DeepMind’s David Silver just raised $1.1B to build an AI that learns without human data

Harbor Capital is trying to slice the AI boom into lab-branded trades, filing for a suite of active “Lab ETFs” tied to Anthropic, DeepMind, Meta, OpenAI and xAI ecosystems. Harbor Capital has filed for five actively managed “Lab ETFs” that…

The search giant seems to be integrating new DeepMind models at all levels of the company and its products.

Google is recasting its enterprise AI roadmap around autonomous systems and AGI, with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis telling I/O attendees the industry now sits at the “foothills of the singularity.” “When we look back at this time, I think we all realise that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity,” Hassabis said in his speech at Google I/O. “It will be a profound moment for humanity.” The remarks capped a keynote spanning AI agents, cybersecurity systems, scientific research tools, coding platforms, and simulations — suggesting Google increasingly views AI not as standalone enterprise features, but as a broader operational platform capable of executing complex tasks across environments. “AGI is now on the horizon, and it will be the most profound and impactful technology ever invented,” Hassabis said. “If built right, it could propel human progress and flourishing beyond our imaginations.” While terms such as AGI and singularity have historically remained largely confined

Google used its annual I/O developer conference on Tuesday to unveil the most sweeping transformation of its product lineup in years, placing agentic artificial intelligence at the centre of everything from search and shopping to coding, smart glasses, and the physical world. The centrepiece of the event was Gemini 3.5 Flash, described by DeepMind chief […]

Google DeepMind is integrating Street View with Project Genie to create immersive, interactive world simulations for robotics, gaming, and travel, allowing users to explore environments, weather changes, and rare scenarios.

Google is making a big push into cybersecurity. At I/O, the company announced that it was inviting select groups of experts to test the API for CodeMender, an "AI agent for code security" it debuted last October. The difference is that Google is now making the tool more widely available externally - and marketing it as a way to, as Google DeepMind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu put it, "help secure the world's code bases" by both flagging and fixing vulnerabilities. Anthropic's surprise Claude Mythos Preview announcement seemed to shock the AI world - and a ton of others, like top banks and the Federal Reserve chair. So, led by Anthropic's news, a … Read the full story at The Verge.

The semiconductor giant said it will work with Ineffable Intelligence to build the model training infrastructure.
