Google plans release of 32 million AI-selected mosquitoes in Florida to test disease control

Google is seeking to conduct large-scale field trials in Florida using male mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia bacteria, selected with AI and automation, to reduce mosquito populations and curb the spread of diseases such as West Nile virus. Public EPA documents show its Debug project applied to release up to 32 million Wolbachia-treated male house mosquitoes in Florida and 32 million in California, with Florida releases split over two years. Public comments run until June 5.

Google DeepMind releases one-year results for AlphaEvolve; DNA variant detection errors cut 30 percent

Google DeepMind released one-year results for its generative AI tool AlphaEvolve, highlighting measurable performance gains across multiple fields. In life sciences, it cut DNA variant detection errors in the DeepConsensus model by 30 percent. In power grids, a model’s feasible-solution rate for AC optimal power flow rose from 14 percent to more than 88 percent. It also improved disaster-risk forecasts, proposed lower-error quantum circuits, and was applied to Google infrastructure and commercial use cases.
