Google Forms Team for AI World Simulation - Google is forming a new team in DeepMind, led by ex-OpenAI co-lead Tim Brooks, to create AI models simulating the physical world. The team plans to use Google's Gemini, Veo, and Genie models to address complex challenges and enhance AI training to reach artificial general intelligence.
The initiative emphasizes real-time interactive generation and the application of world models in diverse fields. However, as industry interest rises, there are ongoing concerns about job disruptions and copyright issues stemming from using video game clips to train these models.
