This investment is based on Google seeing four broad opportunities for AI, namely to help people access information in their own language, accelerate scientific discovery, provide warnings and tracking of climate disasters, and drive economic progress.
However, amidst the many benefits, it cannot be denied that AI also presents risks, for example with deep fakes, although he did not mention the impact of AI on climate. Therefore, many digital talents who are experts in the field of AI, who are qualified throughout the world, are needed to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI.
