Google DeepMind forms a new org focused on AI safety

In response to concerns over the potential for AI-generated disinformation, Google DeepMind has announced the formation of its new organization, AI Safety and Alignment, which aims to address AI safety, with a focus on artificial general intelligence (AGI). The organization will work on incorporating safeguards against issues like medical advice, child safety, and bias amelioration.

Leading the Charge in AI Safety

Anca Dragan, a former Waymo scientist and UC Berkeley professor, will lead the organization and its mission to align AI systems with human values. The teams within AI Safety and Alignment will tackle the technical challenges of AGI safety, preventing harmful AI applications, and advancing solutions for AI's present and future risks.
