Google's DeepMind employees in the UK are actively pursuing unionization to oppose the company's decision to sell AI technology to military contractors and its collaborations with the Israeli government. Approximately 300 London-based DeepMind employees have reportedly applied to join the Communication Workers Union (CWU), hoping to leverage collective bargaining to influence the company's commercialization strategy. Google's push for DeepMind to find commercial applications for its technology has sparked...

Google DeepMind has officially released its latest music generation model, Lyria2, marking another significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence for music creation. This new model, with its high-fidelity audio generation and professional-grade sound quality, provides musicians, producers, and creators with more powerful creative tools. Lyria2: High-fidelity sound quality, capturing the subtle beauty of music. Lyria2 represents DeepMind's latest advancement in music generation technology, offering significant improvements in sound quality and creative flexibility compared to previous models.

Just weeks after OpenAI announced its adoption of a rival Anthropic standard for connecting AI models to the systems where their data resides, Google has followed suit. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis announced on X on Wednesday that Google will add support for the Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP) to its Gemini models and software development kits (SDKs).

In the fiercely competitive AI industry, Google's AI division, DeepMind, has employed extreme measures to retain top talent. According to Business Insider, some of the company's AI employees in the UK have signed 'aggressive' non-compete agreements, preventing them from working for competitors for a year after leaving. These agreements not only restrict employees' career choices but also prevent them from participating in the rapidly advancing technologies within the industry for a full year. Reports indicate these employees continue to receive salaries during this period, though the specifics are unclear.

Google DeepMind recently released a comprehensive strategic document outlining its approach to developing safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI is defined as a system capable of matching or exceeding human capabilities in most cognitive tasks. DeepMind anticipates that current machine learning approaches, particularly neural networks, will remain the primary path to achieving AGI. The report notes that future AGI systems could potentially surpass human performance and exhibit significant autonomy in planning and decision-making. This technology will have implications for healthcare...

Isomorphic Labs, a platform focused on AI-powered drug discovery, founded in 2021 as a spin-off from Google's DeepMind, has secured $600 million in Series A funding led by Thrive Capital, with participation from GV and existing investor Alphabet (Google's parent company). This funding will accelerate the further development of Isomorphic's AI drug design engine and support the company's R&D efforts.

Google recently announced the launch of its new open-source model, TxGemma, designed to significantly improve the efficiency of therapeutic drug development. Developed by the Google DeepMind team, this model is a fine-tuned version of their advanced Gemma model family, incorporating powerful natural language understanding, scientific prediction, and multi-turn dialogue capabilities. TxGemma aims to revolutionize drug discovery. Its release is considered a significant advancement in the application of AI to biomedicine, promising to drastically shorten the time it takes for drugs to move from the lab to clinical trials, while also reducing costs.

Google DeepMind has revealed its secret weapon – Gemini Robotics! This is no ordinary roomba; it's about truly infusing AI intelligence into robotic bodies, enabling robots to operate (and potentially even more cleverly) in the physical world, just like humans. The versatile Gemini Robotics is powered by the advanced Gemini 2.0 model. Gemini itself boasts the ability to process text, images, audio, and video.

At the recent 'Invest Karnataka 2025' conference held in Bangalore, numerous leaders from the technology industry gathered to discuss the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in India and its impacts.
