<h2 id="merging-of-google-research-8217-s-brain-team-and-deepmind">Merging of Google research&#8217;s brain team and DeepMind</h2>



<p>The newly established Google DeepMind was formed through the amalgamation of the Brain team from Google Research and London-based AI company DeepMind, which Google acquired in 2014. The primary objective of this merger is to accelerate the company&#8217;s advancements in AI development while ensuring its safety and responsibility.</p>



<p>Sundar Pichai&#8217;s <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/april-ai-update/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vision</a> for consolidating Google&#8217;s AI expertise into a single, dedicated team is to accelerate the company&#8217;s progress in the AI domain. Jeff Dean, the chief scientist for Google Research and Google DeepMind, will report directly to Pichai and has been assigned to develop a range of powerful, multi-modal AI models.</p>



<h2 id="addressing-concerns-and-fears-around-ai">Addressing concerns and fears around AI</h2>



<p>In response to concerns, such as those expressed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, regarding the potential threat of AI to civilization, Pichai emphasized the unit&#8217;s purpose: &#8220;To ensure the bold and responsible development of general AI, we&#8217;re creating a unit that will help us build more capable systems more safely and responsibly.&#8221; Although Pichai mentioned that the unit&#8217;s developments would be utilized to enhance Google products, specific details have not yet been disclosed.</p>



<p>A recent survey conducted among 11,004 U.S. citizens highlighted significant apprehensions about the potential impact of AI on the workforce. While 56% of respondents believed AI would substantially affect the U.S. economy, a mere 13% thought that &#8220;AI will help more than hurt&#8221; American workers.</p>
