Episode Synopsis

Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and his team have a bold mission: penetrating the 4D chess game that's AI embracing our ever-changing biological, physical world.Taking a snapshot is one thing. Remembering the molecular topology and their constant changes of state is truly what separates fact from fiction.It seemed like an impossible target to hit. Until M3-Agent, the work of researchers associated with ByteDance at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, showed up with long-term multimodal memory - allowing the agent to see, hear, remember, and reason just like humans.M3-Agent's potential is groundbreaking.Here are just three use cases that will blow all our minds:Autonomous robotics: Robots in homes or warehouses remember object locations, user habits, and past errors, adapting tasks dynamically, such as a caregiver bot recalling a patient's routines for personalized aidEnhanced surveillance: Security systems analyse live video/audio feeds, building memory of normal patterns to detect anomalies, predict threats, and reason through scenarios, like identifying intruders based on historical behavioursPersonalised education: AI tutors process student interaction videos, remember progress and misconceptions over time, and deliver tailored lessons, such as adapting math explanations from weeks of observed struggles.Read the paper: Seeing, Listening, Remembering, and Reasoning: A Multimodal Agent with Long-Term Memory.
