Google DeepMind Forms 'World Modeling' AI Team to Push for AGI
2025-01-07
Google DeepMind is assembling a new AI research team focused on developing "world models" capable of simulating physical environments. Led by former OpenAI Sora co-lead Tim Brooks, the team aims to leverage massive pre-training on video and multimodal data to advance AGI development. This initiative will power applications in gaming, robot training, and beyond, including visual reasoning and simulation, planning for embodied agents, and real-time interactive entertainment. This signifies Google's intensified push in the AGI race, competing with rivals like OpenAI.
