Google DeepMind is opening a new research lab in Singapore to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The company has more than doubled its APAC team over the past year and will focus the Singapore lab on advancing Gemini capabilities, linguistic inclusivity for Asian languages, and collaboration with regional governments and institutions. The expansion aims to tailor AI technologies to serve the diverse needs of Asia-Pacific communities and build on existing applications like using AlphaFold to study Parkinson's disease and developing multilingual AI models for Southeast Asian languages.
