December 5, 2011 - DeepMind, Google's artificial intelligence research organization, has released a new model called Genie 2, which can generate an "infinite" variety of playable 3D worlds from a single image and text description. An update to the Genie model introduced earlier this year, Genie 2 marks a major breakthrough for AI in virtual world generation. Genie 2 is capable of generating interactive 3D scenes in real time based on textual descriptions and images entered by the user. For example, type in "cute humanoid robot in the forest" and the model will...

Since its release in February of this year, Sora has attracted...

Tech media outlet techopedia reported yesterday (October 2) that Google's DeepMind has partnered with BioNTech to develop AI lab assistants to help researchers plan experiments and predict outcomes. The project, led by Sir Demis Hassabis, head of Google's AI division, is designed to transform industries such as healthcare, energy, and education by promoting new types of scientific assistants. Hassabis attended a recent event hosted by the Nobel Foundation to emphasize that AI is transforming the field of biology, and hopes to create an assistant that can predict...

DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis recently said in a podcast that the current capabilities of artificial intelligence are overhyped. However, he also stressed that the long-term potential of this technology, especially in terms of general artificial intelligence (AGI), is still underestimated. Hassabis described the public's attention to artificial intelligence as a double-edged sword. While widespread interest shows that artificial intelligence will play a positive role in daily life, this attention also brings a lot of noise. For experts like Hassabis who have been deeply involved in the field of artificial intelligence for many years, it is a great pleasure to see the public gradually realize that artificial intelligence...

Google has recently released a new AI model called NeuralGCM, which combines machine learning and traditional technologies to build a new AI weather forecasting model. The relevant results were published in the journal Nature yesterday. Google said that compared with other weather forecast models purely based on machine learning, NeuralGCM is characterized by lower cost and higher accuracy in forecasting the weather in the next 1-10 days. Stephen Hoyer, co-author of the research report and Google Research, said that Neural…

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, said that the IQ of artificial intelligence (AI) has not yet reached the level of a cat. Hassabis attended the "2024 UK Future Conference" organized by the Global Change Institute and said in a public discussion with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair: If AI is measured as a general system, its IQ level is not even higher than that of a cat. However, with huge cash and computing investments, related research is progressing rapidly. One…

Google DeepMind has conducted its first study of the most common malicious AI applications, showing that artificial intelligence (AI) "deepfakes" that generate fake politicians and celebrities are more common than attempts to use AI to assist in cyberattacks. The study, a collaboration between Google's AI division DeepMind and Jigsaw, Google's research and development unit, aims to quantify the risks of generating AI tools that have been marketed by the world's largest technology companies in the pursuit of huge profits. A study of the motivations of bad actors associated with technology found that the production of...

OpenAI and Google DeepMind employees jointly expressed their concerns about the huge risks of advanced AI and the urgent need for stronger supervision. In response, OpenAI issued a statement today, emphasizing its commitment to providing powerful and safe artificial intelligence systems. The official statement of OpenAI is translated as follows: We are proud to provide the most powerful and safest artificial intelligence systems, and we firmly believe that we can deal with risks in a scientific way. Given the importance of AI technology, we agree with the content of the open letter on how to better promote A…

Several former and current employees of OpenAI and Google DeepMind recently jointly issued an open letter expressing concerns about the potential risks of advanced artificial intelligence and the current lack of regulation of artificial intelligence technology companies. Image source: Pixabay The open letter pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence may bring a series of risks, such as exacerbating inequality in existing society, facilitating manipulation and the spread of false information, and out-of-control autonomous artificial intelligence systems may lead to human extinction. The letter stated that artificial intelligence companies have strong economic interests driving them to continue to advance artificial intelligence research and development, while…

After Google established the "Platforms & Devices" department to integrate and coordinate Android software and Pixel hardware resources, it recently announced the reorganization of its AI department, drawing on DeepMind and Google Research teams to form a new department to focus on the research and development and commercialization of AI. According to the press release, Google plans to integrate the resources of DeepMind, Google Research and other teams, simplify the development process, and concentrate resources on developing AI models with stronger performance and larger scale...

Google's AI chief said the company will invest more than $100 billion in the future to develop artificial intelligence technology, another sign of the ongoing investment race in Silicon Valley. At the TED conference in Vancouver, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis was asked about a potential $100 billion supercomputer called Stargate being planned by Microsoft and OpenAI.

No matter how powerful AI chatbots are, they will have a common problem: providing users with answers that are not true in a way that seems convincing. Simply put, AI sometimes speaks nonsense or even spreads rumors in its answers. Image source: Pixabay Preventing large AI models from behaving in this way is not easy and is a technical challenge. However, according to foreign media Marktechpost, Google DeepMind and Stanford University seem to have found a workaround. Researchers have launched a…

Google DeepMind’s robotics team announced three new advances designed to help robots make faster, better, and safer decisions in complex environments. One of them is a system for collecting training data, equipped with a “robot constitution” to ensure that your AI robot office assistant doesn’t bump into your human colleague on its way to get you more printer paper. Google’s data collection system, AutoRT, uses a visual language model (VLM) and a large language model (LLM) that work together to understand the environment, adapt to unfamiliar situations, and decide on appropriate tasks. The “robot constitution”…
