Google DeepMind and filmmakers used AI to synthesize lost footage in short film 'Love, Rendered,' a generative video application.

Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas predicts effects of 9B DNA variants using deep learning, advancing genomic prediction but outside core AI architecture/systems focus.

Google DeepMind has unveiled an AI tool that its scientists claim could help unravel the mysteries of the human genome and transform our understanding of biology, accelerating scientific research and ultimately paving the way for new treatments for diseases. The platform, called AlphaGenome Atlas, contains a "predictive map of every possible DNA letter change in the human genome," the researchers said in a blog post published on Tuesday. DNA is written in an alphabet of four chemical "letters" - usually shortened to A, C, G, and T - and the human genome contains roughly three billion letter p...

Google DeepMind releases WeatherNext 3, an updated weather forecasting AI model with improved accuracy.

Scientists at Google Deepmind and Google Research released a new artificial intelligence model for weather forecasting today that sees our changing atmosphere more clearly and predicts its behavior more often. WeatherNext 3 is the latest wave of a sea change in meteorology brought out by deep learning techniques, and Google says it will start feeding […]

Anthropic has clarified how it's planning to apply invisible watermarks to Claude-generated text in order to comply with Europe's AI transparency rules. On Friday, Anthropic announced that Claude's text marking system is "a version of the SynthID-Text approach" - an open-source watermarking technology developed by Google DeepMind that creates detectable patterns using wording probabilities. This watermarking feature, alongside C2PA support for Claude-processed images, is being introduced to meet Anthropic's obligations under the European Union's AI Act, which requires synthetic audio, image, ...

Today on Decoder, I’m talking with Hayden Field, The Verge’s senior AI reporter, about a question that’s been rocketing around the tech industry for the past week: Is Google losing the AI race? That’s because last week Google announced a bombshell reorganization of its AI division, Google DeepMind. Jeff Dean, the company’s chief scientist, is leaving to form his own startup and DeepMind cofounder and CEO Demis Hassabis is stepping aside to focus on longer-term research. You can read these moves, and Google’s reaction, in a lot of different ways. So I really wanted to sit down with Hayden to d...

In the AI industry, Google prides itself on seeming like the adult in the room: quiet, stable, time-tested. On Wednesday, even as the company announced its largest AI org shakeup yet, Google and its leaders presented a unified front, keeping their messaging focused on how the changes tee up future success. But the reality is that the laundry list of executive changes likely signal deeper issues within Google's AI organization. That starts with its tenuous position in the AI race, and it stretches to problems like Google DeepMind leader Demis Hassabis' interest in longer-term research over sho...

Google is making some significant AI leadership changes, including a major shift for Google DeepMind leader Demis Hassabis. Hassabis will become the chair of Google DeepMind and the chief scientist at Alphabet, CEO Sundar Pichai announced on Wednesday. Hassabis will continue to lead Alphabet's Isomorphic Labs, which aims to use AI to develop drugs. Koray Kavukcuoglu, formerly DeepMind's CTO, is stepping up to become Google's SVP of DeepMind and will report to Pichai. Kavukcuoglu will remain Google's chief AI architect as well. "​​As you've heard me say many times, I've always believed the No....

Apptronik’s Apollo 2 robot takes a baseball glove off of a shelf. | Image: Google Google DeepMind says the latest version of its Gemini Robotics AI model can "control entire humanoid robots." While the previous model focused on controlling a humanoid robot's upper body, Gemini Robotics 2 now supports "whole-body motions" ranging from its feet to fingertips, according to an announcement on Thursday. The new model will allow humanoid robots to perform a wider range of actions, as it allows them to walk, crouch, stretch, and manipulate objects. Videos shared by Google show how Apptronik's Apollo...

Writing in a blog post, the Google DeepMind CEO and cofounder said the US should lead the initiative, arguing that the country is the best place to set global standards "given its economic and technical standing." The organization, which could resemble existing regulators like the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, would be made up of lea...
