Google outlines latest step towards creating artificial general intelligence
Google’s DeepMind has unveiled Genie 3, a “world model” AI that generates realistic, text-driven simulations—from ski slopes to warehouse floors—to train robots and autonomous vehicles. By letting AI agents interact with lifelike virtual environments, Google says this is a key step toward artificial general intelligence, where systems master a broad range of tasks. Genie 3’s multi-minute scenarios match the quality of Google’s Veo 3 video model but aren’t yet publicly released. DeepMind sees world models as crucial for smarter robots and advancing AI beyond language alone.
