What is Google Brain?
• Google Brain is a deep learning artificial intelligence research 
team at Google. Formed in the early 2010s, Google Brain 
combines open-ended machine learning research with 
systems engineering and large-scale computing resources.

Capturing headlines
• Google Brain, which began in 2011, by Jeff Dean, Greg Corrado, 
and Andrew Ng is an Artificial Intelligence system based on open 
learning that has been capturing headlines all over the world. 
Only a year after being fully developed, i.e., in 2012, it trained 
itself to identify the image of a cat based on 10 million images

Functioning
• Google Brain, as the name suggests, is meant to replicate, as 
closely as possible, the functioning of a normal human brain. And 
the team behind it has been largely successful in doing the same. 
In October 2016, the people behind the Brain tried to conduct a 
basic simulation of human communication between three AIs: 
Alice, Bob and Eve.

Alice, Bob & Eve
• The purpose was to have Alice and Bob communicate effectively, 
without Bob misreading Alice’s messages and without Eve 
intercepting them. The study showed that for every round where 
they failed to communicate properly, the next round showed a 
significant improvement in the cryptographic abilities of the two AIs.

Replicating humans
• Even though a normal person might think that cryptography as such 
is largely absent from normal human communication, nothing could 
be further from the truth. We communicate not only through words 
but also gestures – waves, eye rolls, and sighs. Had it not been for 
the long years that we have spent in society, undergoing the 
process of socialization, we would never have learned how to 
decode “these signals” – eyeballs, hand taps, body positioning.

Google Translate
• The Google Brain also contributed to Google Translate. In 
September 2016, Google Neural Machine Translation was 
launched. The team behind Google Brain pioneered a Multilingual 
GNMT System which amplified the previous one by enabling 
translations between multiple languages, thereby bolstering 
Google Translate on the whole.

Google Scale
• As part of Google and Alphabet, the team has resources and 
access to projects impossible to find elsewhere. Their broad and 
fundamental research goals allow them to actively collaborate 
with, and contribute uniquely to, many other teams across 
Alphabet who deploy the cutting edge technology into products.

Open Culture
• Google believes that openly disseminating research is critical to 
a healthy exchange of ideas, leading to rapid progress in the 
field. As such, they publish their research regularly at top 
academic conferences and release tools, such as TensorFlow, as 
open source projects.

Future
• Humans will be able to get answers to any questions they may 
have without making a sound or typing anything, with the help of 
Google Brain. It can then deliver tailored lessons catered to each 
individual. There’s even talk of AI devices being able to read facial 
expressions to determine whether the student is reacting 
positively or negatively to different learning methods.
