A report from Google Cloud has highlighted how researchers in many fields are increasingly using cloud-based online collaboration and communication tools, AI and Machine Learning, following the disruption caused by the pandemic.
Polling almost 1,600 researchers from all over the world, the company found that many struggled to manage their workloads without interacting face-to-face with their colleagues and peers.
Globally, two-thirds (67%) reported a slowdown in progress, while 85% said they couldn’t innovate effectively. Furthermore, 77% struggled to test, compute and collaborate effectively in a remote working environment.
