Our latest health AI research updates

We've spent the past several years researching artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare -- exploring how it can help detect diseases early, expand access to care and more. We've taken a "move slow and test things" approach to prove efficacy, equity, helpfulness and safety above all. Today, at our annual health event, The Check Up, we shared health AI updates including our progress on our medical large language model (LLM) research, partnerships that are bringing solutions into real-world settings, and new ways AI can help with disease detection. Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) -- AI tools that demonstrate capabilities in language understanding and generation -- has opened up new ways to use AI to solve real-world problems. However, unlike some other LLM use cases, applications of AI in the medical field require the utmost focus on safety, equity, and bias to protect patient well-being.
