The missing compliance certifications are the gap still unresolved.

In AI Infra, the UN and Google launched System Data Commons, an open-source, MCP-queriable knowledge graph built on Google's Data Commons technology and $2 million in Google.org support.

It replaces the old UN data portal and targets 80% of the UN's databases by 2027.

The UN keeps governance of the data itself.

I mean, I

remember I used to deal with the Google.org people and they were just like, all they did was do good works out internationally in the world.

Yeah,

they got the guy who cured malaria to run it.

Yeah.

A lot of really earnest do-gooder people.

I'm sure that all of this was sort of Google.org.

It was, you know, as these things are set up as a tax structure, you know, this is sort of how it not to say that people aren't doing incredibly, you know, well-intentioned work.

So it's a greener situation for students, which I love as well.

The collaboration is supported by a six month long google.org fellowship, and it's a grant from google.org as well.

So these tools are going to be available in the classroom for the entire 2026 school year.

Now onto something a little bit more controversial.

[laughs] For my book, I spoke to Brad Smith, who's the president of Microsoft, and he has been one of the leaders in the tech industry pushing for computer science in schools.

And I also spoke to Maggie Johnson, who is the head of google.org, who is his counterpart at Google in terms of, you know, supporting computer science in schools.

And I'm grateful that tech executives talk to me because I think it's really important that we understand how tech companies are thinking about what they're doing in schools.

And Brad Smith said philanthropy in the private sector is doing this work because public schools have failed to do what they're supposed to do, and his view is that public schools should be teaching modern subjects like computer science, and they were not equipped to do it fast enough, and the tech industry stepped in to help.

La actualización incorpora diagramas interactivos en tiempo real, gráficas, figuras geométricas que se adaptan mientras los estudiantes arrastran elementos en pantalla, además de un generador de tareas para docentes que permite a los educadores corredactar y aprobar problemas junto al modelo antes de que los alumnos los vean.

Seis ingenieros de Google trabajaron seis meses en esto a través de una beca de Google.org. Para saber quién apareció en la lista de Time este año, de vuelta con Amber.

Time ha publicado su AI Ciento para 2026.

Sam Altman, Dario y Daniela Amodei y Elon Musk encabezan los nombres en la cima, junto a Michael Truell, CEO de Cursor, Andrew Feldman, fundador de Cerebras, y Mikey Shulman de Suno, bajo el sello de innovadores.

There is also an amazing story that highlights how AI can help become more inclusive by better reflecting the languages that people use every day.

Microsoft's AI for Good Lab, in partnership with the Gates Foundation, Google.org, and the Masakin African Language Hub, has announced the winners of the Lingua Africa Open Call.

This initiative is focused on addressing a major challenge in AI today, which is that thousands of African languages remain underrepresented in data sets, models and digital tools.

The program selected 26 projects spanning more than 50 African languages, dialects and sign languages spoken by over 500 million people across 47 African countries.

We have already reached... more than 310,000 of Malaysians to our various AI initiatives.

And this year, through the AI Opportunity Fund with AVPN, Google.org, and the Asian Development Bank, we are creating another 50,000 AI learning opportunities for students, educators, and entrepreneurs.

But we also continue working at the community level.

We have worked with hundreds of micro-entrepreneurs who have collectively generated more than RM2.7 million in income.

So initially, Google has always been involved in health in, in many different ways.

You've Google.org.

Mm-hmm.

Um, we have kept Google Health more on an, an enterprise-
