🤖 Google’s new AI model controls robots & more

Google DeepMind has taken a significant stride towards a future dominated by robots through their recent introduction of the vision-language-action model, RT-2. This cutting edge model utilizes internet data to enhance robotic control.

Some of the key features:

• RT-2 not only comprehends human instructions but also translates them into actionable tasks for robots

• Its training involves text and image data sourced from the internet, enabling the transfer of knowledge to robot behavior, effectively enabling robots to “speak robot.”

• It exhibits the ability to identify and handle tasks like recognizing and disposing of trash, or selecting specific objects

While the vision of robots managing our household chores may still seem distant, RT-2 brings us one step closer to that future. With its remarkable capabilities, this model sets the stage for enhanced robotic assistance and interaction with humans.

The company said that unlike chatbots, robots need ‘grounding’ in the real world and their abilities.

🏋🏻 LinkedIn potentially working on a new AI coach

An AI assistant or coach is currently under development by LinkedIn, as revealed by app researcher Nima Owji. The upcoming app is expected to aid users in the following ways:

• Facilitate job applications

• Support learning of new skills

• Assist in networking with their connections

Though details about the feature are limited, a screenshot shared by Owji suggests that users will be able to ask the AI coach questions such as inquiring about a company’s nature of operations, understanding company culture, and learning about the functioning of the AI coach.

Microsoft, the owner of LinkedIn, has been actively testing AI features across various products like Bing and Office. It’s highly probable that LinkedIn is leveraging this expertise to incorporate AI capabilities into their platform.

🧠 INSIGHTS

AI is not going to take your job, here’s why

Going back centuries, there have always been persistent concerns about job displacement whenever a new technology comes to the fore. Let’s take a look at a recent example, ATMs and what they did to bank tellers.

Evidence shows that with the installation of more ATMs, the demand for tellers also increased.

Initially, an average bank branch in urban areas required around 21 tellers. However, the introduction of ATM machines reduced this number to about 13 tellers, making it more cost-effective to run a branch. The banks, motivated partly by deregulation and basic marketing factors, desired to expand the number of branch offices.

With the decreased operating costs, the demand for branch offices grew, leading to an increase in the demand for bank tellers. Remarkably, this rise in demand for tellers offset the job losses that would have otherwise occurred due to labor-saving technology. Thus, the labor-saving technology surprisingly ended up creating more jobs in the banking sector.
