Google Gemini: AlphaGo-GPT?

from AI Explained · host AI Explained

Does Gemini = AlphaGo + GPT? This video showcases everything we know so far about Gemini ['Google's GPT 5'], drawing not only on Demis Hassabis' provocative new Wired Interview, and leaks in The Information, but also deep research into recent papers and talks from those working at Google DeepMind. Let me know what you think of Gemini, both on its potential to upend the race to AGI, its effect on timelines, whether it will utilise a Tree of Thoughts approach, draw on YouTube, and its safety implications in terms of planning. I will also cover Hogarth's Foundation Model Taskforce and how it relates to DeepMind, and end with a word on employee distribution and the UK AI Summit.
