Summary

  • Search engine giant Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) unit DeepMind has created a new model called Gemini Robotics, which it says can control a range of robots to perform different tasks.
  • DeepMind demonstrated over a series of video calls how the robots could fold paper, pick up vegetables and gently put glasses away.
  • The robots are also able to learn and complete tasks in hundreds of scenarios not included in their original training.
  • However, experts have raised concerns that putting AI models in charge of physical robots could potentially be dangerous.
  • To mitigate this risk, the company has also announced a new benchmark for gauging the risks of AI-powered robots, called ASIMOV.
