Fresh on the heels of its Google Cloud Next conference in San Francisco, where a host of generative AI projects and tools was already unveiled, Google announced on Monday the launch of the Digital Futures Project, which aims to bring together diverse voices in AI development. Google also announced a $20 million fund to support the “responsible development of AI.”
“Through this project, we’ll support researchers, organize convenings, and foster debate on public policy solutions,” Google Director of Product Impact Brigitte Gosselink wrote in a blog post.
Gosselink said that while AI has the potential to make life easier, it also raises questions about fairness, bias, adverse impacts on the workforce, misinformation, and security. To tackle these challenges, Gosselink said it will take the cooperation of leaders in the tech industry, academia, and policymakers.
The first recipients of the $20 million fund, Gosselink said, include the Aspen Institute, Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Center for a New American Security, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Institute for Security and Technology, Leadership Conference Education Fund, MIT Work of the Future, R Street Institute and SeedAI.
