This isn't about chatbots and LLMs.
Not mentioned in the article but Gemini is obviously developed by the DeepMind teams, among many other things.
True, but the institution here is more about the scientific uses of AI.
They specifically reference AlphaFold as an example of the kinds of advancements that they're aiming at. The DeepMind team is involved in most of Google's AI projects as they're the leading researchers on the topic.
I meant that this isn't a school opening to push the technologies responsible for the current AI/LLM/ChatBot bubble that is causing all of the negative societal effects. This is more of an advanced Machine Learning (including neural networks and Transformer chased models) institute than a Chatbot/gen AI factory.
Too many people conflate the two things so the real science portion of machine learning is catching strays from the fight against the capitalist orgy around generative AI/chatbots.
It's important to acknowledge the difference.
