    Google DeepMind's PlanAssist to expand to 12 UK local planning authorities

    PlanAssist, an AI planning tool developed by Google DeepMind in collaboration with the UK government, will expand to another 12 local planning authorities in England, bringing the total number of participants to 15. In early pilots in Barnet, Camden and Dorset, the tool reduced the average time planning officers spent on assessment tasks for household residential applications by 58%, and more than 70% of generated reports were approved by officers without modification. Built on Gemini, PlanAssist verifies application materials and drawings, checks against heritage protection restrictions and local and national planning policy, reviews prior objections, and drafts reports with citations, while the final decision remains with planning officers. The tool has been in pilot since June and is now entering a 12-month Beta phase; if testing goes smoothly, the UK government plans to make it available to all local councils in England in 2027.

    Google DeepMind expands PlanAssist to 12 more local planning authorities

    The AI planning tool PlanAssist, developed by Google DeepMind in partnership with the UK government, will be expanded to 12 additional local planning authorities in England, bringing the total number of participants to 15. In early pilots in Barnet, Camden and Dorset, the tool cut the average time planning officers spent assessing household residential applications by 58%, and more than 70% of the generated reports were approved by officers without modification. Built on Gemini, PlanAssist verifies application materials and drawings, checks against heritage protection restrictions and local and national planning policy, reviews past objections, and drafts reports with citations, with the final decision still made by planning officers. The tool has been piloted since June and is now entering a 12-month Beta phase; if testing goes smoothly, the UK government plans to make it available to all local councils in England in 2027.

    Google DeepMind, together with WRI and IIASA, releases ForTy 2020, a 10-meter-resolution global forest type map

    Google DeepMind and Google Research, together with the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), released Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020, which classifies every 10×10-meter parcel of land worldwide into six forest and land-use types, serving as a key baseline for the European Union's deforestation regulation. The team trained the model on about 1.7 million labeled locations and used AlphaEarth Foundations embedding vectors as a key input; in validation at more than 9,000 randomly sampled points, the forest type classification accuracy was 90%, and the accuracy in distinguishing forest from non-forest was 95%. A companion year-by-year time series from 2017 to 2025 is also openly available and can be used free of charge under an open license on Google Earth Engine.
