Google opens Google Home to third‑party AI agents via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Google Home now supports a Home MCP integration using the Model Context Protocol that lets third‑party AI agents (e.g., Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, Google Antigravity) access device state and event history, control supported devices (with enforced safety limits), build custom dashboards, and interact via voice. The feature is initially limited to Google Home Premium Advanced users in the US, requires creating a Google Cloud project, and Google warns agents can produce unexpected behavior despite rate limits and protections (e.g., agents are not allowed to unlock doors).

Google Research study on assistive AI for CT lung cancer screening shows increased radiologist specificity

Google Research reports a retrospective multinational study (US and Japan) in Radiology AI evaluating an assistive ML system for lung cancer CT screening that outputs a four-category suspicion rating and localized regions of interest; randomized reader studies found that radiologist specificity increased with model assistance. The team improved prior models (including self-attention), deployed a 13-model system on Google Cloud/GKE, and open-sourced code to generate PACS-compatible CT images to facilitate similar evaluations.
