Google is diving deeper into artificial intelligence, with the company opening a dedicated machine learning research center in its Zurich office, the search company announced on Thursday, June 16. The Google Research Europe center will focus on three areas: Machine intelligence, natural language processing, and understanding and machine perception.

The research center aims to deliver machine learning that can be put into practical use, to improve the machine learning infrastructure, and to assist the research community overall.

Google CEO Sudar Pichai recently told Forbes that embedding artificial intelligence into all of Google’s products is a "big focus" for him "There are things you can do now, some in two to three years and some that are deeper and will take more time to do. With Deep Mind and even some of our internal teams, we are focused on long-term AI."
