Google AI rises from Google Research

Because AI is where research is at.

Lori Grunin Senior Editor / Advice
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Just in advance of its Google I/O developer's conference on Tuesday, the tech behemoth rebranded its Google Research arm as Google AI.

The name reflects a lot of what Google Research was covering anyway, looking for different ways to apply its machine learning technologies.

And probably because it seems like every major tech company is into (or getting into) AI, so Google, a big player, needs to boast about its work as well. And it's better for search engine optimization.

Stay tuned for more news from Tuesday's Google I/O keynote.
