With Google’s latest AI model, Gemini 2.0, launched in December, the company is making big moves in AI. Brin’s message is clear, the race to AGI is on, and Google plans to win it.

He emphasized that enhancing intelligence models is key to Alibaba’s long-term vision as it shifts towards AI technologies.

This aligns with Alibaba’s declaration as an AI-driven company.

While e-commerce remains central, Alibaba’s cloud services saw strong growth, with revenue rising 13% last quarter. AI-related products within the cloud division posted triple-digit growth.

Everyone is talking about AI. Do you think it will surpass human intelligence? And what consequences will this have?

We need to focus primarily on how artificial intelligence will transform the workforce and job market. For instance, AI will be a key component of humanoid robots’ brains. Tesla is already producing them, and I believe that within the next 5 years, every automotive company is likely to produce their own version. This makes sense because automotive companies already have the assembly lines and engineering expertise to produce all the small components needed to build them. We’re already amazed by what AI can do today—imagine what it will do in 5 or 10 years, and then think about what it could do when integrated into a humanoid robot. It’s already confirmed through commercial orders with current manufacturers that major fast-food franchise chains and other chains, for example, in the transportation sector, will test humanoid robots within their processes. AI is already skilled in programming tasks and will soon be able to enhance itself.

Elon Musk has announced that xAI will launch its large language model (LLM), Grok 3, on Monday at 8:30PM Pacific Time (that’s 10:00AM India time). The billionaire also promised that Grok 3 will be the smartest AI in the world.

Confirming the launch of Grok 3 on X (formerly Twitter), Musk wrote, “Grok 3 release with live demo on Monday night at 8pm PT. Smartest AI on Earth.”

Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO and co-founder, responded that he would not accept and offered to buy X instead.

Advances in brain-computer interfaces enable paralysed users to feel objects in a realistic way via a robotic limb.

The social network company hopes neuroscience will give it an advantage in the AI race.

The development of artificial intelligence has entered a pivotal phase. With groundbreaking advancements in large models such as ChatGPT and Sora, AI is approaching what has been termed as “technological singularity”.The allure of AI’s potential is undeniable, but its immense potential is accompanied by significant risks including deepfakes, frauds and autonomous weapons systems.

The complexities and interconnectedness of AI pose a new global challenge. Hence, building a coordinated global governance framework for AI is no longer optional; it is an urgent necessity.

AI transcends national boundaries, creating both global opportunities and risks that no country alone can manage. Hence, countries across the world need to work together to eliminate the risks.

He predicted the iPhone before anyone else—now he’s making his boldest claim yet. By 2030, life as we know it could be unrecognizable. A world without scarcity, where luxury becomes the new normal? His shocking vision is shaking up the world—but is it really possible?

First, it was generative AI. Then, the talk about AGI grew louder. Now, there’s a new wave that everybody can’t stop talking about.
