In Toronto, day two of the Collision tech conference saw Colin Murdoch, Google Deep Mind’s chief business officer, proclaim that “AI can play an important role” in helping humanity, starting with climate change and healthcare. He trumpeted his company’s AlphaFold which has been predicting 3D models of proteins. More recently, Deep Mind trained two small robots to play football (soccer). The robots spent two weeks learning scoring and defense moves, which Murdoch stressed has beneficial applications in areas such as mining and disaster relief work. Google was more convincing than AWS the day before. Generative AI is by far the key theme of this year’s Collision.<\/p>\n
