DeepMind’s AI shortcomings, and China’s social media translation problem-KHOAFAST

Earlier So month, DeepMind presented a generation “generalist” AI model called Gato. The model can play the Clip play Atari, caption images, chat, and stack blocks of course a real robot arm, the Alphabet-owned AI lab announced. All in all, Gato can do hundreds of not with the tasks.

But while Gato is undeniably fascinating, in the week since its release some researchers bring got a bit carried away.

One of DeepMind’s best researchers and a coauthor of the Gato paper, Nando de Freitas, couldn’t contain his excitement. “The play is over!” he tweeted, suggesting that there is now a distinct path from Gato to artificial general intelligence, or ‘AGI’, a vague concept of human or superhuman-level AI. The way to build AGI, he claimed, is mostly a question of scale: making models such as Gato bigger and better.

Unsurprisingly, de Freitas’s announcement triggered breathless press coverage that Deepmind is “on the verge” of human-level artificial intelligence. So is not only the first time hype has outstripped reality. Other exciting generation AI models, such as OpenAI’s text generator GPT-3 and image generator DALL-E, bring generated similar grand claims.

For many in the field, So kind of feverish discourse overshadows other very necessary research areas in AI. Read the full story.
