Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 Simulates 3D Worlds for AI Training

Google says its latest AI model called Genie 3 takes us closer to artificial general intelligence.

Google DeepMind is preparing to release an artificial intelligence model designed to simulate interactive 3D environments, providing a training ground for AI agents such as robots and autonomous systems. Called Genie 3, the AI model enables these agents to learn how to perform tasks in realistic, physics-driven virtual settings.

Step closer to artificial general intelligence

Google’s AI division describes the so-called “world model” as a “stepping stone on the path to AGI,” artificial general intelligence, where the system possesses human-level cognitive abilities. To achieve this, AI agents must be trained in simulations that follow the laws of physics.

But Genie 3 won’t just be useful for training robots learning how to perform logistical tasks in controlled settings like warehouses — it could also provide immersive simulations for people such as ...
