Artificial intelligence can make progress in four areas

While concerns about artificial intelligence and its impact on the future of humanity have reached a peak, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, believes that this technology can advance humanity in at least 4 areas.

According to Business Insider, Sundar Pichai recently attended the Summit of the Future, which was held with world leaders at the United Nations headquarters in New York, and expressed his views on the future of artificial intelligence and its advantages. In this meeting, Pichai identified 4 key areas where artificial intelligence can help advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

The first area from the point of view of the CEO of Google is people’s access to various sciences and knowledge in their native language. According to Pichai, Google has added 110 new languages ​​to the Google Translate service in the past year and is working on adding 1000 languages ​​from the most popular languages ​​in the world.

The second area is to speed up scientific discoveries. Last May, Google introduced the Alphafold 3 model. This model is the result of the collaboration of Google’s DeepMind unit and Isomorphic Labs and can accurately predict the structure of proteins, DNA, RNA and ligands and provide new developments in the field of drug discovery. According to Pichai, the model is now freely available to more than 2 million researchers in more than 190 countries. 30% of these researchers are present in developing countries.

The third area of ​​artificial intelligence effect from Pichai’s point of view is the reduction of weather disasters. According to Google’s CEO, the company’s Flood Hub system provides early warning of weather disasters up to seven days in advance, protecting more than 460 million people in 80 countries. Google’s border tracking systems for forest fires are also currently in place in 22 countries. Earlier this month, Google also announced the FireSat service, which is used to detect and track wildfires.

Finally, the fourth area considered by Sundar Pichai is to contribute to economic development. According to him, research has shown that artificial intelligence can increase labor productivity by 1.4% and be effective in increasing the global gross product by 7 points.
