Four of Google's Most Celebrated AI Scientists Are Leaving to Build a Machine That Does Science Itself
Jeff Dean, the engineer behind Google's search infrastructure and its Gemini AI model, is co-founding Discovery Loop, a startup whose goal is to run thousands of automated experiments and out-invent the world's largest research labs.
Google's July drop: a new robotics brain, three faster Gemini models, and an AI code optimiser
Gemini Robotics ER 2 gives machines a physical-world brain, while three new Flash models chase cheaper, quicker AI agents and AlphaEvolve opens to all Cloud customers.
This London startup wants factory workers to train robots the same way they would train a new hire
Reimagine Robotics says its system cuts the time to teach a robot a new task from a full day down to ten minutes, and it needs no specialist programmers to do it.
Google DeepMind's New Robot AI Can Now Control a Full Body, From Feet to Fingertips
Gemini Robotics 2 gives humanoid robots whole-body movement and five-fingered hand control. Here is what the upgrade actually means, and how close these machines are to working alongside people.
Google's new robot brain can watch, plan, and tag-team with other robots
Gemini Robotics ER 2 gives machines a smarter high-level thinker that tracks progress on video and hands the actual moves off to a lower-level controller.
Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 teaches robots to walk, tie knots, and work in pairs
The new model controls humanoids from feet to fingertips, adapts to fresh robot bodies in hours, and lets machines team up on longer jobs.
Google DeepMind's Lyria 3.5 lands in Flow Music, promising better vocals and lyrics
The new model targets richer melodies, cleaner pronunciation, and more control over tempo and track length.
Google's Gemini Managed Agents Get a Quieter Upgrade: Faster Default Model, Guardrails, and a Free Tier
Gemini 3.6 Flash is now the default for managed agents, and new environment hooks let developers block or audit what the AI does inside its sandbox.
Scientists used an AI protein tool to make gene editing safer
Researchers adapted AlphaFold, the AI software famous for predicting protein shapes, to pinpoint and fix the parts of gene-editing proteins most likely to cut the wrong stretch of DNA.
Google is putting $40 million of AI credits into America's national science labs
The Genesis Mission gets access to AlphaFold 3, AlphaEvolve and Gemini for Government, and one lab has already cut a 90-minute task down to 13 minutes.
Google's new Gemini Flash models are built for AI that runs itself
Google DeepMind's 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite promise cheaper, faster AI agents. Here is what that means for the apps and games you actually use.
Tech Workers Are Turning to Unions, and AI Is the Reason
From Google DeepMind to Meta, software engineers who once had every perk imaginable are now seeking collective bargaining rights. The trigger? AI is changing their jobs faster than their contracts can keep up.
The Philosopher Inside Google DeepMind Who Asks: What Is AI, Really?
Iason Gabriel has spent seven years at Google thinking through what artificial intelligence actually is and what it might do to society. As business pressure mounts, his job is getting harder.
Google DeepMind's Boss Wants a U.S. Government-Backed Body to Vet AI Before It Ships
Demis Hassabis, the Nobel Prize-winning head of Google's AI lab, is calling for a new watchdog modelled on a Wall Street regulator. Industry would foot the bill, but Washington would set the rules.
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs open their bioresilience playbook
The two AI labs say they will share models with vetted partners to speed vaccine design and catch outbreaks earlier, while adding safeguards against misuse.
