Link: Google is building its own ‘world modeling’ AI team for games and robot training

Google DeepMind is creating a team to develop AI "world models," led by Tim Brooks, a new addition from OpenAI. These models aim to simulate physical environments and could shape the future of interactive media and AI training.

The initiative marks a step towards achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a major goal for Google.

Brooks highlighted the goal to build comprehensive models that could revolutionize various domains, from visual reasoning to interactive entertainment.

Job postings reveal DeepMind's focus on enhancing these models with massive scale training and multimodal integration.

"We believe scaling pretraining on video and multimodal data is on the critical path to AGI," the job descriptions stated, underlining the importance of this advancement.

Competition in the field is intense, with OpenAI and Nvidia also pushing boundaries in AI development.

DeepMind's work integrates with Google's other AI projects like the Gemini AI models and the Genie world simulator. #
