Google co-founder and ex-Alphabet president Sergey Brin mentioned he’s again working at Google “pretty much every day” as a result of he hasn’t seen something as thrilling because the latest progress in AI — and doesn’t need to miss out.
Brin revealed the tidbit in an interview through the All-In Summit in L.A. this week. Last 12 months, a number of publications reported that Brin was again at Google HQ engaged on varied AI tasks, however the sit-down is the primary time Brin has publicly commented on his return.
“It’s a big, fast-moving field,” Brin mentioned of AI, including that there’s “tremendous value to humanity,” earlier than explaining why he doesn’t suppose coaching extra succesful AI would require massively scaling up compute.
“I’ve read some articles that extrapolate [compute] … and I don’t know if I’m quite a believer,” he mentioned, “partly because the algorithmic improvements that have come over the last few years maybe are actually even outpacing the increased compute that’s being put into these models.”
