Google will provide up to 200 European scientific researchers with access to advanced artificial intelligence models and $3 million in computing credits. Delivered through Google DeepMind and Google Cloud, the offering includes access to scientific AI tools like AlphaFold 3, WeatherNext, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve, and AlphaEarth Foundations.
The researchers participating in the initiative will be selected by the European Commission under its Resource for AI Science in Europe (RAISE) programme.
Around 400 researchers from 34 countries called for an international body to oversee containment standards and security incident reporting for advanced AI. They proposed that frontier models be initially isolated from external networks, subjected to independent oversight, and bound by industry-wide standards to prevent unauthorized network access.
