DeepMind reveals Genie 3, a world model that could be the key to reaching AGI
Google DeepMind has revealed Genie 3, its latest foundation world model that the AI lab says presents a crucial stepping stone on the path to artificial general intelligence, or human-like intelligence.
Fruchter said that while Genie 3 clearly has implications for educational experiences and new generative media like gaming or prototyping creative concepts, its real unlock will manifest in training agents for general purpose tasks, which he said is essential to reaching AGI. Still, Genie 3 presents a compelling step forward in teaching agents to go beyond reacting to inputs so they can plan, explore, seek out uncertainty, and improve through trial and error – the kind of self-driven, embodied learning that’s key in moving towards general intelligence.
