Thank you for the invitation to give a talk on AI and creativity!
Recordings from the workshop on 'Synergising the Human Brain and Artificial Neural Networks' at
Uni of Birmingham, organised by
Ole Jensen @olejensen.bsky.social and Jianbo Jiao from the CHB available at:

I was honored to be interviewed by Grace Lordan Director of The Inclusion Initiative (TII) for her #WorkForcePod #FutureOfWork podcast on 'Is technology stealing your job?', on AI ethics, highlighting AI as a mediocre (by itself) but highly useful tool for human creativity.

Excited to perform and present our LLM for improvised theatre work with Boyd Branch, Kory Mathewson, Thomas Winters and Improbotics cast, this week at ZHdK! Thanks to Gunter Lösel and Manuel Hendry for organising this workshop, allowing to connect with other pioneers in the field!

We do #science #comedy and we mean it!
Come see #AI #improv with cute robots and hilarious humans, live at Komedia Brighton Brighton Fringe on Sun 26 & Mon 27 May 6pm.

And read our research paper at ICCC'24 (link in thread)!

With its advanced reasoning capabilities, our prototype agent Project Astra was able to identify a number of famous faces in science - from just a few drawings. ✏️

Most excited to share this project with the world.

It's amazing to see the magic made when the most capable generative AI systems connect with the most creative folks on the planet.

Happy to share that Google DeepMind will be open sourcing our scalable and quality preserving text watermarking method (SynthID_Text) to enable developers to responsibly deploy text generation AI systems.

We love the excitement & results from the community on AlphaFold 3 and are doubling the AF Server daily job limit to 20. Happy to also share that we're working on releasing the AF3 model (incl weights) for academic use, which doesn’t depend on our research infra, within 6 months.

🌍 GenCast update! 🌍 New highlights include 0.25° resolution, predicting extreme weather, cyclones, and wind power production. Across all our evaluations, GenCast is better than the world’s top operational medium-range weather forecast

Happy to announce #AlphaFold 3 from Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs. Our new AlphaFold Server illuminates the molecular universe in cells (from proteins to RNA, DNA, ligands and beyond) transforming our understanding of biology.

🟦 EXPANDED is delighted to present MUTATOR INFINITY, William Latham’s first solo exhibition in Berlin, at the gallery.

On view will be generative art from two key periods: from 1987 to 1993, when Latham gained a world-wide reputation for his pioneering evolutionary art, and

1. What are the ethical and societal implications of advanced AI assistants? What might change in a world with more agentic AI?

Our new paper explores these questions:

It’s the result of a one year research collaboration involving 50+ researchers… a🧵

I am extremely excited to share this piece of work, aiming to open the conversation on key topics in AI ethics of advanced AI systems.

This was a huge effort by a large number of people, bringing together diverse insights and perspectives.

Listen up!📣Epic research effort by Iason Gabriel Arianna Manzini Geoff Keeling and 50+ others researchers at DeepMind & beyond is finally releasing its findings on the Ethics of Advanced AI Assistants.👏

Pick your chapter and dig in.

Was a pleasure to write on *evaluation*.

Soccer players have to master a range of dynamic skills, from turning and kicking to chasing a ball. How could robots do the same? ⚽

We trained our AI agents to demonstrate a range of agile behaviors using reinforcement learning.

Here’s how. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3vUlgjC

I’m really excited about the launch of AfriClimate AI 🚀. Africa’s climate problems are specific, urgent and ready to be addressed by groups of committed Africans. I remember an idea at the last Indaba, now it has an excellent group having fun and creating change 🌍

✨🌍 Exciting news from the Heart of Africa! Introducing AfriClimate AI: blending AI with Climate Science for a sustainable, prosperous, and resilient Africa. 🌱 Join us in this journey to shape a climate-resilient Africa. Learn more: africlimate.ai/about/why-afri… #AfriClimateAI
