    From Google DeepMind’s AI advancements, to Google Cloud’s AI-first infrastructure, to our Other Bets’ use of AI to tackle complex challenges in areas like healthcare, energy and robotics — every corner of our company is focused on pushing the frontier of AI and bringing its benefits to everyone.

    NVIDIA is a critical partner in this mission. As a world leader in AI and accelerated computing, NVIDIA has collaborated with Google and Alphabet for years on a wide variety of projects, including Android, advanced AI research, next-generation hardware and software optimizations, and beyond — all with the goal of making AI more accessible for developers.

    This week at the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference, we’re doubling down on our partnership with NVIDIA with announcements across Google and Alphabet:

    Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure will help transform businesses with NVIDIA’s latest GPUs

    Training large AI models requires serious computing power, and NVIDIA continues to raise the bar on GPU performance. We’re excited to announce our A4 VM is now generally available, based on NVIDIA HGX B200 GPU — and our A4X VMs based on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 will be available soon, too. We’re committed to supporting the latest Blackwell GPUs, including the just-announced NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and NVIDIA GB300. This means faster training times, smoother deployments and the ability to tackle even more complex AI challenges.

    Google DeepMind and NVIDIA will make the power of Gemini available to more people

    Google DeepMind’s Gemini is the result of decades of large language model research and is our most capable AI model. This week we’ll share how rapid advances in Gemini are designed to support more developers and end users — and how our collaboration with NVIDIA is helping to make that possible.

    The Google DeepMind team also released Gemma 3 last week, the latest in our collection of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models. NVIDIA played a key role in the development of these open models, working closely with our researchers to optimize Gemma to run on its vast accelerated computing ecosystem. This means developers can easily access the same technology that powers Gemini and implement it on any NVIDIA GPU available to them.

    Separately, NVIDIA also announced today that it has employed Google DeepMind’s SynthID watermarking tool on its Cosmos video generation platform. This marks our first external deployment of the technology, and we’re proud to help instill user trust in AI-generated content.

    Alphabet and NVIDIA will use AI to tackle the world’s most complex issues

    Our collaboration with NVIDIA isn’t just about building AI tools to help in daily life; it’s about fundamentally improving the quality of life for everyone. That means working together to apply AI to address some of the world’s most complex challenges. For starters, we’re teaming up to apply the most advanced frontier models to areas from energy to drug discovery.

    • Smarter energy grids. Tapestry, X’s moonshot for the electric grid, and NVIDIA are researching methods to increase the speed and accuracy of electric grid simulations.
    • Improved drug discovery. Isomorphic Labs and NVIDIA are advancing the development of new medicines using AI.
    • More capable robots. Intrinsic and NVIDIA are making robots more intelligent and capable, with the integration of NVIDIA’s Isaac foundation models for more adaptive grasp capabilities.
    • Advanced robotics simulation. Google DeepMind and NVIDIA are launching MuJoCo-Warp, a new open-source physics simulator that will accelerate robotics research.

    We’ve always believed that the value of technology lives in its capacity to benefit people everywhere. That’s been foundational to our mission and it’s what our growing collaboration with NVIDIA is built on. By combining Google’s expertise in AI research and infrastructure with NVIDIA’s leadership in accelerated computing, we’re committed to strengthening the foundation of AI, making AI more accessible and helpful to developers and users, and collaborating in ways that will drive innovation for years to come.

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    This week kicked off the HLTH Conference in Las Vegas where thousands of healthcare leaders, care providers, patients and other people in the industry — like our teams at Google — are coming together to discuss how to create a healthier world.

    At Google, we believe that technology — especially AI and analytics — can unlock a better future for health globally. Our teams from Search, YouTube, Android, Google Cloud and more are using technology to provide health information and insights for consumers, caregivers and communities. Here’s a look at some of our latest updates.

    Giving people information and insights to take action on their health

    For many, the front door to healthcare is their smartphone. Millions of people turn to Google Search and YouTube for authoritative information or use apps and connected devices, like Fitbit, to help stay on top of health and wellness goals.

    To give Android users a new way to get more from their health and wellness data, we introduced Health Connect earlier this year at Google I/O. Through our Early Access Program, more than 10 health, fitness and wellness apps including MyFitnessPal, Oura and Peloton have already integrated with the platform to help people manage everything from workouts to diet to sleep and more. We are now opening up to more developers with Health Connect (Beta) to give people a single place to manage access to data across their health and fitness apps. In the coming months, we will continue to create an even richer ecosystem of apps and features.

    Image of app icons

    We’ve also made strides on our other platforms, Search and YouTube. In 2021, health videos on YouTube were viewed more than 12 billion times in the U.S. YouTube’s authoritative health content and features are now available in 7 countries, and YouTube recently opened up its features to a wider group of health experts in the U.S. to encompass authoritative services that extend beyond educational institutions and health organizations.

    On Search, there’s more ways for people to turn health information into action. After piloting a feature earlier this year that shows available healthcare appointments for primary care, we’re continuing to explore new ways to expand appointments to other specialities and verticals through new and existing partnerships.

    This work is made possible by all our partners who provide the health information, insights and experiences that empower consumers in their health.

    Equipping healthcare ecosystem with analytics and AI to improve health

    Healthcare is one of the largest and most complex industries that is turning towards technology to help organizations run more effectively — which in turn helps people live healthier lives.

    When organizations commit to digital transformation, it can be a long and overwhelming process, but that doesn’t mean it has to take years to see benefits for developers, clinicians and patients.

    Google Cloud came together with several of our customers and partners — including Hackensack Meridian Health, Lifepoint Health and Mayo Clinic — to find a way to encourage rapid reinvention. As a result, we built Google Cloud’s new Healthcare Data Engine (HDE) accelerators to help organizations reinvent quickly and enable the data interoperability that saves lives. The first three HDE accelerators, available in early 2023, will address common use cases around health equity, patient flow, and value-based care.

    The transformation of healthcare requires an open and collaborative approach to be successful. For example, Electronic Health Records (EHR) are a critical part of this ecosystem and we see many ways to work with EHR companies for the benefit of healthcare organizations. Today marks a critical development in this journey. At HLTH we announced an agreement that will allow healthcare organizations to run Epic — an EHR system — on Google Cloud. Hackensack Meridian Health plans to move its Epic workloads to Google Cloud, with the aim to drive greater innovation, efficiencies and security.

    And with our solution Care Studio, we’ve been working with MEDITECH to bring our advanced search, summarization and sense-making capabilities to their EHR, MEDITECH Expanse. We are now extending this integrated solution to our first two partners, Mile Bluff Medical Center and DCH Health System, to give their health teams a more complete view of their patients and easily find salient information to provide better care. This includes organizing patient records from different sources into a longitudinal view, bringing our advanced search functionality to clinicians directly in their EHR so they can easily and quickly access critical information all in one place.

    10:25

     

    Fitbit Health Solutions is bringing our technology to healthcare partners, incorporating Fitbit devices, services and insights into programs focused on managing chronic conditions like diabetes. A study from the All of Us research program found that increasing your daily step count by 1000 steps could cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by more than 25%. This kind of insight is key to promoting lifestyle changes for people, and why we are partnering with Babylon Health to support their high-risk members managing chronic conditions.

    Underpinning all our work is a deep commitment to make sure that we do not leave anyone behind. Technology has the power to eliminate health disparities and democratize access to healthcare. But we need to be intentional in our efforts to live up to our goal of improving the health of billions of people by building for everyone, everywhere.

    Google Health shares updates at the 2022 HLTH Conference from Google Cloud, Care Studio, and Health Connect and more.

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Editor’s note: Today, we announced the next steps in our partnership with Jio Platforms, including a new, affordable Jio smartphone built with an optimized version of Android OS and a new 5G collaboration powered by Google Cloud. The following is adapted from remarks delivered by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, at Reliance Industries’ Annual General Meeting today.

    Thank you to everyone at Reliance Industries for all you do for India — from investing in infrastructure and technology to creating jobs and expanding opportunity to supporting communities in need, especially in this difficult moment for the country.

    It’s been devastating to see the country hit so hard by COVID-19. Yet it’s heartening to see how Reliance has stepped up to contribute to the national response and get support to the communities that need it most. On behalf of all of us at Google: We hope you are taking care and we are wishing for better days ahead.

    For Google, the past year has brought renewed purpose and greater urgency to our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. At a time when so many aspects of our lives and work are moving online, it’s even more important to make technology accessible and helpful for everyone. 

    This goal is at the heart of our partnership with Reliance Jio. I was proud to help launch this partnership last year. It was the first and biggest equity investment from the ₹75,000 crore ($10 billion) Google for India Digitization Fund.

    Our vision was to bring affordable access to information for Indians in their own language, to build new products and services for India’s unique needs, and to empower businesses with technology.

    I’m excited that today, we can announce the next steps in this vision, starting with a new, affordable Jio smartphone, created with Google. Our teams have optimized a version of our Android OS especially for this device. It will offer language and translation features, a great camera, and support for the latest Android updates.

    It is built for India and it will open up new possibilities for millions of new users who will experience the internet for the very first time. And we can’t wait to show you the device later this year.

    I’m also proud to announce that we are taking our collaboration further with a new 5G partnership between Google Cloud and Jio.

    It will help more than a billion Indians connect to a faster and better internet, support businesses in their digital transformation, and help Jio build new services in sectors like health, education and more — laying a foundation for the next phase of India’s digitization.  

    As part of this collaboration, Reliance will also shift its core retail businesses to Google Cloud’s infrastructure. They will be able take advantage of Google’s AI and machine learning, e-commerce, and demand forecasting offerings. Harnessing the reliability and performance of Google Cloud will enable these businesses to scale up as needed to respond to customer demand. 

    Empowering businesses as they embark on their digital transformation is a key part of our mission in India, and I’m excited for the innovations this partnership will help unleash. We are proud to play a part in India’s next wave of technological innovation. 

    Helping to connect 1.3 billion Indians to the opportunities the internet creates is meaningful to all of us at Google — and certainly to me personally. I know that with greater access to smartphones and improved connectivity, there’s no limit to what India’s people can do. 

    We look forward to getting technology into the hands of more people and to exploring what more we can achieve together in the years ahead.

  • 7 ways admins can help secure accounts against phishing in G Suite7 ways admins can help secure accounts against phishing in G Suite

    7 ways admins can help secure accounts against phishing in G Suite7 ways admins can help secure accounts against phishing in G Suite

    Reading Time: 5 minutes

    We work hard to help protect your company against phishing attacks—from using machine learning, to tailoring our detection algorithms, to building features to spot previously unseen attacks. While we block as many external attacks as we can, we continue to build and offer features designed to empower IT administrators to develop strong internal defenses against phishing.

    Here are seven things we recommend admins do in G Suite to better protect employee data.

    1. Enforce 2-step verification

    Two-step verification (2SV) is one of the best ways to prevent someone from accessing your account, even if they steal your password. In G Suite, admins have the ability to enforce 2-step verification. 2SV can reduce the risk of successful phishing attacks by asking employees for additional proof of identity when they sign in. This can be in the form of phone prompts, voice calls, mobile app notifications and more.

    Image 1: phishing post

    G Suite also supports user-managed security keys—easy to use hardware authenticators. Admins can choose to enforce the use of security keys to help reduce the risk of stolen credentials being used to compromise an account. The key sends an encrypted signature and works only with authorized sites. Security keys can be deployed, monitored and managed directly from within the Admin console.

    The Key to working smarter faster and safer

    2. Deploy Password Alert extension for Chrome

    The Password Alert chrome extension checks each page that users visit to see if that page is impersonating Google’s sign-in page and notifies admins if users enter their G Suite credentials anywhere other than the Google sign-in page.

    Admins can enforce deployment of the Password Alert Chrome extension from the Google Admin Console (Device management > App Management > Password Alert)—just sign in and get started. You should check “Force installation“ under both “User Settings” and “Public session settings.”

    Image 2: phishing post

    Admins can also enable password alert auditing, send email alerts and enforce a password change policy when G Suite credentials have been used on a non-trusted website such as a phishing site.

    3. Allow only trusted apps to access your data

    Take advantage of OAuth apps whitelisting to specify which apps can access your users’ G Suite data. With this setting, users can grant access to their G Suite apps’ data only to whitelisted apps. This prevents malicious apps from tricking users into accidentally granting unauthorized access. Apps can be whitelisted by admins in the Admin console under G Suite API Permissions.

    Image 3: phishing post

    4. Publish a DMARC policy for your organization

    To help your business avoid damage to its reputation from phishing attacks and impersonators, G Suite follows the DMARC standard. DMARC empowers domain owners to decide how Gmail and other participating email providers handle unauthenticated emails coming from your domain. By defining a policy and turning on DKIM email signing, you can ensure that emails that claim to be from your organization, are actually from you.

    5. Disable third-party email client access for those who don’t need it

    The Gmail clients (Android, iOS, Web) leverage Google Safe Browsing to incorporate anti-phishing security measures such as disabling suspicious links and attachments and displaying warnings to users to deter them from clicking on suspicious links.

    By choosing to disable POP and IMAP, Google Sync andG Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook, admins can ensure that a significant portion of G Suite users will only use Gmail clients and benefit from the built-in phishing protections that they provide. Additional measures include enabling OAuth apps whitelisting to block third-party clients as suggested earlier in the blog.

    Note: all third-party email clients, including native mobile mail clients, will stop working if the measures outlined above are implemented.

    Image 4: phishing post
    Disable-thirdparty.png

    6. Encourage your team to pay attention to external reply warnings

    By default, Gmail clients (Android, Web) warn G Suite users if they’re responding to emails sent from outside their domain by someone they don’t regularly interact with, or from someone not in their contacts. This helps businesses protect against forged emails, from malicious actors or just plain old user-error like sending an email to the wrong contact. Educate your employees to look for these warnings and be careful before responding to unrecognized senders. Unintended external reply warnings are controlled from the Admin console control in the “Advanced Gmail” setting.

    Image 6: phishing post

    7. Enforce the use of Android work profiles

    Work profiles allow you to separate your organization’s apps from personal apps, keeping personal and corporate data separate. By using integrated device management within G Suite to enforce the use of work profiles, you can whitelist applications that access corporate data and block installation of apps from unknown sources. You now have complete control over which apps have access to your corporate data.

    Image 7: phishing post

    These steps can help you improve your organization’s security posture and become more resistant to phishing attacks.
