#AIRevolution #GoogleInnovation #FutureIsNow #DemisHassabis In a world where AI is rapidly evolving, Google's very own #DemisHassabis is stepping up to the plate to harness this cutting-edge technology for profit. It's no small feat, but if anyone's up for the challenge, it's the team led by #Hassabis. Here's to pushing boundaries and shaping the future! What do you think are the biggest challenges and opportunities in turning AI research into real-world applications? Let's discuss!

Alphabet Inc.-owned Google announced the consolidation of its AI model-building teams, merging its Research and Google DeepMind divisions to strengthen its AI initiatives. This strategic move, detailed in a recent blog post, aims to enhance focus on safe AI development by relocating the Responsible AI teams to DeepMind. This restructuring follows scrutiny of Google's advanced AI model, Gemini, which led to a pause in its image generation features. https://lnkd.in/eMGR-XdF #Google #DeepMind #AI #TechnologyNews #CorporateStrategy

Who is Mustafa Suleyman, the new AI chief at Microsoft? Tech giant Microsoft made a big move in the artificial intelligence (AI) battle for supremacy. On Tuesday, the Satya Nadella-led company roped in Mustafa Suleyman, cofounder of Google's DeepMind and Inflection AI, to lead its consumer AI business. Reporting directly to Nadella, Suleyman will be responsible for expanding a consumer AI business. Suleyman has become one of the biggest voices in the AI industry. He cofounded DeepMind, an AI lab in 2010 with others like Shane Legg and Demis Hassabis, now the CEO. Google acquired the London-based DeepMind in 2014, driven primarily by its urge to be at the forefront of the AI revolution it saw coming. DeepMind was merged with Google Brain last year. The entity is now called Google DeepMind #news #technews #dailynews #dailynewsupdate #latestnews #ainews #microsoft

2023 was the year AI finally went mainstream. As a result, the way we interact with and use AI in our daily lives will never be the same. In 2023, Google launched Duet AI and embedded it across its stable of apps. But DuetAI was just the start. In December, Google announced Gemini. Their largest and most capable AI model, again shifting how we use AI in our daily lives.

Google’s Gemini AI models are being integrated into seven different Google-owned products with at least 2 billion users each. That ecosystem advantage might just be decisive in winning the AI wars, Matteo Wong writes in Atlantic Intelligence.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis tells Axios that Gemini 2.0 is designed to help generative AI move from answering users' questions to taking action on its own — a step toward AGI.

Ahead of tomorrow’s big I/O event, Google has been consolidating its AI efforts and power around one man: Demis Hassabis. As one of the most respected leaders in the space, the DeepMind co-founder has a track record of critical AI breakthroughs. But can an academic also pave the way for Google’s genAI commercialization and monetization? Hassabis is the key to Google’s lead in AI but his biggest challenge lies ahead. This week on TechCheck, the real test. Can Google and Hassabis show Wall Street, investors, and the public that it can turn AI into actual products? Check it out… https://lnkd.in/gBZ2v6Mp
