Google DeepMind has launched Project Genie, an experimental AI tool that lets users create interactive game worlds from text prompts or images. The service is now available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States. Designed as a research prototype, Project Genie combines DeepMind's latest world model with image‑generation technology to produce explorable environments. The rollout aims to collect user feedback and training data as DeepMind advances its world‑model research, a key step toward more capable artificial intelligence. Early users report both impressive creations and notable limitations, especially around realism and navigation. Leer más →

Google has accelerated its Gemini AI rollout with the release of Gemini 3 Pro, a model that delivers richer visual outputs, higher factual accuracy, and stronger reasoning across text, images, and video. The company also introduced Antigravity, an AI‑first integrated development environment designed to boost coding productivity. Gemini 3 sets new performance records on several benchmarks, including SimpleQA Verified, Humanity’s Last Exam, MathArena Apex, and SWE‑bench Verified, underscoring Google’s push toward artificial general intelligence. The combined launch signals a major step forward for Google’s AI ecosystem, spanning search, email, and developer tools. Leer más →

OpenAI announced that its latest model update improves ChatGPT's handling of em dashes, a change praised by CEO Sam Altman. The adjustment, achieved through reinforcement learning and fine‑tuning, gives custom instructions greater weight in the model's output probabilities. While the fix marks a notable step in steering model behavior, developers caution that future updates could unintentionally revert such tweaks, a phenomenon known as the “alignment tax.” The episode revives broader discussions about AI alignment and the path toward artificial general intelligence.

DeepMind introduced SIMA 2, the next generation of its general‑purpose AI agent that combines the language and reasoning capabilities of the Gemini model with embodied skills learned from video‑game data. The new system can understand complex instructions, reason internally, and improve itself through self‑generated experiences, effectively doubling the performance of its predecessor, SIMA 1. Demonstrations showed SIMA 2 navigating photorealistic virtual worlds, interpreting emojis, and explaining its thought process, signaling a step toward more capable robots and broader artificial general intelligence research.

DeepMind has introduced SIMA 2, an advanced AI agent that expands on its earlier SIMA system by incorporating Google’s Gemini model. The new agent can interpret high‑level user goals, perform complex reasoning, and execute actions across a variety of video games, including titles it has never encountered. Released as a limited research preview for academics and developers, SIMA 2 is positioned as a training ground for real‑world applications rather than a consumer gaming tool. DeepMind officials describe the development as a significant step toward artificial general intelligence, with potential implications for robotics and AI embodiment. Leer más →

OpenAI introduced a new benchmark called GDPval that pits its AI models against human experts across dozens of occupations. In the initial rollout, GPT-5‑high was judged better than or on par with professionals in about 40.6% of tasks, while Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.1 achieved roughly a 49% win rate. The test covered 44 roles spanning key sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. OpenAI says the results show AI can start offloading routine work for many jobs, though it acknowledges the current scope is limited and plans to expand the benchmark’s coverage. Leer más →

Elon Musk recently posted on X that he now believes xAI's upcoming model Grok 5 has a chance of achieving artificial general intelligence, possibly as soon as its planned release later this year. The claim revives longstanding debates about the promises and perils of AGI, a system that could match human flexibility across many tasks. While Musk has previously called for a moratorium on advanced AI experiments, experts like Geoffrey Hinton warn of existential threats, and researchers such as Himanshu Tyagi caution that true scientific breakthroughs remain distant. The announcement underscores tensions between rapid AI advancement, safety concerns, and the concentration of power within single companies. Leer más →

OpenAI has been described as the leading force of an emerging AI empire that emphasizes rapid development and market dominance over efficiency, safety, and broader societal benefits. Journalists note that the company’s push for artificial general intelligence (AGI) has driven massive spending, extensive data scraping, and a race‑for‑speed mindset that shapes the entire industry. Critics argue this approach amplifies harms such as job displacement, concentration of wealth, and content‑moderation challenges, while questioning whether the promised benefits to humanity will ever materialize.

Google DeepMind has introduced Genie 3, a foundation world model that can train general-purpose AI agents, marking a crucial step toward artificial general intelligence. Genie 3 can generate interactive 3D environments and features promptable world events, allowing for physically consistent simulations over time. Leer más →

The definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a topic of debate, with no clear consensus among experts. Depending on the definition, AGI may already exist or be physically impossible to achieve. Researchers have attempted to create objective benchmarks to measure progress toward AGI, but these efforts have been met with challenges. Leer más →
