Google AI
Google AI provides developers with cutting-edge AI models, tools, and platforms to build innovative applications and transform development workflows. The division focuses on making AI accessible and helpful for every developer through products like Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Gemma open models, and AI Edge tools.
Founding Story
Google AI was founded on November 15, 2010, as Google's dedicated AI research division. It was formally announced by CEO Sundar Pichai at Google I/O in May 2017. The division originated from Google's commitment to advancing artificial intelligence research and applications. In 2023, Google underwent a major reorganization where Google Brain (the internal AI research team) merged with DeepMind (acquired in 2014) to form a unified Google DeepMind, accelerating AI development and bringing together two world-class AI labs under CEO Demis Hassabis.
