With a $20 million fund, Google.org will support the search for solutions to global problems and challenges in areas such as health, innovation, sustainability and artificial intelligence, among others.

The philanthropic branch of the technology company announced the creation of this investment fund to support the different scientific projects that apply AI as a key tool.

Google.org has indicated that the initiative “promises to accelerate discoveries in areas such as rare diseases, sustainability and experimental biology.”

With this fund, it will provide financial support “to academic and non-profit organizations around the world that are using AI to address increasingly complex problems at the intersections of different scientific disciplines.”

Maggie Johnson, vice president and director of Google.org, indicated that she will work with internal leaders from Google DeepMind, Google Research, as well as other AI-focused teams and external experts to identify and announce organizations.

She added that they will provide $2 million in Google Cloud credits “for all organizations and free technical expertise from Googlers.”

The creation of this fund joins more than $200 million that Google.org has disbursed to organizations that have used AI to accelerate their scientific work in the last five years.
