Growth should never come at the expense of communities. That's why we're formalizing five water stewardship commitments for our data center operations.

AI has a water problem. Google thinks it has a fix https://t.co/yW56vZ7gVn

This is an important step forward: The EO aims to deepen government and industry collaboration and give cyber defenders more solutions to stop bad actors. We're doing our part to ensure defenders have the AI tools they need to keep America secure.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

Today @POTUS signed an EO that keeps America leading in AI while putting frontier AI capabilities to work strengthening our cyber defenses.

AI systems are now the most powerful tools we have ever had to harden our cyber infrastructure and stay ahead of adversaries. It is a real blessing that these capabilities are being developed by American industry, and not by those who would use them against us.

Across our AI efforts at @youtube, we’re focused on building the right guardrails to protect @youtubecreators and viewers on our platform.

Over the next few weeks, we’re rolling out:

👤Access to our likeness detection technology for all channels (18+), so you can see and flag which videos are using your likeness
🏷️ More prominent AI labels on long-form videos and Shorts
🔎 New signals that automatically detect AI in a creator’s content, helping them disclose it more easily

It’s been just one year since we launched AI Mode in Google Search and the momentum has been incredible: 1B+ monthly active users and queries doubling every quarter! But what’s even more incredible is seeing how user behavior is changing:
+ Beyond simple questions → 3X avg search query length compared to a traditional query
+ Beyond keywords → Planning queries (like weekend plans) are growing 80% faster
+ Beyond text → 1 in 6 searches are now multimodal, with image queries growing 40% MoM
+ Beyond quick q’s → Top first words in AI Mode queries:
1) what, 2) how, 3) I, 4) is, 5) can

Our new data center in Montgomery County marks an exciting new chapter for us in Missouri. We’re deeply committed to expanding our infrastructure responsibly, keeping energy affordable for the community, and unlocking new local jobs.

[Governor Mike Kehoe @GovMikeKehoe]

Today, we announced a historic $15 BILLION investment in Missouri from @Google.

This project is about more than infrastructure in Montgomery County—it's about connectivity.

Connecting communities to opportunity, workers to good-paying jobs, and Missouri to the future economy.

I'm in Policy Park inside the Shoreline Amphitheatre talking with folks about how governments are putting AI tools and now agents to work in areas like security, energy, education, and more.

Thanks to our Policy team and everyone who worked so hard to make #GoogleIO a success.

[Google @Google]

While AI is helping us tackle big challenges, it also poses new potential security risks. That’s why we’re focused on building tools that keep the broader ecosystem safe — like CodeMender, a code security agent that automatically finds and fixes critical software vulnerabilities.

Today, we’re inviting a select group of experts to test a new CodeMender API, and we’ll be launching it more broadly soon.

Three years ago, @Google introduced SynthID, our industry-leading digital watermarking technology. Since then, we've integrated SynthID into our most popular generative media tools.

At #GoogleIO, we announced the next phase in this work.

[News from Google @NewsFromGoogle]

Today, more than 900 million people across 230 countries and 70+ languages turn to Gemini for help every month — making Gemini the most widely available AI assistant in the world.
