Research Published 28 July 2023 Authors Yevgen Chebotar, Tianhe Yu Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2) is a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions for robotic control High-capacity vision-language models (VLMs) are trained on web-scale datasets, making these systems remarkably good at recognising visual […]
How we’re applying the latest AI developments to help fight climate change and build a more sustainable, low-carbon world AI is a powerful technology that will transform our future, so how can we best apply it to help combat climate change and find sustainable solutions? Our climate & sustainability lead, Sims Witherspoon, who recently spoke
Exploring AI safety, adaptability, and efficiency for the real world Next week marks the start of the 40th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2023), taking place 23-29 July in Honolulu, Hawai’i. ICML brings together the artificial intelligence (AI) community to share new ideas, tools, and datasets, and make connections to advance the field. From
New research proposes a system to determine the relative accuracy of predictive AI in a hypothetical medical setting, and when the system should defer to a human clinician Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential to enhance how people work across a range of industries. But to integrate AI tools into the workplace in a safe
New white paper investigates models and functions of international institutions that could help manage opportunities and mitigate risks of advanced AI Growing awareness of the global impact of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) has inspired public discussions about the need for international governance structures to help manage opportunities and mitigate risks involved. Many discussions have drawn
Research Published 20 June 2023 Authors The RoboCat team New foundation agent learns to operate different robotic arms, solves tasks from as few as 100 demonstrations, and improves from self-generated data. Robots are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives, but they’re often only programmed to perform specific tasks well. While harnessing recent advances in
It’s all about using our technology and research to help enrich people’s lives. Like YouTube — and its mission to give everyone a voice and show them the world. Our work with YouTube’s product and engineering teams has helped optimize decision-making processes, increase safety and engagement, and enhance the experience for all kinds of users.
Research Published 14 June 2023 Authors Our AI research is making Google Cloud solutions faster, simpler, and more efficient Google Cloud empowers organizations to digitally transform themselves into smarter businesses. It offers cloud computing, data analytics, and the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools. Using our AI research, we’re making these solutions better
Andrew Ng has serious street cred in artificial intelligence. He pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) to train deep learning models in the late 2000s with his students at Stanford University, cofounded Google Brain in 2011, and then served for three years as chief scientist for Baidu, where he helped build the Chinese
The end of Moore’s Law is looming. Engineers and designers can do only so much to miniaturize transistors and pack as many of them as possible into chips. So they’re turning to other approaches to chip design, incorporating technologies like AI into the process. Samsung, for instance, is adding AI to its memory chips to
