In a significant move to accelerate AI development, Google has brought together its esteemed research teams, Google Brain and DeepMind, under the new banner of Google DeepMind.
In Brief
The integration of Google Brain and DeepMind into Google DeepMind represents a strategic alignment in AI research initiatives, aiming to foster innovation and collaboration.
This strategic merger is intended to position Google favorably alongside other technology leaders in the competitive AI landscape.
The restructured unit will actively engage with different Google product sectors to advance AI research and improve product offerings.
Alphabet Inc.'s decision to merge Google Brain with DeepMind into Google DeepMind reflects a tactical approach to remain competitive in AI against other significant entities, such as OpenAI with its ChatGPT model.
According to a blog post Under the leadership of Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of DeepMind, this newly structured unit is poised to collaborate extensively across Google's various product sectors, enhancing AI research and development efforts. The goal is to ensure that AI systems are both more advanced and developed in a secure and responsible manner.
Demis Hassabis stated, 'Google DeepMind will amalgamate two leading research teams in AI: the Brain team from Google Research and DeepMind. The achievements of both teams over the past ten years include pioneering technologies like AlphaGo, Transformers, word2vec, WaveNet, AlphaFold, and advancements in distributed systems such as TensorFlow and JAX, which are crucial for building and training extensive machine learning models.' deep reinforcement learning Back in 2010, Demis Hassabis along with Shane Legg and others started DeepMind, which Google later acquired for a whopping $500 million in 2014. The company became renowned for its groundbreaking achievements in AI, including creating systems that can outsmart professional human players in games like chess and Go. Furthermore, DeepMind has made notable strides in areas like reinforcement learning and complex neural networks, leading to significant advancements in fields like protein folding, drug discovery, and much more.
