Google is preparing to launch its answer to rival OpenAI's GPT-4: Gemini. Gemini is a next-gen, multimodal AI model due for release later this year. The tech is a next-gen, multimodal AI model being worked on by a team of researchers pulled from Google's now-merged AI divisions DeepMind and Google Brain. Gemini is multimodalGoogle's Gemini is a multimodal AI, meaning it can process more than one type of data. Researchers behind the SemiAnalysis blog have also predicted that Google's Gemini would likely outperform GPT-4 because of Google's access to top-flight chips.

Cathie Wood says a U.K.-founded company is "one of the best AI companies in the world." It now operates as Google DeepMind. This year, Alphabet said it's merging DeepMind with an internal Google Research team called Brain . It's a move designed to bring two groups focused on AI closer together as the battle for AI heats up. Google is racing to compete with Microsoft and other tech companies in AI, with Microsoft already making huge strides with its investment in OpenAI.

☆ Google researchers say you can tell AI to 'take a deep breath and work on this problem step by step' to improve its accuracy
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Kai Xiang Teo | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Google DeepMind researchers published a study on September 7 on how simple prompts could improve AI's accuracy. "Take a deep breath and work on this problem step by step" was the most effective phrase tested, per the study. When the phrase was used, Google's PaLM 2 AI model was 80% accurate with math problems, compared to 34% without it. Meanwhile, prompting the AI with "let's think step by step" saw an increase in accuracy to 71%. Some companies are even hiring "prompt engineers" who specialize in crafting questions and phrases for AI to improve its responses.

REUTERS/Beck Diefenbach/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 19 (Reuters) - Meta (META.O) CEO Mark Zuckerberg's philanthropy venture plans to build a computing system powered by artificial intelligence for life sciences research to study human cells and diseases. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, created by Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, will use the computing system to run openly available AI models, the philanthropy venture said on Tuesday. AI has been used in the life sciences domain for some years. The system will be trained on datasets from software tool CZ Cell x Gene, as well as resources from Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network and Chan Zuckerberg Institute for Advanced Biological Imaging, and publicly available data. The company released its latest Llama 2 model in July, and offered it for free to businesses of a certain size.

☆ The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.

When the summer began, ChatGPT traffic suddenly fell. One hypothesis stood out: Millions of students went on summer break, so they didn't need ChatGPT to cheat — er, I mean research. Back when summer began, online search interest in Minecraft jumped, while ChatGPT interest declined. Mark Shmulik, a top internet analyst at Bernstein, made this point at the start of the summer, when usage fell. "This idea that if the ChatGPT drop-off is due to students on summer break, that implies a narrower audience and fewer use cases."

DeepMind's Mustafa Suleyman recently talked about setting boundaries on AI with the MIT Tech Review. "You wouldn't want to let your little AI go off and update its own code without you having oversight," he told the MIT Technology Review. Last year, Suleyman cofounded AI startup, Inflection AI, whose chatbot Pi is designed to be a neutral listener and provide emotional support. Suleyman told the MIT Technology Review that though Pi is not "as spicy" as other chatbots it is "unbelievably controllable." And while Suleyman told the MIT Technology Review he's "optimistic" that AI can be effectively regulated, he doesn't seem to be worried about a singular doomsday event.

A newly released biography on Musk details how he justified poaching a Google scientist to then-CEO Larry Page. "And I was like, 'Larry, if you just hadn't been so cavalier about AI safety then it wouldn't really be necessary to have some countervailing force," Musk said. Sutskever joined Google's AI unit, Google Brain, in 2013 along with Geoffrey Hinton — also known as the "godfather of AI." "And I was like, 'Larry, if you just hadn't been so cavalier about AI safety then it wouldn't really be necessary to have some countervailing force," Musk added. When Musk started his own AI startup — xAI — in July, he again poached AI experts from Google and OpenAI.

At Musk's 2013 birthday bash, he and Larry Page discussed AI's role in humanity's future, per biographer Walter Isaacson's retelling. Page labeled Musk a "specist," while Musk defended his views as "pro-human." Musk even attempted to stop Google's acquisition of AI company DeepMind, saying Page shouldn't control the future of AI, Isaacson wrote in a Time Magazine report. Per Isaacson, the reason behind the thwarting attempt was Musk's distrust of then-CEO of Google, Larry Page, and his views towards AI.

Funding to European startups across the board dropped by almost 60% to $23 billion in the first six months of 2023, according to Crunchbase data. ElevenLabs, a London-based artificial intelligence startup founded by Google and Palantir alumni, pulled in $18 million at a $100 million valuation a year after it was founded. Mistral, another European startup set up by ex-Facebook and DeepMind staffers, raised $113 million a month after it was founded. AI has been of particular interest to investors with similar hype surrounding a deal for London-based text-to-voice startup ElevenLabs. Industry stakeholders believe that teams springing from already successful companies to set up their own startups will be very attractive with some predicting startups founded between 2022 and 2024 primed to be very in demand in the future.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. should allow Nvidia's (NVDA.O) artificial intelligence (AI) chips only to buyers who agree to ethically use the technology, Google DeepMind's co-founder Mustafa Suleyman told the Financial Times on Friday. The US should enforce minimum global standards for the use of AI, and companies should at a minimum agree to abide by the same pledge made by leading AI firms to the White House, Suleyman said. "The US should mandate that any consumer of Nvidia chips signs up to at least the voluntary commitments — and more likely, more than that," Suleyman said. Mustafa Suleyman is also the chief executive of Inflection AI, a Microsoft-backed AI startup that raised $1.3 billion in June from Nvidia and other firms. In May, Inflection released an AI chatbot named Pi that uses generative AI technology to interact with users through conversations, in which people can ask questions and share interests.

☆ Google launches watermarks for AI-generated images

New York CNN —In an effort to help prevent the spread of misinformation, Google on Tuesday unveiled an invisible, permanent watermark on images that will identify them as computer-generated. The technology, called SynthID, embeds the watermark directly into images created by Imagen, one of Google’s latest text-to-image generators. In recent months, an AI-generated image of Pope Francis in a puffer jacket went viral and AI-generated images of former President Donald Trump getting arrested were widely shared before he was indicted. With the announcement of SynthID, Google joins a growing number of startups and Big Tech companies that are trying to find solutions. The tech company also announced that every AI-generated image created by Google will carry a markup in the original file to “give context” if the image is found on another website or platform.
