[soft music begins] [Sundar Pichai
speaking] You know, one of the reasons we got interested in AI from
the very beginning is that we always viewed our mission
as a timeless mission. It's to organize the world's information and make it universally
accessible and useful. But as information has grown
in scale and complexity, you know, the problem has gotten harder. So we always knew we needed to have a deeper breakthrough
to make progress. [upbeat music begins] [voice of Demis Hassabis] I've
worked on AI my whole life because I've always felt it
would be the most beneficial and consequential technology for humanity. Human beings in our society, we have five senses,
and the world we built, and the media we consume is
in those different modalities. So, I'm super proud and excited to announce the launch of the Gemini era, a first step towards a
truly universal AI model. [Jeff Dean speaking] The Gemini
approach to multimodality is all the kinds of things you want an artificial intelligence
system to be able to do, and these are capabilities
that haven't really existed in computers before. [Oriol Vinyals speaking] Traditionally,
multimodal models are created by stitching together
text-only, vision-only, and audio-only models in a suboptimal way at a secondary stage. Gemini is multimodal from the ground up, so it can seamlessly have a
conversation across modalities and give you the best possible response. [voice of Demis Hassabis] Gemini is
our largest and most capable model, it means that Gemini can
understand the world around us in the way that we do and absorb any type of input and output, so not just text like most models, but also code, audio, image and video. What's amazing about Gemini is that it's so good at so many things. As we started getting to
the end of the training, we started seeing that Gemini was better than any other model out there on these very, very important benchmarks. For example, each of the
50 different subject areas that we tested on, it's as good as the best
expert humans in those areas. [Sundar Pichai speaking] It's very
rare that you can work on a technology at a foundational level, and it simultaneously can
impact all our products. [Oriol Vinyals speaking] We
created a family of models that can run on everything from mobile devices to data centers, each of which is actually best in class. [Eli Collins speaking] Gemini
will be available in three sizes. Gemini Ultra, our most capable and largest model for
highly complex tasks; Gemini Pro, our best performing model for a broad range of tasks; and Gemini Nano, our most efficient model for on-device tasks. [Demis Hassabis speaking]
We want to provide the best
foundational building blocks, and then we know developers and enterprise customers are going to figure out really creative ways to further refine our
Gemini foundational models, and the potential's almost limitless. [voice Of James Manyika] So at
Google, there's this healthy disregard for the impossible, and that has oriented us to be both bold and responsible together. As these systems become more capable, all of those capabilities
also raise new questions. [Tulsee Doshi speaking] We have to think
about what it means to have an image, be a part of, for example, the input. Because an image might
be innocuous on its own, or text might be innocuous on its own, but the combination could
be offensive or hurtful. [Lila Ibrahim speaking]
Safety and responsibility has to be built-in from the beginning. And at Google DeepMind, that's
what we've done with Gemini. [voice of Tulsee Doshi] We
develop proactive policies and adapt those to the
unique considerations of multimodal capabilities; we then do rigorous testing
against those policies to prevent the harms that we've identified with approaches like
classifiers and filters. [voice of Sundar Pichai] If I were to
look at the foundational breakthroughs in AI over the past decade, Google has been at the forefront of many of those breakthroughs, and I think Gemini continues
that rich tradition. [voice of Demis Hassabis]
It's been an enormous sort of
monumental engineering task, which has been, you
know, very challenging, but also very exciting. [Jeff Dean speaking] I have
been at Google for quite a while and the reason I'm here
is really, I believe in the company's mission, and I think Gemini is a great
step in that overall mission. [Oriol Vinyals speaking] We end up
with a world that has more knowledge and that people have more
access to information that otherwise would not
be available to them. [voice of Sundar Pichai]
That's what excites me, the chance to make AI helpful for everyone, everywhere in the world. [music becomes more upbeat]
