San Francisco, June 27 (Ians) DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has said that google-owned artificial intelligence (AI) company is working on a new AI system named ‘Gemini’ which will be more capable than that behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
According to Hassabis, the engineers are using techniques from the AI programme AlphaGo — which was the first to defeat a champion human player of the board game Go — to make Gemini, reports Wired.
Gemini is still in development and is a large language model (Llm) that works with text and is similar to Gpt-4, which powers ChatGPT.
“At a high level you can think of Gemini as combining some of the strengths of AlphaGo-type systems with the amazing language capabilities of the large models,” Hassabis said.
“We also have some new innovations that are going to be pretty interesting.”
This new AI system was first teased at Google’s developer conference last month,...

One more milestone in humanity's path to a robo-dominated future is passed in Greg Kohs' AlphaGo, the story of the AI program that mastered the most complicated board game ever invented. Taking pains to say the achievement it chronicles is still a long way from Skynet, the doc does persuasively convey the shock with which men and women suddenly realize they have been overtaken years before they expected to be. Involving and poignant if sometimes less informative than it might be, the doc should have appeal on cable after its short theatrical run.

You could call it the “Netflix effect.” With the rise of the global VOD giant and its increasingly voracious appetite for nonfiction films, the documentary industry is anticipating a busy spring season at the Tribeca Film Festival and Hot Docs, North America’s largest documentary festival and marketplace.
But it’s not just Netflix, say industry insiders. The number of active buyers for documentary films suggests there’s an enthusiasm for independent nonfiction cinema that goes beyond the VOD giant.
On the eve of Tribeca, three high-profile documentaries have already found buyers: National Geographic acquired the coal-mining expose “From the Ashes,” and Gravitas Ventures bought theatrical and streaming rights to two films already partnering with CNN Films: “Elian,” the story of Cuban child émigré Elian Gonzalez, and Impact Partners’ “The Reagan Show,” a freshly relevant archival-driven doc about the staging of the former President.
