outputs, like the one 

• 00:08:16 on the left, and make them  better, like the one on the right. 

• 00:08:21 We're doing this at a scale that's never been  done before at Google, significantly improving 

• 00:08:26 the speed, quality, and coverage of  testing, allowing safety experts to  

• 00:08:32 focus on the most difficult cases. 

• 00:08:36 And we're sharing these innovations with others. For example, our Perspective API, originally  

• 00:08:42 created to help publishers mitigate toxicity, is now being used in large language models. 

• 00:08:49 Scientific researchers have used our Perspective  API to create an industry evaluation standard. 

• 00:08:56 And today, all significant large language models,  including those from OpenAI and Anthropic, 

• 00:09:02 incorporate this standard to evaluate  toxicity generated by their own models. 

• 00:09:18 Building AI responsibly must be a collective  effort involving researchers, social scientists, 

• 00:09:26 industry experts, governments,  and everyday people. 

• 00:09:31 As well as creators and publishers, everyone  benefits from a vibrant content ecosystem 

• 00:09:38 today and in the future. 

• 00:09:41 That's why we're getting feedback and we'll  be working with the web community on ways 

• 00:09:46 to give publishers choice and  control over their web content. 

• 00:09:52 It's such an exciting time. There's so much we can accomplish  

• 00:09:57 and so much we must get right together. We look forward to working with all of you. 

• 00:10:04 And now I'll hand it off to Samir, who will  speak to you about all the exciting developments 

• 00:10:09 we're bringing to Android. Thank you.
