Google has announced the first iteration of the AI & Economy ATLAS, a large-scale, de-identified study looking at how people are using AI at work and in day-to-day life. The company said the project is intended to provide an early view of a fast-changing landscape as AI capabilities advance and its use evolves.
The announcement also included the launch of the Alliance for America’s Skilled Trades, which Google is setting up with BlackRock, Carhartt, and Ford. The group is aimed at helping meet growing demand for skilled trades workers by building a stronger pipeline for the skilled trades, scaling evidence-based training approaches, and expanding opportunities nationwide through cross-industry partnerships.
Google also said AlphaEvolve is now generally available to all Google Cloud customers on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The Gemini-powered AI code-optimization agent is designed to help users find more efficient algorithms by taking a baseline algorithm and stated goals, then automatically searching for better solutions and returning human-readable, optimized code.
