New insights from Google’s AI & Economy ATLAS
Google launched an interactive open-access experience for its AI & Economy ATLAS data and released research on how AI is reshaping global work and scientific research.
Why it matters
This data reveals specific regional adoption patterns and shows that while AI saves scientists time, it creates new bottlenecks in physical experimentation and validation.
The big picture
This data on global AI adoption patterns complements previous reports, such as the Microsoft Ireland index, regarding how AI is reshaping work and careers.
The details
- Scientists report saving nearly 7 hours a week, though they spend more time validating AI outputs. - Brazil and the UAE show higher AI adoption rates than their GDP per capita predicts. - LLMs are used widely across fields, while specialized models are more common in health and life sciences. - In Brazil and Germany, AI usage for manual tasks is 1.4 times the global average.
What's next
Google will continue the long-term ATLAS project and work with academic partners to deliver new insights on how AI transforms the economy.
