- Google's DeepMind is restricting the release of its AI research to maintain a competitive edge.
- A tougher vetting process and more bureaucracy have made it harder to publish studies.
- DeepMind is particularly reluctant to share papers that could benefit competitors or negatively portray its Gemini AI model.
- This marks a shift from DeepMind's previous open publication culture.
- Google's 2017 'transformers' paper was pivotal in the generative AI boom but such openness is unlikely now.
- DeepMind has implemented a six-month embargo on 'strategic' generative AI papers and requires multiple approvals for publication.
