It said more than 250,000 researchers and developers use its tools, including genomics software applied to 2.5 million genomes and health models downloaded 4.8 million times.
Google highlighted collaborations with UCSC, AIIMS, CSIRO and global consortia, plus datasets spanning 1.8 billion building detections, brain maps and flood forecasting covering 150 countries and 2 billion people.
The company said these open resources have supported advances in disease diagnosis, conservation and disaster response, and it plans to expand AI-enabled, agentic scientific workflows and developer communities across Asia-Pacific.
How will Google address the challenges of data reliability, sustainability, and potential misuse as open science tools become more widely adopted?
Could generative and agentic AI truly revolutionize scientific discovery, or will open science mainly benefit those already ahead in resources and expertise?
