Google DeepMind has launched TranslateGemma, an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model developed to simplify the language translation process. So, what should you know about it?

Google DeepMind will now use its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict the presence of tropical cyclones before they form. They are working with the US National Hurricane Centre to support forecasts and warnings for the upcoming hurricane season.

Looks like robots and AI are getting smarter. Recently, DeepMind has developed a new AI model that allowed them to fold origami and close Ziploc bags. So, what should you know about it?

Technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) is seen to have experienced rapid development in the last few years, with increasingly sophisticated capabilities. The AI work process is also faster than humans. This AI tool has proven its abilities in solving Maths Olympiad problems. So, what should you know about it?

If you've grown up playing StarCraft, you'd remember how terrible the A.I. is back in the 90's, with their units hilariously walking in a straight line and not knowing what to do after the first two waves of attack; or retreating their entire army back to their base in StarCraft II if one of their workers is harassed, despite the improved A.I.. Well, that could be all changed in the future, now that Google Deepmind has announced their collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate A.I. and Machine Learning in StarCraft II with researchers around the world.

The recent Google DeepMind Challenge concluded with AlphaGo beating Lee Sedol 4-1 in Go. Go has traditionally been too difficult for computer programs due to the immense number of variations that it has but the Artificial Intelligence managed to defeat Lee Sedol who has been acknowledged as the best Go player of the last decade. The victory will result in Google DeepMind donating the $1 million prize money to UNICEF, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) charities and Go organizations.

Yesterday, we reported that a Go-playing computer program, AlphaGo, grabbed the first win against the best Go player in the world, Lee Sedol and it was the first time that a system could do such feat in human history. Today, it got the second win again this time after 211 moves. Both players played two full hours of regulation time, going into by?-yomi overtime. And just for your information, AlphaGo actually learns from experience. 

If you've never heard of Google DeepMind, then welcome to the right place to get yourself educated. DeepMind is an artifical intelligence designed by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman in London during the year 2010, its purpose it to solve intelligence and use it to make the world a better place and was acquired by Google in 2014.

And just yesterday, during its first game at the Google DeepMind Challenge match, the system has defeated the world's best Go player, Lee Sedol after 186 moves. This is the first time in history that a computer program has bested a top-ranked human Go player on a full 19x19 board with no handicap.
