GOOGLE HAS A NEW TEAM TO ADVANCE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EVEN FURTHER … POSSIBLY CHANGING THE GAME IN SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY.
TIM BROOKS … WHO LEFT OPEN A-I FOR GOOGLE’S A-I RESEARCH LAB “DEEP MIND” … ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK HE’S LEADING THE INITIATIVE … POSTING TO X MONDAY…
“DEEP MIND HAS AMBITIOUS PLANS TO MAKE MASSIVE GENERATIVE MODELS THAT SIMULATE THE WORLD. I’M HIRING FOR A NEW TEAM WITH THIS MISSION.”
THE JOB LISTINGS SAY THE NEW GROUP WILL LOOK TO DEVELOP “REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE GENERATION” TOOLS ON TOP OF THE MODELS THEY BUILD. THE TEAM AIMS TO STUDY HOW TO INTEGRATE THEM WITH EXISTING MODELS LIKE “GEMINI” – GOOGLE’S A-I POWERED ASSISTANT.
ONE OF THE JOB POST DESCRIPTIONS SAYS THAT THE TEAM WILL BE ON A PATH TO “ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE” – OR A-G-I WHICH IS A-I THAT CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME TASKS AS HUMANS.
SEVERAL COMPANIES ARE ON THAT PATH … INCLUDING ELON MUSK’S TESLA.
WHILE ITS NOT DIRECTLY BUILDING A-G-I … ITS WORK ON SELF-DRIVING CARS INVOLVES THE SAME A-I TECHNOLOGIES … PUSHING TOWARDS MACHINE LEARNING.
NOT EVERYONE IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY IS ON BOARD THOUGH … A RECENT STUDY BY THE ANIMATION GUILD FOUND THAT OVER 100-THOUSAND U-S BASED FILM, TELEVISION AND ANIMATION JOBS WILL BE DISRUPTED BY A-I IN 20-26.
SOME COMPANIES ARE PLEDGING TO WORK WITH CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS … LIKE 3-D START UP ODYSSEY … THAT’S PLANNING TO HAVE CREATORS WEAR CAMERAS ENABLED WITH AN A-I SYSTEM THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO CAPTURE CINEMATIC WORLDS WITH COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE SCENERY, CHARACTERS, LIGHTING AND MOTION.
EXPERTS SAY ACHIEVING TRUE A-G-I STILL REQUIRES WORK IN SEVERAL AREAS … LIKE FULLY TRUSTING ITS JUDGEMENT OVER OUR OWN.
