People with high-profile jobs are severely constrained in what they can say (even though this guy is not the CEO, contrary to what the title claims ATM).
And we already saw that google doesn't want to touch the "uglier" aspects of ML/AI/robotics with a ten-foot-pole (e.g. see how they reacted to Boston Dynamics's humanoid robot video).
So I'm not sure if we should take this seriously. DeepMind technical views are mostly on its papers. Not press statements.
- dpandey 10y agoReally good point. He might just be following google's PR directives. Also, while their research team is ostensibly doing great work, maybe the product team doesn't have much to show or claim after all. Which CEO/exec wouldn't want to make a tall claim about their product or company while on stage (that they can reasonably back up if questioned)?
