Introducing the Google AI for Healthcare Professionals Certificate, practical training developed by clinicians at Google to help healthcare professionals use AI responsibly in their daily work.
Across America, small teams of county engineers are responsible for miles of local roads and the tough calls about what to fix first.
Built with Boone County, IL and the Illinois Association of County Engineers, ARIA helps rural counties plan repairs.
As one of 15 recipients of the $30M @Googleorg Impact Challenge for Government Innovation, ARIA helps local public servants optimize infrastructure resources, improve road safety, and make the case for funding.

Today we’re introducing Gemini 4 Carbon — our newest frontier model from @GoogleDeepMind.
Carbon is our strongest model with state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long horizon capabilities. Built for sustained agentic workflows, it delivers improved performance across domains — with greater alignment, transparency, and follow-through to respond to high-pressure tasks.
We’re rolling it out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access as soon as possible.

Google Beam can make you feel as though you’re in the same room as someone far away. For military service members, that’s more than just a nice-to-have—it helps them feel more connected with family members thousands of miles away.
That’s why we’re bringing @HP Dimension with @Google Beam to 20 USO locations globally.

Today in @Nature, we’re sharing the breakthrough research behind the Personal Health Agent (PHA)—the foundational science that was fundamental to how we built the Google Health Coach in the Google Health App.
People with Safe Browsing’s Enhanced Protection mode turned on in Chrome are 10X safer from phishing, social engineering, and other popular scams.

Today, Google and Voltus announced an expanded agreement to build a 1-gigawatt (GW) virtual power plant across the PJM grid region, which serves 67 million people across 13 states and Washington, D.C. This agreement builds on a 100-megawatt agreement from earlier this year, and will unlock clean capacity in the region, while delivering direct savings to participating local homes and businesses.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is one of the most important security shifts of the decade—but the research can feel too dense & scattered to operationalize. To help CISOs, developers, & policymakers, we launched Prepare for PQC, a public Gemini Notebook: goo.gle/4yAL1jr
It consolidates Google's PQC research, timelines, and deployment experience in one interactive space. Query grounded sources, listen to an Audio Overview, or test your team's readiness with flashcards.

Today at the Google Cloud Public Sector Summit, we announced Gemini for government services, a purpose-built industry solution built around five core architectural components:
✔️Skills for Government Work: Reusable instructions and context, written by domain experts, that teach Gemini to run specific tasks while directly applying governing statutes and agency standard operating procedures.
✔️Open Access to Systems: Secure connectors link Gemini directly to core agency databases and applications—including @salesforce, @Oracle, and @ServiceNow—as well as authoritative federal sources like the Federal Register and eCFR.
✔️Partner Agent Integrations: Built-in capabilities from public sector software providers that agencies can deploy right away to handle complex operations like public records discovery and batch redaction under a central control plane.
✔️Governed Control Plane: A single, secure environment for compliance teams to set and enforce strict policies using VPC Service Controls, CMEK, and Assured Workloads.
✔️Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower agency costs—routing high-volume document parsing and routine records sweeps to fast, low-cost models, while reserving high-reasoning models for complex policy analysis.
