Google DeepMind is forming a new team focused on developing 'world models' for simulating physical environments. This initiative, led by Tim Brooks, aims to enhance real-time interactive media for video games and improve training scenarios for robots. The project aligns with Google's ambition to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) ahead of its competitors.
The world models will facilitate advancements in visual reasoning, simulation, and planning for AI agents. With competitors like Nvidia and OpenAI making strides in AI, Google’s initiative is a strategic move to stay at the forefront of the industry. The new team will collaborate with existing Google AI projects, including Gemini AI models and the Veo video generator.
• Google DeepMind is developing world models for AI and robotics.
