Google DeepMind and World Labs unveil AI tools to create 3D spaces from simple prompts – Computerworld

It’s possible to generate “consistent worlds” for up to a minute, DeepMind said, with most of the examples showcased in the blog post lasting between 10 and 20 seconds. Genie 2 can also remember parts of the virtual world that are no longer in view, reproducing them accurately when they’re observable again.

DeepMind said its work on Genie is still at an early stage; it’s not clear when the technology might be more widely available. Genie 2 is described as a research tool that can “rapidly prototype diverse interactive experiences” and train AI agents.

Google also announced that its generative AI (genAI) video model, Veo, is now available in a private preview to business customers using its Vertex AI platform. The image-to-video model will open up “new possibilities for creative expression” and streamline “video production workflows,” Google said in a blog post Tuesday.
