DeepMind’s CEO Says AI Can Outperform Doctors — But Nurses? Not a Chance
Economic Times
·
3d ago
Medial
DeepMind’s CEO highlights that AI can significantly mimic and even surpass certain doctor tasks, like data analysis and diagnostics, due to its efficiency and continuous learning capability. However, AI cannot replace nurses because nursing involves affective labor and interpersonal skills, like providing emotional support, understanding patients' subtle cues, and establishing trust. The human touch is irreplaceable in healthcare, making nurses essential despite advances in AI technology.

DeepMind has developed AlphaGeometry, an AI system that can solve complex geometry problems as effectively as an International Mathematical Olympiad gold medalist. The system, which combines a neural language model with a symbolic deduction engine, outperformed the previous state-of-the-art system by solving 25 Olympiad geometry problems within the standard time limit. DeepMind created synthetic data by generating 100 million "synthetic theorems" and proofs to train AlphaGeometry from scratch. The results suggest that a hybrid approach combining symbol manipulation and neural networks could be an effective strategy for future general-purpose AI systems.

Google DeepMind has developed an AI program called SIMA (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) that can learn how to complete tasks in various video games, including Goat Simulator 3. SIMA can adapt what it learns from playing other games to reliably perform tasks in new games. This advancement in AI could lead to more powerful capabilities and the ability for AI systems to take control of computers and perform complex commands. The program was trained using data from human players and can perform over 600 actions in response to commands. However, it is still a research project and needs further development to become more reliable.

Google DeepMind has developed an AI-powered robotic table tennis player that can compete at an amateur human level. The system combines the ABB IRB 1100 industrial robot arm with custom AI software. While a human expert can defeat the bot, it demonstrates the potential for machines to master physical tasks that require split-second decision-making. The AI agent showed solid amateur-level play, winning 45% of its matches against varying skill levels. The system's architecture combines low-level skill controllers with a high-level decision-maker to adapt to opponents. The researchers believe the techniques developed can be applied to various tasks requiring quick reactions and adaptation to unpredictable human behavior.

Google's DeepMind AI unit has developed GraphCast, an experimental software that accurately predicted Hurricane Lee's landfall in Nova Scotia, far from major population centers. The AI-powered weather model outperformed forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) across 90% of atmospheric variables. DeepMind's model can be run on a laptop and generate a forecast in under a minute, while traditional models require a supercomputer. The AI weather model shows promise for more accurate and efficient predictions.

AI chip company Groq is making waves in the AI world with its Lightning Processing Units (LPUs), which claim to offer faster performance than Nvidia's GPUs. The company's LPUs have been found to significantly outperform Microsoft's AI model, producing 13 times the number of tokens per second. While Groq's LPUs do not replace chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini, they help these models run at lightning-fast speeds, addressing one of their current limitations. Groq's CEO Jonathon Ross, a former co-founder of Google's AI chip division, sees the potential for real-time, multi-modal conversations with the increased speed provided by LPUs. However, it remains to be seen if Groq's chips can match the scalability of competitors like Nvidia and Google.
