For example, LaMDA understands quite a bit about the planet Pluto. It’s open domain, which means it is designed to converse on any topic. LaMDA is a language model for dialogue applications. Today I am excited to share our latest research in natural language understanding: LaMDA. The richness and flexibility of language make it one of humanity’s greatest tools and one of computer science’s greatest challenges. That’s because language is endlessly complex: We use it to tell stories, crack jokes and share ideas - weaving in concepts we’ve learned over the course of our lives. Yet, there are still moments when computers just don’t understand us. We’ve also used AI to improve the core Search experience for billions of people by taking a huge leap forward in a computer’s ability to process natural language. These advances have powered improvements across Google products, making it possible to talk to someone in another language using Assistant’s interpreter mode, view cherished memories on Photos or use Google Lens to solve a tricky math problem. We’ve made remarkable advances over the past 22 years, thanks to our progress in some of the most challenging areas of AI, including translation, images and voice. That means being helpful to people in the moments that matter and giving everyone the tools to increase their knowledge, success, health and happiness. We continue to approach that mission with a singular goal: building a more helpful Google, for everyone. At Google, it’s also given renewed purpose to our mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The last year has put a lot into perspective. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by COVID and we are all hoping for better days ahead. Places such as Brazil, and my home country of India, are now going through their most difficult moments of the pandemic yet. COVID-19 has deeply affected our entire global community over the past year and continues to take a toll. Of course, it’s not the same without our developer community here in person. Pulling up to our Mountain View campus this morning, I felt a sense of normalcy for the first time in a long while. It’s great to be back hosting our I/O Developers Conference this year.
