Google announced on Thursday that it will consolidate a pair of its internal teams that are focused on building artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote a blog post on the company's website that explained the decision to consolidate teams that build AI models within the Google DeepMind team, including teams from the company's Research division. Google DeepMind was created last year through the merger of the Google Brain team with DeepMind and other researchers focused on AI systems.
Pichai said that move "helped accelerate our Gemini models" and unified machine learning (ML) infrastructure and developer teams: "The progress in just one year has been incredible: Gemini models are seen as leaders and keep getting better. And our successive breakthroughs have put us on a path to deliver the world's most advanced, safe, and responsible AI."
