I spend a lot of time thinking about products, features, and the ways technology can make teaching and learning a little easier. But some of my favorite moments are when I get to connect directly with educators and hear how they’re actually putting these tools to work.
I’m proud to celebrate the incredible educators, schools, and systems being recognized today, and grateful for everything this community continues to teach us.

#LivingHeritage exists because people keep it alive.
Across all regions, bearers, practitioners, civil society organisations, cultural and academic institutions and national and local authorities are working together to safeguard, transmit and celebrate living heritage.
Passed down from generation to generation, these traditions and practices provide communities with a sense of continuity and belonging.
On the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, @UNESCO recognises and celebrates the living heritage present in our communities and beyond: the knowledge, practices, craftsmanship, foodways, rituals, performing arts and social customs that connect people across generations and cultures.

In @Nature this week, our new research shows how machine learning can improve weather forecasts two to six weeks out, a timeframe that's historically been very difficult to predict.
It's exciting to see the potential of this work to help us better prepare for extreme weather, manage natural resources, and make more informed decisions in agriculture.
There's a broader lesson here... the future may not just be about ever-more-capable models, but about building intelligent verification systems around them: systems that learn where models are systematically wrong, reason about cause and effect, and continuously calibrate predictions against reality.

It's World Space Week!
This year's theme is "Rocket Revolution" — celebrate with us by looking back to the launch of Artemis II, powered by our Space Launch System rocket and its 8.8 million pounds of thrust. Learn more about SLS: go.nasa.gov/4hEftTg
Artificial intelligence is changing education. But what does that mean for teachers?
@UNESCO's AI Competency Framework for Teachers sets out 15 competencies across five key areas, including AI ethics, pedagogy and a human-centred approach.
The goal? To help teachers harness AI while keeping human agency and teachers’ rights at the heart of education.

Vast spending on AI infrastructure has created a profit boom, but governments are seeing little of the benefit. Will the technology prove to be more of a headache than a tonic for their finances? Our finance experts weigh in, on The Insider economist.com/insider/the-in…

We’re sending TPUs to space (yes, really).
After years of research, we’re launching a satellite to evaluate if and how Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) hold up in orbit.
The test mission, as part of our latest moonshot — Project Suncatcher — is designed to gather data exploring how we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space.

ALT White text on a black background with photos of a TPU and a rocket orbiting Earth. The text reads: “Meet Project Suncatcher, our moonshot to test whether we can host AI infrastructure in space.”

ALT An image showing circuit boards, overlaid with text that reads: “We partnered with Planet to send a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit. We’ll be looking to see how well the TPUs withstand the harsh conditions of space to assess whether we can eventually host machine learning in orbit.”

AI capabilities are advancing exponentially by some measures. Infrastructure builds more linearly. Organizations can take years to change.
The result: bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities.
