New paper our! It was an absolute pleasure working with a ton of talented people across Google Research, DeepMind and multiple universities - to deeply explore what it will mean to have intelligent AI assistants present and integrated in our digital lives.
1. What are the ethical and societal implications of advanced AI assistants? What might change in a world with more agentic AI? Our new paper explores these questions: storage.googleapis.com/deepm… It’s the result of a one year research collaboration involving 50+ researchers… a🧵

I also want to say that of all the mega-papers I've worked on, this one is by far the most readable: skimmable from the top, and well-organized for deep-dives. Kudos to the primary authors/editors @IasonGabriel, @Arianna_Manzini, Geoff Keeling!

Some really great visualizations and demonstrations by @adamrpearce and @nicki_mitch around the key ideas behind Federated Learning, and how it enables learning communally-useful ML models without ever bringing all the raw data together.
Most machine learning models are trained by collecting vast amounts of data on a central server. @nicki_mitch and I looked at how federated learning makes it possible to train models without any user's raw data leaving their device. pair.withgoogle.com/explorab…

Just dropped: an interactive federated learning+privacy explorable from @GoogleAI PAIR! Don't miss the in-browser simulation of FL and differential privacy being used to protect outlier data points - try the different parameters to get an intuition for privacy/utility trade-offs.

Wild mammal biomass has declined by 85% since the rise of humans. Today, humans represent aproximately 34% of global mammal biomass, while 62% is humans' livestock and pets. Wild mammals are just 4% [read more: ourworldindata.org/mammals]

Introducing Federated Reconstruction, an approach that enables scalable partially local #FederatedLearning and thus avoids revealing privacy-sensitive data. Read all about our approach, including how it was successfully deployed to Gboard ↓ goo.gle/3F2Cf2t
