identityGoogle DeepMind brings together two of the world’s leading AI labs — Google Brain and DeepMind — into a single, focused team led by our CEO Demis Hassabis. Over the last decade, the two teams were responsible for some of the biggest research breakthroughs in AI, many of which underpin the flourishing AI industry we see today.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityAfter the success of AlphaGo, the DeepMind team sought out increasingly complex games that capture different elements of intelligence. In 2019 we demonstrated AlphaStar, the first AI system to defeat a top professional player at StarCraft II, considered to be one of the most challenging Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games and one of the longest-played e-sports of all time.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityThe team also invented WaveNet, a realistic text-to-speech model that was used as the voice of the Google Assistant and introduced a lot of the technology used in Generative AI systems today.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityToday, Google’s infrastructure runs on Google Brain’s research breakthroughs, including open source software like JAX and TensorFlow, sequence-to-sequence learning for machine translation, and complex machine learning systems to rank search results, and serve and organize online ads.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityIn 2017, Brain invented the Transformer architecture, an elegant system of neural networks that underpin almost all large language models and revolutionized the field of AI. Over the years, Brain has continued to push what is possible with Transformers, from open-sourcing as BERT to improving Google Searches. Models like LaMDA showed the potential for these types of AI systems to be even more conversational, while the PaLM family of models showed how broadly capable these models can be. They have also ushered in a new era of consumer AI systems, including Google’s collaborative experiment Bard.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityThe team has also advanced the state-of-the-art in robotics by using a large language model in a robotics system with PaLM-SayCan, and the creation of a more generalized visual-language-action model with RT-2. Brain also pioneered the use of machine learning in the creative process with Magenta and text-to-image generation models like Imagen. The team’s work on the Universal Speech Model enables better understanding of more spoken languages around the world, while initiatives like Project Euphonia improve communication for people with speech impairments.https://deepmind.google/about/
identityNow, as Google DeepMind, our world-class talent is harnessing our unparalleled computing infrastructure to create the next wave of research breakthroughs and transformative products. Guided by the scientific method and with a holistic approach to responsibility and safety, we’re working to ensure AI benefits everyone and helps solve the biggest challenges facing humanity.https://deepmind.google/about/
