The new team will build upon the work of Google’s existing Gemini, Veo, and Genie teams, aiming to address key challenges.

Google is forming a new team to build AI models capable of accurately simulating the physical world. The effort will be led by Tim Brooks, a former co-lead on OpenAI's video generator, Sora. Brooks joined Google's AI research lab,

Google DeepMind is creating a new team to develop AI world models, focusing on simulating real-world dynamics and advancing artificial general intelligence.

Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun described world models this way during a speech at Hudson Forum earlier this year: “A world model is your mental model of how the world behaves…You can imagine a sequence of actions you might take, and your world model will allow you to predict what the effect of the sequence of action will be on the world.”

In order to develop AI models that can replicate the real world, Google is assembling a new team. Under Tim Brooks’ leadership, Google is assembling a new artificial intelligence team within its DeepMind division to develop models that can replicate the real world.

DeepMind has ambitious plans to make massive generative models that simulate the world. I’m hiring for a new team with this mission. Come build with us! Brooks, who previously led the development of OpenAI’s video generation model Sora,
