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.

Researchers are urging developers to prioritize research into “chain-of-thought” processes, which provide a window into how AI systems make decisions.

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

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.

After the collapse of OpenAI’s $3B deal with Windsurf, Google DeepMind seizes top talent and licenses key AI coding tools, shaking up the agentic AI landscape.
