DeepMind researcher claims new ‘Gato’ AI could lead to AGI, says ‘the game is over!’ Scaling Uber Alles How did we get here? DeepMind recently released a research paper andpublished a blog poston its new multi-modal AI system. Dubbed ‘Gato,’ the system is capable of performing hundreds of different tasks ranging from controlling a robot arm to writing poetry. The company’s dubbed it a “generalist” system, but hadn’t gone so far as to say it was in any way capable of general intelligence — you can learn more about what that meanshere....

DeepMind’s AlphaCode is a tool — not a replacement — for human programmers Unlike devs, it’s good at just one thing Coding contests AlphaCodeis not the only game in town, but it accomplishes a very complicated task. Other similar systems focus on generating short code snippets, such as a function or a block of code that performs a small task (e.g., set up a web server, pull information from an API system)....
