At the event, Google shared how it’s using AI to improve medicine for physicians, researchers, and ordinary people.Also: Google’s AI co-scientist is ‘test-time scaling’ on steroids. What that means for researchSeveral of Google’s initiatives are directly for doctors and medical scientists, such as an AI-powered co-researcher that helps develop hypotheses, an AI model that helps drug developers understand how safe or efficient a new medicine might be (hopefully giving in-development drugs an easier path to clearance), and a Gemini model that helps physicians create more personalized cancer treatment options.
