Google is building its own 'world modeling' AI team for games and robot training

Google DeepMind is forming a team, led by former OpenAI Sora project member Tim Brooks, to develop "world models" - AI simulations of physical environments. These models aim to create realistic scenarios for various applications, including AI training. The team is recruiting researchers to address challenges in large-scale training and data curation. This initiative is part of Google's efforts to achieve artificial general intelligence and compete with other major AI companies.
