Workspace Abuse Safety Protection works on identifying bad actors on Workspace platform, and blocking the abuse by various enforcement strategies.
With recent advent of agentic platform on Workspace (Workspace Intelligence), we recently began building out counter abuse systems for agents - whether bad actors use agentic workflow to automate abusive behaviors, OR non-abusive users inadvertently allow abusive behaviors by their agents.
AI will change the future of work in profound ways, and our products— Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Vids and Meet are at the forefront. From pre-computed summaries for email threads, summaries for meetings, and videos created from a document using lifelike AI avatars, our AI opportunity is huge. Our mission is to meaningfully connect people so they can create, build, and grow together and as part of the team you can build how productivity tools should work 5-10 years into the future. You will work with model builders (Google DeepMind), work with exceptional leaders, and have the ability to impact billions of users across the world.
