Google DeepMind recently announced the establishment of a new artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory in Singapore, aimed at promoting AI research and practical applications in the Asia-Pacific region. The creation of this new base builds on DeepMind's existing work in the region, and over the past year, the company's Asia-Pacific team has nearly doubled in size, showing the company's commitment to the field and its development potential.

The new laboratory will bring together a team of research scientists, software engineers, and AI impact experts, focusing on research and development in key areas. The team will continue to deepen fundamental research in language and cultural inclusivity, and enhance the capabilities of core AI models such as Gemini. In addition, the latest AI technologies will be applied to Google's various products and cloud computing services to better meet user needs.

Notably, AI models from Google DeepMind, such as Gemini, Veo, and Imagen, have already attracted widespread attention in the industry. These technological advances not only drive the rapid development of AI but also support various applications. The AI laboratory in Singapore will also collaborate closely with local government agencies, businesses, and academic institutions to promote more innovative projects.

Among them, the DeepMind's AlphaFold project has made breakthroughs in the biomedicine field. The Singapore research team used this AI program to make significant progress in Parkinson's disease research, discovering new methods for early diagnosis and targeted treatment, fully demonstrating the potential of AI in practical applications.

At the same time, Google has launched a benefit program for Singaporean university students, offering free Google AI Pro service for one year to eligible students. This service includes using the latest Gemini3Pro and Veo3.1 models, unlimited image upload analysis, and 2TB of storage space, aiming to provide students with more learning and research opportunities. This initiative echoes similar programs in India, indicating the company's emphasis on promoting AI education.
