Published: · Updated:
Google.org announced on October 14 that 17 organizations worldwide had been selected for its AI for Science Impact Challenge and would receive a total of US$36 million. The company said applications came from more than 3,000 applicants across 30 countries; that is an application count, not a result from completed research.
Selected projects span disease research, climate and energy modelling, biology and materials science. Google.org’s announcement outlines project aims but reports no scientific findings or clinical impact. It gives a total program amount, not allocations for each recipient, so equal individual awards should not be inferred.
