Google highlights AI research in genomics, weather forecasting, disease detection and education. James Manyika points to openly available AlphaGenome Atlas predictions and WeatherNext 3 as recent examples, alongside research partnerships and workforce training. He argues that wider benefits depend on collaboration, access and responsible use, while acknowledging that economic gains are not automatic and that scientific applications carry misuse risks.
