Ben Goertzel suggests Google is shifting its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) strategy, potentially sidelining DeepMind's diverse research arms in favor of a singular focus on LLMs, similar to OpenAI and Anthropic. This pivot, driven by concerns of being outpaced in the LLM race, may lead to the discontinuation of projects like Genie, Gato, and Sima. While this could bolster Google's LLM capabilities, it might also diminish its prospects for breakthroughs beyond text-based models, unless Shane Legg's team holds a key alternative AGI approach. AI
IMPACT Google's potential shift to an LLM-exclusive AGI strategy could accelerate the race for text-based AI, but risks missing out on alternative breakthroughs.
