Google DeepMind is launching new programmes in Singapore as part of a national partnership with the Singapore Government to apply frontier AI to healthcare, education, and scientific research. The partnership aims to create an additional S$3.3 billion in economic value through faster R&D by 2040, with initial applications including AI co-clinician research, pandemic preparedness initiatives, and Gemini access for all educators from primary schools to junior colleges. The expanded presence will support public sector transformation, workforce development, and responsible AI deployment across the Asia-Pacific region.

Calico Life Sciences used an AI tool called Co-Scientist to analyze aging research literature and generate testable hypotheses about how cells protect themselves against stress. The team applied this approach to study the integrated stress response, a cellular mechanism that changes with age, and designed experiments based on AI-generated hypotheses that produced novel findings. The results will be published and may inform understanding of how cellular stress response contributes to aging-related diseases.

The National Hurricane Center used Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI model to predict Hurricane Melissa would reach Category 5 strength in Jamaica five days in advance with 80% confidence, marking the first time a storm was successfully predicted to reach that intensity from such weak initial conditions. The five-day lead time allowed Jamaica's Meteorological Service to coordinate evacuations and resource mobilization before the October 2025 landfall. Early warnings enabled officials to reduce harm to communities and protect livelihoods that would otherwise have been lost.
