Google Research, 2022 & Beyond: Language, Vision and Generative Models – Google AI Blog

I've always been interested in computers because of their ability to help people better understand the world around them. Over the last decade, much of the research done at Google has been in pursuit of a similar vision -- to help people better understand the world around them and get things done. We want to build more capable machines that partner with people to accomplish a huge variety of tasks. Analysis and synthesis tasks, like crafting new documents or emails from a few sentences of guidance, or partnering with people to jointly write software together. We want to solve complex mathematical or scientific problems. Transform modalities, or translate the world's information into any language. Diagnose complex diseases, or understand the physical world. We've demonstrated early versions of some of these capabilities in research artifacts, and we've partnered with many teams across Google to ship some of these capabilities in Google products that touch the lives of billions of users. But the most exciting aspects of this journey still lie ahead! With this post, I am kicking off a series in which researchers across Google will highlight some exciting progress we've made in 2022 and present our vision for 2023 and beyond. I will begin with a discussion of language, computer vision, multi-modal models, and generative machine learning models.
