As an Engineering Program Manager on the Google Maps team, Nathalia acts as a bridge builder, translating complex data into a seamless experience for billions of users. Her day-to-day work involves synthesizing vast streams of real-world information and complex AI models into a clear path forward for her engineering teams. “Having visited 12 Google offices around the world (and catching a few soccer matches along the way), I’ve immersed myself in our map at every stop,” Nathalia says. “This global journey gives me a firsthand understanding of how the world moves, which I use every day to lead projects and build a better map for everyone.” She has found that personal authenticity is often the secret ingredient to professional success, whether she’s tracking data or navigating a global launch. “Bringing my full, authentic energy to work is what empowers me to drive innovation and deliver world-class projects for Google Maps.” Nathalia’s advice for those interested in similar roles: “Learn how to anticipate where the project is going next and strategically position your team for the win.” Explore roles on the Google Maps team → https://goo.gle/4r1ZAcn

It once took 13 years and $3 billion to sequence the human genome. Today, Google AI tools like DeepVariant can help researchers do it in days for a fraction of the cost. Now, we’re using these tools to help The Rockefeller University and the Earth BioGenome Project sequence the genomes of every species on this planet and create a biological map of life on Earth. This data helps researchers understand and protect the genetic diversity of animals, such as: 🐧 African penguins 🦓 Grevy’s zebras 🐵 Cotton-top tamarins 🐸 Golden mantella frogs Through the Google.org AI for Science fund, we’ll help sequence 150 endangered species and make that data free to the public and to scientists everywhere to use in conservation efforts. See how we’re decoding life on Earth to protect it for future generations → goo.gle/4a8CE4d

Today, we announced that our Google Threat Intelligence Group successfully dismantled IPIDEA, a residential proxy network that served as the digital camouflage for over 550 threat groups globally. Automated attacks rely on a single structural vulnerability: the need to remain invisible. By executing a synchronized legal and technical strike, we didn’t just block IPs—we incinerated infrastructure adversaries spent years building. The Strategic Takedown: - Legal Decapitation: We seized control of management domains, effectively "pulling the plug" on the command-and-control center. - Ecosystem Defense: Through Google Play Protect, we’ve automated user warings and the removal of applications with the malicious code from hijacked devices, neutralizing the threat at the edge. When we destroy an adversary’s infrastructure, we force them to burn their most precious resource: time ⌛. Read Robert McMillan’s exclusive deep dive in The Wall Street Journal: https://lnkd.in/g76ygG-P Kudos to the team leading this complex operation. We aren't just defending the perimeter; we are reshaping the battlefield.

Meet Devansh, a software engineer (SWE) based in our New York City office. For Devansh, working at Google wasn’t always on his career roadmap. “When I was in school, I was very torn between staying in academia to pursue a PhD in algorithms research, or working in industry and pursuing a security-related job,” he explained. However, after a stint at a small cybersecurity company, Devansh knew he wanted to further explore industry opportunities — and he wanted to do it at a global scale. Now a SWE on one of Google Cloud’s security teams, Devansh builds tools and services that allow Cloud customers to monitor and verify the security of their data. Devansh shared a crucial piece of advice for students interested in following his footsteps. “Remember: people are not as scary as they seem! As a student, I used to be so intimidated to reach out and ask for help. Whether for networking, problem-solving, debugging or even just career advice, I find that so many people are very willing and supportive to share their experience or advice if you just ask.” In short: “Just reach out!” Want to make an impact like Devansh?

Introducing Project Genie: An experimental research prototype powered by Genie 3, our world model, that lets you prompt an interactive world into existence — and then step inside. 🌎 Last year, we previewed Genie 3, a general-purpose world model capable of generating diverse, interactive environments. Now, we’re taking the next step with a dedicated, interactive prototype focused on immersive world creation — powered by Genie 3, Nano Banana, and Gemini. Project Genie allows you to create and explore your own worlds as they generate in real time around you, simulating real-world physics and interactions as you move. Building AGI requires systems that navigate the diversity of the real world — and world models like Genie are an important step toward meeting that challenge. It's rolling out today to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. (18+). We can’t wait to see the worlds you build. Learn more → goo.gle/4tlCFuG

It turns out one of the quickest ways to bring Googlers together is to put them in a room… and give them something tricky to figure out. Enter Escape the Office, a Google-themed escape room team-building activity that thousands of Googlers have participated in. During remote work, a small team of Googlers designed a virtual escape room to help teams stay engaged with each other while working from home. It quickly evolved into an in-person experience run by a team of volunteers that’s now available in nine Google offices worldwide. From Bangalore to Zurich, teams solve puzzle challenges created with everyday office items by collaborating in unexpected ways. “Googlers were hungry for connection… and they continued to be,” explains Minh, one of the creators. “Googlers get to discover colleagues they haven't met yet while unlocking a stronger understanding of the people they work with every day.” For global admin Laurentiu, watching teams come together remains the best part: “The chance to help keep Google’s culture of connection and creativity alive is the greatest reward of all.”

Meet Personal Intelligence in AI Mode in Search 🔍✨ Now, you can securely connect Search to Google apps like Gmail and Google Photos to get responses that are uniquely relevant to *you*. The ability to connect AI Mode to your Gmail and Google Photos is rolling out as a Labs feature. Eligible Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in English in the U.S. will automatically have access to the feature as it becomes available. Here’s VP of Product for Google Search, Robby Stein, on how this makes Search even more helpful ↓ Learn more: goo.gle/4jUZVLC
The most helpful search experience doesn’t just know the world’s information – it brings together that global knowledge with insights that are uniquely relevant to your world. That’s why today, we’re bringing Personal Intelligence to AI Mode in Google Search. By opting in to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos, you’ll start to unlock a search experience that understands your reality, not just your general interests. You can skip the part where you have to continue to re-explain your itinerary or preferences – AI Mode intelligently factors them in right from the start. I’ve been a power user of Personal Intelligence with Gmail and Google Photos enabled, and it’s helped me pinpoint new things that I wouldn’t have considered or discovered before – like recommendations for family activities on an upcoming trip. It also helped me find an awesome pair of new shoes! The ability to connect AI Mode to your Gmail and Google Photos is rolling out as a Labs feature for Google AI Pro & Ultra subscribers in the U.S. (Eligible subs will automatically have access to the feature as it becomes available). I’m really excited to get this out to more people and look forward to hearing what you think. https://lnkd.in/g5Bq6f-M
