Summary

Google DeepMind, led by CEO Demis Hassabis, serves as the central AI engine for Google and Alphabet Inc., dedicated to accelerating scientific discovery through artificial intelligence. The organization deploys advanced AI models like the multimodal Gemini to billions of users and has achieved breakthroughs such as AlphaFold, which has transformed drug discovery. Recent innovations include Genie 3, an interactive world model capable of generating playable environments, advancing robotics and embodied AI. Hassabis anticipates Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) within 5-10 years, emphasizing the need for fundamental breakthroughs in areas like AI creativity and continual learning beyond mere scaling of large language models. Google DeepMind also develops creative AI tools like the VO model for video and the Nano-Banana image generator, and Hassabis is involved with Isomorphic Labs, a spinout leveraging AlphaFold for drug discovery partnerships. The company employs a strategy of hybrid models, combining probabilistic AI with deterministic physics-based models, as seen in AlphaGo and AlphaZero, and envisions AGI ushering in a new Golden Age of Science.
