Google DeepMind: Exploring Google's AI Division and Its Role in Artificial Intelligence

As well known to us lately, the major search engine giant Google is a lot more than a search engine. Till now, we have been presented with different mind-blowing technologies by Google such as Google Mail, Blogger, Google Sites, Maps, Google Drive and Google Plus (discontinued). But did you know what is Google DeepMind? Discover the dedicated division for Artificial Intelligence at Google. Explore their DeepMind and latest AI algorithms developments in this article.

Let’s start with a basic yet necessary list of three good queries we will be exploring:
 
  • What is DeepMind?
  • What do they do at Google Deep Mind division?
  • How is it useful to Google and the World?

# DeepMind

DeepMind is a dedicated division for Artificial Intelligence, that was acquired by Google in 2014 for about $500 Million and is presently owned by Google under its Parent Alphabet Inc.

DeepMind was founded by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman.

“Solve Intelligence” as they state in blue on the DeepMind website.

 

# What Do They Work On

DeepMind works on developing better AI algorithms for machine learning or automatic learning. More than a hundred researchers work in DeepMind labs to develop AI that is highly capable of multitasking as well as decision-making.

Let’s understand their goal by reading the below statement from their official website,

“We founded DeepMind to solve intelligence and use it to make the world a better place by developing technologies that help address some of society's toughest challenges.”

 
 

# Usefulness Of Google DeepMind

Google also works to implement the new DeepMind algorithms to improve its other products.

So far, as it is known to us, their technology and algorithms have been used by Google for better image recognition. Photographic suggestions while searching for people and things ‘as we type’ also used algorithms developed at DeepMind.

With the implementation of DeepMind, the photo suggestions are displayed after automatically making connections between people. That means, you may or may not have put these photos together in one place or with one tag, but their advanced algorithm decides it for itself on the go.

DeepMind had earlier developed smart AI that had learned how to play the classic Atari video games itself which reached levels human players may not match. So far, it has been successful in beating human champions in mind games.

DeepMind founder Suleyman says,

“These are systems that learn automatically. They’re not pre-programmed, they’re not handcrafted features. We try to provide a large set of raw information to our algorithms as possible so that the systems themselves can learn the very best representations to use those for action or classification or predictions.”  

So in layman's terms, we may understand that DeepMind works on developing smart AIs, self-learning, intelligent and better than ever.

 

# DeepMind Health

This is another sub-division where DeepMind aims to develop artificial intelligence to support the medical field. It works on developing scalable technologies that could be beneficial to both clinicians and their patients.

As quoted by them,

“The National Health Service is hugely important to our team. The NHS helped bring many of us into the world and has looked after our loved ones when they've most needed help. We want to see the NHS thrive.”

 And,

“It was clear to us that we should focus on healthcare because it’s an area where we believe we can make a real difference to people’s lives across the world.”

Their healthcare projects like AKI and Hark are still under development and we can expect them to be of huge help in the medical field shortly.

Follow the latest stuff going on DeepMind projects, through the official website of DeepMind. Interested developers can also also look forward to various career opportunities in Google DeepMind.

You can also look at their latest development and dwell into experimenting with their open-source projects at GitHub/DeepMind.

Red supergiant stars – Explained

Ever wondered what are Red supergiants? What gives red supergiant red color? Read it here know some facts about the massive red giant stars. Stars become red  super-giant  during their helium burning phase that takes place after the hydrogen burning phase of stars of about ten solar masses or more.  They have comparatively very cool temperatures of about 3500 to 4500 K. The red super giant stars are the largest stars in terms of physical size, and are of K -M spectral type. While these are known are the largest stars with respect to their physical size, these are not the most massive stars in the universe. They have enormous radii and a luminosity class of I. Most of the red super giants have radius of 200 to 800 times the radius of our Sun. Presently, the four largest known red super giant stars in Milky Way galaxy are: Mu Cephei KW Sagitarii V354 Cephei KY Cygni All of these four giant stars have a radius nearly 1500 times th...

Is Telegram Facing a Ban in India After CEO's Arrest and Content Moderation Failures?

Hey Hamster Kombat gamers. On August 24, 2024, Pavel Durov, the CEO and founder of Telegram, was arrested in France, causing waves of concern globally. The Telegram CEO arrest news has brought to light serious allegations against the platform, including its failure to prevent illegal activity like child exploitation, money laundering, and drug trafficking. This arrest, though it happened in Europe, has sparked intense speculation in India, where many are asking, "Is Telegram banned in India?" and "Is Telegram going to be shut down in India?" The Indian government’s increasing scrutiny has fueled news and discussions about a potential Telegram ban in India. With questions like, "Is Telegram banned in India?" gaining traction, the future of the app, which has a massive user base in the country, remains uncertain. As the Telegram ban news in India continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see how the situation with Durov and his partner, Juli Vavilov...
