We're sharing a new addition to the Gemma family of open models: Gemma 3 270M. 🛠️ It’s tiny yet mighty AI - making it ideal for task-specific fine-tuning, with powerful instruction following built-in. Here’s how you can build with it → goo.gle/4luSdHd

🚨 New research from Google Research and Google DeepMind: Towards physician-centered oversight of conversational diagnostic AI. Conversational AI holds promise for improving diagnostic workflows, but safe, real-world use must ensure that licensed physicians stay accountable for clinical decisions. In this new publication, Google introduces a framework for asynchronous physician oversight of AMIE. Guardrailed-AMIE, or g-AMIE, performs history taking but abstains from offering medical advice and conveys assessments for review through a “clinician cockpit” to an overseeing primary care physician, who maintains full oversight and accountability. In a randomized, blinded virtual OSCE study across 60 cases, primary care physicians (PCPs) overseeing g-AMIE produced higher-quality composite decisions than nurse practitioners, physician assistants, or even other, less experienced PCPs, working under the same constraints.

On the road to AGI, Demis Hassabis believes breakthroughs like Genie 3, which can generate playable worlds, could help us better understand reality itself. 🌐↓

Genie 3 offers a glimpse into an exciting new way for people to interact with and learn in simulated worlds. 🌐🕹️ Imagine seeing life through the eyes of a dinosaur 🦖 exploring the streets of ancient Greece 🏛 or learning about how search and rescue efforts are planned. 🚁 Find out more about our latest breakthrough → https://lnkd.in/eAXfBbSV

🦜“Where does this endangered bird live?” 🦭“How many seals are being born?” 🐠 “Have salmon numbers declined?” Our updated AI model Perch can help biologists find answers to these questions faster, while looking at more environments and animal populations than ever before. Perch can analyze millions of hours of audio data from our planet, and then help identify species and numbers. This saves conservationists significant time, so they can focus on their work protecting endangered animals and ecosystems – instead of processing data. In order to help conservation efforts, we're releasing this new version of Perch as an open model and making it available on @Kaggle. Find out more → https://goo.gle/3JoSCgQ

As students head back to school, Google is supporting education in a huge way! Our global Back-to-School initiative includes: • Offering a free, 1-year Google AI Pro plan for students in the US, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Brazil • Rolling out new features in the Gemini App to help students study more effectively, including: flash cards, study guides, interactive quizzes, writing help, visual learning (inclusion of images and videos), and Guided Learning which offers step-by-step explanations & personalized feedback • Investing $1B in US Education, as well as committing to train students in essential AI skills Really proud of this significant investment in next-generation learning & learners around the world.

As AI agents begin to take action in the real world, it's critical we develop new ethical frameworks to ensure they're aligned with broad principles – like our well-being and societal norms. We're exploring these challenges and next steps in our new comment published in Nature Magazine → https://goo.gle/3UfGdhC

We're unveiling Genie 3: a groundbreaking world model that can generate many interactive environments from any text prompt. 🌐 What sets it apart? 🔘 It can generate dynamic worlds at 720p and 24 FPS, playable in real-time 🔘 Environments remain physically consistent for interactions lasting up to a minute 🔘 Users can add prompts to alter the world - like changing the weather or introducing characters World models are a key stepping stone on the path to AGI, promising unlimited rich simulations for training AI agents. Genie 3 represents a significant leap forward in making this a reality. We’re providing early access to a small cohort of academics and creators, while exploring how we can make it available to more trusted testers in the future. → https://lnkd.in/eAXfBbSV
