Capabilities Of Lumiere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as a research paper, the company also released a trailer video showcasing some of the capabilities of the new model. The AI is capable of generating \u201crealistic, diverse and coherent motion\u201d from texts such as \u201ca dog driving a car wearing funny glasses\u201d. Additionally, Lumiere can also make videos from existing photos, using texts as guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google also demonstrates the AI\u2019s ability for stylized generation, where it uses any photo as a reference and creates a video in the same art style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the research paper<\/a>, Google claims its model is superior to existing video generation models as it uses \u201cSpace-Time U-Net architecture that generates the entire temporal duration of the video at once\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI.

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta also indicates that they will continue to improve these chips, stating, \u201cWe currently have several programs underway aimed at expanding the scope of MTIA, including support for GenAI workloads\u201d. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Meta Announces \u201cNext Generation\u201d AI Chip A Day After Intel And Google","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meta-announces-next-generation-ai-chip-a-day-after-intel-and-google","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/introducing-our-next-generation-infrastructure-for-ai\/","post_modified":"2024-04-17 04:37:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-16 18:37:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16423","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16038,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-03-28 23:20:07","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:07","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America.

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA Gaming Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"The current version of SIMA is evaluated across 600 basic skills, spanning navigation (e.g. \"turn left\"), object interaction (\"climb the ladder\"), and menu use (\"open the map\"). We\u2019ve trained SIMA to perform simple tasks that can be completed within about 10 seconds\" <\/em>DeepMind mentioned in their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has evaluated SIMA's ability to perform almost 1500 in-game tasks. SIMA consists of a learning system with pre-trained vision models and a memory that supports keyboard and mouse outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMA is confidently progressing towards mastering game playing and adapting to new ones, although the prospect of it eventually learning to talk, like AI NPCs, remains a possibility.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's Latest AI Can Play Video Games With You While Following Your Commands","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-latest-ai-can-play-video-games-with-you-while-following-your-commands","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-16 05:54:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15899","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15647,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-02-29 22:32:26","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-29 11:32:26","post_content":"\n

American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue using our research capabilities and technology to further increase our coverage, as well as forecast other types of flood-related events and disasters, including flash floods and urban floods\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, Google stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2024, Google\u2019s hydrologic model covers 80 regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and both South and Central America. The relevant data are available on the Flood Hub platform.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google To Use AI In Forecasting Floods Worldwide","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-to-use-ai-in-forecasting-floods-worldwide","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-28 23:20:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-28 12:20:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16038","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15993,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-24 13:27:02","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:02","post_content":"\n

French authorities have fined Google $270M(About 250M Euro) for breaking its commitment to paying media outlets to use their data in search results and references. A report also mentioned that Google used publishers' data to train Gemini without informing the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google was the only platform to sign licensing agreements with 280 French press publishers and almost 450 publications under the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)<\/a> paying them tens of millions of euros yearly to cover the copyrights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google France Blog mentioned \"We have compromised because it is time to turn the page and, as our numerous agreements with publishers prove, we want to focus on sustainable approaches to connect Internet users with quality content and work constructively with publishers.\u00a0\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Competition Authority fined Google because it didn't follow four of the seven obligatory commitments under the decision 22-D -13 of June 21, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France. Google agreed to pay French Media for using their articles or news in searches. In 2022, a new commitment was made by Google, which says that Google should offer news publishers a transparent offer of payment within three months of receiving a copyright claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google didn't regard the commitments and used publishers' data to train its AI chatbot Bard, currently known as Gemini. So Google failed to provide a proper solution for publishers, allowing them to object to using their content by Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Google proposed effective measures<\/a> in response to identified failings to solve this dispute which has gone too far.<\/p>\n","post_title":"French Regulators Fined Google $270M For Using News Publishers' Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"french-regulators-fined-google-270m-for-using-news-publishers-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-24 13:27:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-24 02:27:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=15993","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15899,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2024-03-16 05:54:52","post_date_gmt":"2024-03-15 18:54:52","post_content":"\n

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighboring Rights And Commitments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 the EU introduced \"Neighboring Rights\" which made print media capable of demanding compensation for using their content and this was in trial phases in France.

On March 13, Google De<\/a>e<\/a>pMind<\/a> announced the latest AI agent \"SIMA\" (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) which can actively play games with you while following your commands. SIMA has been trained with a range of gaming skills to play more like a human than some typical AI. It can easily follow natural language instructions and perform tasks you assign across different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first research of its kind, as Google DeepMind claims.\" This research marks the first time an agent has demonstrated it can understand a broad range of gaming worlds, and follow natural-language instructions to carry out tasks within them, as a human might\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google collaborated with 8 game developers who plugged SIMA into games like No Man\u2019s Sky, Teardown, Valheim,\u00a0and\u00a0Goat Simulator 3\u00a0to train this AI agent and then test its capability. Google DeepMind mentioned that SIMA is not like other AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although trained on large datasets, these models still require human assistance. While SIMA is trained to operate on its own without any particular human assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    American tech giant Google has stepped forward with its initiative to utilize AI in forecasting floods on a global scale. The company published a research paper in the scientific journal Nature, highlighting AI's potential in saving lives and limiting damages in flood-affected areas. The AI models have been developed by the team at Google Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the paper, using AI-based hydrologic technologies can drastically improve flood forecasting even in areas where there is limited flood-related data. \u201cWe found that AI helped us to provide more accurate information on riverine floods up to 7 days in advance. This allowed us to provide flood forecasting in 80 countries in areas where 460 million people live\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the paper claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    AI-based Hydrologic Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The hydrologic model has been trained using publicly available data such as soil attributes, streamflow gauges, and weather forecasts. It uses two Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks - a hindcast unit and a forecast unit. The hindcast unit analyzes geophysical data from over a year in the past and sends it to the forecast unit. The forecast LSTM then combines this data with the weather forecast for the next seven days to make highly accurate streamflow predictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
