Speech translation has been one of the longest-running ML efforts at Google, and we’ve come a long way. Gemini 3.5 Live Translate is our latest speech-to-speech model, supporting 70 languages. It enables more natural conversations across languages in everyday products and apps. Here’s an example of how partners at @InsideGrab are helping connect travelers with drivers. 🚗 Rolling out in Google Translate and via the Live API in @GoogleAIStudio.

A good example of predictive AI from the Waymo Driver: in a split second, it predicted an initial crash of human-driven cars in the next lane, anticipated a secondary collision, and proactively shifted lanes — all while  managing its distance from the vehicles around it.

Fabien is right: AI is moving fast, but it's also moving unevenly. Good policy can promote widespread adoption so that everyone shares in the benefits of this transition.
Google's Chief Economist Fabien Curto Millet joined @creativedlab CEO Sonia Sennik and @RBC's John Stackhouse on #RBCDisruptors to discuss AI, productivity, jobs and what Canada can do to drive meaningful innovation and economic impact. Listen here 🎧 👇 rbc.com/en/thought-leadershi…

The findings here counter the narrative we often hear about AI eliminating entry-level hiring: According to @stradaeducation, 46% of executives and senior talent leaders surveyed reported they expect AI use to increase entry-level hiring.

This is an important step forward: The EO aims to deepen government and industry collaboration and give cyber defenders more solutions to stop bad actors. We're doing our part to ensure defenders have the AI tools they need to keep America secure.
Today @POTUS signed an EO that keeps America leading in AI while putting frontier AI capabilities to work strengthening our cyber defenses. AI systems are now the most powerful tools we have ever had to harden our cyber infrastructure and stay ahead of adversaries. It is a real blessing that these capabilities are being developed by American industry, and not by those who would use them against us. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…
