Kathleen Kenealy - Creating, building, and releasing Gemma, Google's open model family
About this episode
Meet Kathleen Kenealy, a Software Engineer at Google DeepMind, working on the next generation of large language models (LLMs) and open models. In the episode we talk about Gemma, Google's newest family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
Join us as we unpack the history and the importance of open technology at Google and the advantages and risks of sharing cutting edge technology with the world. We learn how that open technology started Kathleen on her own journey into AI. Kathleen shares her experience growing her team from being the only team member at first working on Gemma, growing up loving STEM, her graduate school experience working with AI Chatbots, and more on this episode of People of AI hosted by Ashley Oldacre!
