Google's AI division, DeepMind, recently claimed to have discovered millions of new materials using deep learning techniques. However, a new analysis conducted by researchers challenges these claims, arguing that DeepMind "does not report any new materials." The study suggests that many of the materials identified by DeepMind's AI are nonsensical, casting doubt on the initial announcement's validity.
