Google Cloud and Ai2 commit $20M to advance AI-powered cancer research

Google Cloud and Ai2 have partnered with the Cancer AI Alliance (CAIA), a consortium of cancer research institutions and technology companies, to harness artificial intelligence (AI) in the fight against cancer. 

The companies are each giving $10 million to the initiative and providing access to technology solutions that will help speed scientific discovery. Google Cloud will power planet-scale AI infrastructure and data analytics tools, while Ai2 will provide critical expertise in training large-scale models focusing on cancer research.

Leveraging Google Cloud infrastructure, Ai2 will play a leading role in AI training efforts across the Alliance, collaborating with individual cancer centers to develop and refine AI models tailored to their specific needs.
