Pathways: Google's AGI

📅 2021
public awareness
🔵 Rare
#ai

📖 Description

A month ago, Jeff Dean, lead of Google AI, [announced at TED](https://qz.com/2042493/pathways-google-is-developing-a-superintelligent-multipurpose-ai/) that Google is developing a "general purpose intelligence system". To give a bit of context, last January, Google already published a paper on a [1.6-trillion parameter model](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.03961) based on the architecture of *switch transformers*, which improves by on order of magnitude upon GPT-3. Yet, I've heard that Google usually only publishes a weaker version of the algorithms they actually develop and deploy at scale.
