Today at our Growing Up in the Digital Age Summit in Dublin, we announced that @Googleorg and YouTube are partnering on a first-of-its-kind $20M global initiative to address teen digital wellbeing, with new resources designed for teens. . A new global survey from Ipsos* with more than 9,500 teens globally shows why this is so vital: 82% of teens (13-15) are prioritizing their digital competence, and 72% are already turning to AI for digital wellbeing advice. Using Ipsos insights + teen input, @CPI_foundation will build a brand-new, multilingual, open-source resource center and curriculum to equip teens with digital wellbeing skills – from helping prevent digital stress to interacting with AI in healthy ways. We're partnering with incredible @YouTubeCreators to deliver this curriculum in formats that truly resonate with young people, meeting them where they are. A network of trusted youth-serving nonprofits—including Young Futures, @PlanGlobal and @CPI_foundation—will bring localized, in-person training to communities worldwide.

Amazing to see how our experimental research AI system for mammography interpretation identified more cases of interval cancers, as well as invasive cancer, and more cases overall, than conventional methods. Plus it could reduce clinicians’ screening workloads by an estimated 40%. Big step towards a future where AI serves as a reliable collaborator for clinicians.
