Google is integrating teams focused on building artificial intelligence (AI) models. Google Research and Google Deep Mind.
All of this work will now be done within Google DeepMind. Sundar Pichaisaid the CEOs of Google and Alphabet in an article. Memo to employee It was posted on the company’s website on Thursday (April 18).
Pichai said in the memo that the move “expands our ability to deliver powerful AI to our users, partners, and customers.”
This simplifies development by centralizing compute-intensive model building in one place and establishes a single point of access for users looking to leverage these models to build generative AI applications. and gives Google Research a “clear and unambiguous” mandate to invest in three key areas. According to the memo, these include computing systems, basic machine learning and algorithms, and applied science and society.
The move comes a year after the company brought together Google Brain, DeepMind, and other researchers focused on AI systems to form Google DeepMind, according to the memo.This group is the company’s gemini model.
The letter also announced changes to the way Google’s Responsible AI team works.
Members of the research department will move to DeepMind, other responsibility teams will move to the central Trust and Safety team, and the company is increasing investment in vulnerability testing for its AI-powered capabilities, the memo said. There is.
“These changes continue the work we have done over the past year to simplify structure and improve speed and execution. For example, we have integrated Google Research’s Brain team with DeepMind’s team to accelerate Gemini models. It helped us integrate our ML infrastructure and our team of ML developers for faster decision-making, smarter compute allocation, and better customer experiences. to the leader,” Pichai said in the memo.
On Tuesday (April 16), Google Spending on AI It will exceed $100 billion.
When asked at a conference about reports that Google’s rivals Microsoft and OpenAI plan to spend $100 billion on an AI supercomputer known as “Stargate,” DeepMind’s CEO said: Demis Hassabis “I won’t talk about specific numbers, but I think we’re investing more than that in the long run,” he said.
