Chain-of-thought monitorability could improve generative AI safety by assessing how models come to their conclusions and spotting the "intent to misbehave.”

CASP, the protein structure prediction contest that launched DeepMind’s Alphafold to international fame and a Nobel Prize, has secured temporary funding to continue operations. The organization’s current funding — from the National Institutes of Health — is set to run out in early August.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis heads Gemini and the company's AI push while gaining more power. Here's how he became Silicon Valley's AI kingmaker.

The IMO 2025 is regarded as one of the toughest competitions for high schoolers worldwide to prove their mettle with numbers and equations. The gold medal scoring by the AI models marks a significant breakthrough for the AI technology, and a marker of how it’s redefining its limits daily.

The authors express their deepest appreciation to the Google DeepMind Robotics team and in particular David B. D’Ambrosio, Saminda Abeyruwan, Laura Graesser, Atil Iscen, Alex Bewley and Krista Reymann for their invaluable contributions to the development and refinement of this work.

Varun Mohan, Windsurf co-founder, faced criticism for joining Google DeepMind. This happened after a $3 billion OpenAI acquisition fell through. The m

DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis, is reportedly set for a larger role within Google, potentially leading the company's AI efforts.

The researchers argue that CoT monitoring can help researchers detect when models begin to exploit flaws in their training, manipulate data, or fall victim to malicious user manipulation. Any issues that are found can then either be “blocked, or replaced with safer actions, or reviewed in more depth.”
