Microsoft’s artificial intelligence group has been growing under Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of the DeepMind research lab Google acquired years ago.

Microsoft has hired more than 20 artificial intelligence pros from Google’s DeepMind unit in the past six months, intensifying Silicon Valley’s escalating

Late last year, Dominic King and Christopher Kelly were poached by Suleyman from DeepMind to run a new AI health unit that has already developed an AI medical system that it says is four times more successful than human doctors at diagnosing complex ailments.

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

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

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.

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
