Explore how AI can help modernize public services. The new Gemini-powered planning template for councils, developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind, the Faculty and the UK government, shows how AI can handle administrative backlogs and case analysis to build stronger communities. By automating hours of manual data extraction and policy reference, this test aims to reduce home planning applications by 50%.
Learn how we fight AI scams. We have filed a civil suit targeting the cybercrime operation known as the “Outsider Enterprise.” Based in China and affiliated with Telegram, the network distributes “phishing tools” that allow criminals to launch fake text campaigns that appear to be from Google and other trusted products. We are also promoting seven bipartisan bills to fight fraud, including AI-powered fraud, and to use powerful AI tools to fight AI-powered fraud.
Learn how AI is helping communities cope with extreme weather. At AI for the Planet, we've shared how a decade of AI research is tackling climate issues. Our updated models now help predict river floods seven days in advance, track bushfire boundaries using satellite and storm forecasting methods with greater confidence. We brought these real-time alerts to Search and Maps to help our global partners and communities access the actionable information they need to stay safe.
See how AI adoption can support workflow. We worked with Public First – a public policy and research agency – on one of the most extensive UK AI adoption studies to date. Research shows that the adoption of AI in the workplace has more than doubled in the past year (to 73%, from 34% in 2025). It also shows a clear correlation between intensive use of AI and increased job opportunity. The top 15% of UK AI users benefit from the technology. They accelerate their careers and are more likely to report strong performance reviews, promotions and salary increases. Public First turned these broad insights into interactive AI skills quizzes.
