At its yearly developers’ gathering in Mountain View, California (as reported by Android Central), Google unveiled a variety of updates, such as the introduction of novel goods and enhanced AI functionalities for their Gemini product line.

Among the novel functions and enhancements, one standout is “Deep Think” integrated into Google’s Gemini Pro model. This feature empowers the AI to delve deeper when confronted with intricate inquiries. In essence, it enables the AI to dissect complex problems more thoroughly, thereby facilitating a critical analysis that mirrors human thought processes to a significant extent.
Google recently introduced “Mariner”, an AI assistant designed to work within the Chrome browser, capable of searching the web and managing straightforward tasks such as online shopping upon command. At present, it’s still in a research phase and can be accessed under Google’s latest subscription service called Google AI Ultra, priced at $250 per month (as reported by Android Central).
Currently, Gemini models come equipped with enhanced decision-making and understanding abilities, which are crucial for creating advanced AI helpers and robotics that resemble humans. This improvement could pave the way for AI to surpass current human intelligence levels, potentially in the near future.
At Google’s developer event, an executive demonstrated cutting-edge AI abilities of the future generation, giving a glimpse into Google’s aspirations for advanced generative AI that extends far beyond mere chatbots. In conversations with WIRED, Hassabis hinted at this.
“The way we’ve ended up working with today’s chatbots is, I think, a transitory period.”
Over the last several months, questions have arisen concerning the timeframe for the realization of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has expressed confidence that his team possesses the knowledge needed to create AGI, as OpenAI has recently begun concentrating on superintelligence.
According to Altman, it’s predicted that the significant benchmark will be reached within the next five years. Yet, the executive also suggested that this milestone might pass us by with a relatively minimal effect on society.
Though the attainment of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is uncertain, given the varying interpretations, DeepMind’s CEO maintains that it is a future goal. However, Hassabis cautions that it won’t happen imminently or within the next year.
Demis Hassabis suggested that we could develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) within the coming ten years. Yet, he emphasized that our society might not be prepared to manage its implications, a concern that often keeps him up at night.
