Explore Google DeepMind's innovative approach to AI through world models, a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to simulate reality and advance toward artificial general intelligence.

AGI is the overarching goal, but improved chatbots, AI-generated media, and potentially robots are also a part of the equation.

Google DeepMind is assembling a new team of artificial intelligence researchers to develop “world models” that can simulate physical environments. The initiative will be led by Tim Brooks, a former co-lead for OpenAI’s Sora project who joined DeepMind in October to work on Google’s video generation and world simulators.

Jaque Silva/NurPhoto via OpenAI’s o3 focuses on high-level reasoning, using a “private chain of thought” to solve problems. This approach allows it to perform well in physics, mathematics and science-related reasoning.
