Google AI is a subsidiary of Google DeepMind dedicated to artificial intelligence. [1] It was announced at Google I/O 2017 by CEO Sundar Pichai. [2]

This division has expanded its reach with research facilities in various parts of the world such as Zurich, Paris, Israel, and Beijing. [3] In 2023, Google AI was part of the reorganization initiative that elevated its head, Jeff Dean, to the position of chief scientist at Google. [4] This reorganization involved the merging of Google Brain and Google DeepMind, a UK-based company that Google acquired in 2014 that operated separately from the company's core research. [5]

In March 2019, Google announced the creation of an Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) comprising eight members: Alessandro Acquisti, Bubacarr Bah, De Kai, Dyan Gibbens, Joanna Bryson, Kay Coles James, Luciano Floridi and William Joseph Burns. Following objections from a large number of Google staff to the appointment of Kay Coles James, the Council was abandoned within one month of its establishment. [6]

In February 2025, Alphabet removed guidelines in their public AI ethics policy that formerly ruled out applying their AI technology to applications that were "likely to cause harm". [7] Google published a blog post defending the change. [8]

Merger with DeepMind

In 2023, Google's internal AI division, Google Brain, was merged with DeepMind to form a single, unified entity called Google DeepMind. This move was part of a larger company-wide reorganization to accelerate progress in AI development. [9] [10]
