How can Europe’s leading genomics researchers find the genetic switches driving complex diseases like Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease? Today, our Google DeepMind genomics team is launching AlphaGenome 2 - our next - generation DNA sequence model that predicts how genetic variants affect specific human cell types, rather than averages across whole tissues. Built on more than 100 million single-cell profiles across 68 tissues, including open-science data from the Human Cell Atlas, and strengthened by ongoing collaborations with the Wellcome Sanger Institute, AlphaGenome 2 delivers: ⚪ Nearly 2x variant discovery: Identifies nearly twice as many variants that change gene expression in specific cell types compared to our previous state-of-the-art model. ⚪ Zero-shot predictions without retraining: Scientists can upload a snapshot of gene activity from just a few dozen cells to predict how variants behave in unseen cell states, like immune cells responding to a vaccine. ⚪ Free academic access: Available today for non-commercial research via the AlphaGenome API and interactive Colab tutorials (strictly as a research tool, not for clinical or diagnostic use). Explore the research below plus an image comparison detailing how AlphaGenome 1 and 2 treat cell types: 👉 Blog: https://lnkd.in/ea_GBG6k 👉 Research: https://lnkd.in/eNGFwDt9 👉 Researcher Quota Grants (apply by 30 Nov): https://lnkd.in/e2Bcpv5G

🇪🇸 Andalusia's public broadcaster CanalSur brought the joy of the Cádiz Carnival - an event packed with rich, local dialects - to a global audience using AI for real-time translation. CanalSur used Google Cloud Gemini Flash model to generate multilingual subtitles as the show aired, with their media team refining the final captions for YouTube. The impact? Historically, nearly all of their 12.5M audience views came from Spain. Now, Germany, France, and the UK audiences have jumped into their top international markets for the first time. As Juande Mellado, Director General of RTVA, who own CanalSur, shared, this application of AI brought ‘the wit of Cádiz to reach the whole world,’ turning a complex operational challenge into an agile, cost-effective way to share local culture worldwide. This story reflects broader insights from the global Public First report, 'Empowering Human Creativity', including some EU specific stats and figures: 📎 550% average increase in reach for creators working in EU languages from AI translation, worth €22bn in revenue. 📎 €130B in estimated additional GDP a year by 2035 due to the impact of GenAI on the creative sector and wider economy. 📎 630K additional jobs expected in the creative sector over the next decade. From broadcasters to small businesses, to local creators all across Europe, AI can help teams expand reach, save time and support creative goals.

Wrapping up a great trip to Poland 🇵🇱. It was a privilege to brief media, customers and government stakeholders on the cyber threats we're seeing pick up across Eastern Europe. The conversations were candid, well informed, and a clear reminder of how much the region is on the front line. Two themes came up again and again: ❄️ 1. As we head into winter, one of our biggest concerns within Google Threat Intelligence Group is that more Russian threat actors are now willing to carry out destructive operations against European critical infrastructure. GRU-linked cyber actors have run destructive attacks before. But the attack on the Polish energy sector last year was the first time we've seen destructive intent from actors linked to the FSB. For critical infrastructure organisations, that means facing a wider range of Russian threats. Our own telemetry also keeps showing signs of Russian groups taking an interest in critical infrastructure across Europe. Moreover, adversaries linked to Belarus remain active in Eastern Europe. As demand on energy systems peaks over the coming months, resilience and preparedness matter more than ever. 🤖 2. We continue to observe adversaries both using AI and targeting it. On one side, there's a rise in LLMJacking, where attackers hijack organisations' AI compute and model access for their own ends. On the other, more adversaries are adopting autonomous attack frameworks. These let them move through networks extremely quickly and speed up their operations. Defenders need to match that speed. Thank you to everyone who hosted us and joined the conversations. Dziękuję!

Today, at the CEP Symposium 2026 in Brussels, we looked back at five years of partnership between euroconsumers and Google Europe through the Consumer Empowerment Project, a joint initiative that has grown into a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together different perspectives to address emerging challenges and advance consumer empowerment. This shared vision has taken shape through a range of initiatives that connect people, foster knowledge exchange and help consumers navigate an increasingly complex digital world: 🔹 Bridging knowledge and perspectives: Bringing together experts, policymakers and future consumer leaders to exchange ideas, share expertise and explore emerging challenges through the Consumer Leadership Academy and CLAx roundtables. 🔹 Empowering the next generation: Equipping young people with digital skills and literacy through the Kids Leadership Academy. 🔹 Measuring what matters: Assessing how digital services work for consumers in their daily lives through the Consumer Digital Empowerment Index. 🔹 Championing academic innovation: Supporting young scholars exploring data protection, AI and digital fairness through the "My Data is Mine" Award. So how to make the digital world work for European consumers? By putting consumer organisations, policymakers, industry, academia and civil society in the same room to tackle the tough questions. 🎬 Watch Antonio Balhanas (CEO, Euroconsumers) and Debbie W. (President, Google EMEA) reflect on 5 years of collaboration and what’s next for European consumers ⬇️

As AI-generated content becomes common, we face a new danger: real, physical historical photos and documents being dismissed as AI fakes. To help, Google.org is joining forces with the German Federal Ministry for Culture and Media and providing €300,000 of support to Authentic Memory. Authentic Memory, a spin off from researcher’s at Technical University of Munich, provides an open, vendor-independent technology that enables archives, memorials, and research institutions to cryptographically secure and verify the authenticity of their archives. It locks in cryptographic fingerprints, institutional signatures, and independent timestamps so archives and memorials can prove their records are real. This means Europe's invaluable archives can secure a permanent, verifiable proof of truth, which is fundamental to upholding historical facts and supporting a resilient European democracy.

Two weeks ago, I spoke at the Bitkom Privacy Conference about privacy in the agentic age. Since then, Meta Muse has pretty much taken over my feed. We're in a fascinating moment. For many, this first interaction with consumer agentic AI brings home how useful these systems can be, but also how important privacy and security guardrails are when they act on your behalf. With agents, privacy needs an ecosystem approach rooted in users reasonable expectations. Otherwise, we will get the convenience and the backlash at the same time. Three things from my Bitkom talk that we at Google know to be true: 1. 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁. Protection tailored to what you're actually trying to do, and friction only where it earns its place. Buying a book should be seamless. Sharing health data should not. 2. 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. Notices, consents and dashboards can't be the whole answer — we need new ways to deliver transparency and control without burying people in pop-ups. 3. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 "𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲" 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆. Industry, regulators and policymakers will have to build that baseline together through real-world practice and dialogue.
