AI-Powered Robots Are Here—What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
If AI chatbots giving bad advice was concerning, wait until they start physically acting on it. Google DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics takes AI beyond the chat window, bringing language models into real-world automation.
Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Robotics, an AI model designed to bring robots into the physical world. Trained on multimodal data—language, vision, and action, these robots can now manipulate objects, respond to commands, and even collaborate with humans.
Unlike past efforts, this model generalizes across different robotic systems, making scalable automation more feasible. To prevent unintended consequences (think: rogue robot arms), Google also introduced ASIMOV, a benchmark to assess potential risks in AI-powered robotics.
- Robots trained with Gemini Robotics can perform complex, dexterous tasks.
- Google is working with firms like Boston Dynamics to advance humanoid robotics.
- AI safety remains a challenge, as demonstrated by past robot “jailbreaks.”
Will AI-driven robots bring efficiency, or create an automation arms race? How do we ensure control as these systems evolve? Share your thoughts.
