Stories of people around the world using Google technology to solve big problems, answer hard questions and take action. Watch the series: http://yt.be/SearchOn

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already a part of our everyday lives – from search, to translate, to finding all the dog photos we’ve ever taken. Soon, it will also have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. For the past few years, Google researchers have been exploring ways these same technologies could help advance the fields of medicine and science, working with scientists, doctors, and others in the field. In this video, we share a few early research projects that have big potential. Check out the description below for more info on each project.

Aditya Shah and Sanjana Shah, two friends and high school students from Cupertino, California, wanted to figure out a way to use technology to help prevent wildfires from destroying the forests they grew up with and loved so much. Using TensorFlow, Google’s open-source machine learning tool, they built a Smart Wildfire Sensor, which can help predict where wildfires are most likely to occur in a given area so firefighters are better prepared to stop them.

Rebecca Moore, Director of Google Earth, Earth Engine & Outreach, introduces the Environmental Insights Explorer – a new tool created by Google in collaboration with the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (https://www.globalcovenantofmayors.org), is designed to help level the playing field for small cities, amplify the emissions insights of big cities, and ultimately accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.

In Brazil, we wanted to explore how teachers and students are using technology to empower a rising generation of innovative changemakers. At the University of Paraná, professor Ellen Rodrigues and her students lead an initiative to empower people with disabilities through sports. Tune into the hashtag #inovarparamim to see how students and teachers in Brazil are thinking about innovation.
