Recently, reports have emerged indicating that Google has entered into close cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) following the outbreak of conflict with Hamas. This information comes from internal company documents obtained by The Washington Post, which reveal that employees from Google Cloud responded directly to requests from the Israeli military for AI tools in the weeks following the conflict. It is understood that after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7th, Google Cloud employees established contact with the IDF and emphasized the urgent need for responses in internal discussions.
At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Google DeepMind's CEO Demis Hassabis stated that the first drugs designed with the help of artificial intelligence could begin clinical trials by 2025. Hassabis also heads Isomorphic Labs, a drug research company under DeepMind. He stated, "Our plan is to have some AI-designed drugs enter clinical trials by the end of this year."
