Google co-founder Sergey Brin has revealed that he’s back working at Google “pretty much every day” to focus on the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Brin made this announcement in an interview during the All-In Summit in Los Angeles this week.
Last year, several publications reported that Brin was back at Google HQ working on various AI projects, but this sit-down marks the first time Brin has publicly commented on his return. He cited the tremendous value AI can bring to humanity as the primary reason for his renewed involvement.
Brin believes that the algorithmic improvements in AI over the past few years may be outpacing the increased compute power being put into these models. He expressed skepticism about the need for massively scaling up compute to train more capable AI systems.
“It’s a big, fast-moving field,” Brin said of AI, emphasizing the excitement he feels about the recent progress in the field.
