As a mathematician is so satisfying see the rise of science as a cool thing. Nice time to be alive 🙌🏽
Science was cool before two world wars.
It feels like theres alot to be done on the mathematical side in ml at the moment and i wouldnt be surprised if some pure math ideas actually find some practical usages in ml in the next few years (e.g. before message encryption was a thing elliptics curves were a topic in pure math with no real practical use cases)
AI drives engineers crazy. Check how much hair left on Ilya and Demis
😂
That is because Demis sleeps too late.
no hair = lots of passion 😂
@@kimster9998 please add this to the training data. And increase its weight🤣
for what, prediction on success as a ai engineer using hair loss as a feature?
He is a modern da vinci on ai, unbeatable. Thanks God he is caring about scientific knowledge.
For the money for the money. They are just trying to hit that payout for a buy out. It's all about the money.
I’m not the biggest fan of Google but DeepMind team are the AlphaGOATS
@@Alpharizzchad Did you even watch the video? They just said that Google had to stop sharing research papers for free to its competitors after OpenAI and Microsoft took advantage of it. Google has been sharing Alphafold 1-3 for free to tens of thousands of researchers, which is extremely generous.
@@Alpharizzchad today we are enjoying all this technology and convineance for these extremely talented people. At least they are moving humanity forward in terms of technology.
Both Demis and Mustafa (now CEO of AI Microsoft) are the pioneers of AI
I can’t believe I just watched a 10 min google ad
Demis should have been made CEO a _long_ time ago! The company would be unstoppable!!
he got trolled by sam again
He needs to focus on r&d , leave the ceo role to someone else seems a better option
I believe you don't have a Software Background. Researchers can never be a good CEO.
@@Laras3383Lisa Su of AMD is an example, can’t compare genius to average people
@@n99w79 AMD is not google and Lisa isn't Demis. She doesn't have any AI background. Just expertise in semi conductors that all. Check Demis accolades vs Lisa su.. Being a CEO is entirely different.
Since when Google needs to be saved? Just another hit piece from CNBC and Deirdre Bosa
Since they didn't have a hit product for years. And they are behind innovation.
Once Google was top1 employer for programmers, now it is just another large corporation like a financial company or others.
@@AdamFiregate they don’t need hit products that disrupt their already awesome products. To the contrary, they need to layoff all the over-hired, at least 25% of the existing staffs, rather than catering to those entitled employees who do nothing but attending meetings.
Thank you. CNBC is a weird company
I love CNBC critical thinkers these days.. Imagine if they showed up in 2020 and saw the media hysteria. I guess better late than never
When was the rejection Adam
Correction: He became the 2nd highest junior chess player in the world. Big difference from among players of all ages.
Google needs a new CEO! It is very obvious!
can this title be anymore click baity ??
That whiteboard really pulled it all together. Great job!
Yes.🤣
Nice Summary from CNBC
Lol Sam Altman (Microsoft) vs Demis Hassabis (Google) the AI race has officially started and we have our contenders
Sam Altman is not an AI engineer/scientist Demis is
Altman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
sam scaman is businessman while Demis is engineer, there is a huge difference.
google is actually doing the research and they have been partnered up with many companies to create something meaningful with AI. I don't hear the same from any other big tech. People need to realize how innovative google is.
They released the idea of Transformers to the world for a different intent, but OpenAI saw it from a different angle and used Transformers as the solution for LLMs. Now, everyone were caught flat footed.
'Transformers! That's the 'T' in ChaTgpt'
No it's second 'T'.
Gpt - generative pretrained transformer
@@adilaxmiyamasani4495 lol I hope you're a bot, mam
Demis incredible at Deepmind. You can tell his energy and enthusiasm has changed now that he is at Google Deepmind. There’s a reason why so many Google Deepmind researchers keep leaving the company. Google is overly cautious and hesitant.
since when open AI passed google ? when did that happen
He worked on one of my favorite games of all time: Theme Park.
The music is very loud
Marc Rebillet keynote opening is epic right now live
Yes, he can and he will. He is the REAL AI GOAT; a super smart guy.
What we need from google are golang native packages for AI/Ml.
Demis Hassabis and Sundar Pichai! A winning combination and individuals to be admired not only for their brilliance but for being concerned leaders in this leap into the future.
Demis is a genius
@@ravd8082 Your comment speaks volumes about Pichai's performance and I do agree with it. Demis might be the ace in the hole Google needs.
This guy is extremely smart and so I can see google pulling ahead in Ai but they got to stop being so darn cautions 😂
they are lucky to have him
I find it crazy how much hype there is behind AI. The fact that it takes so much energy to power an AI model and the models keep taking more and more resources, shows you how it’s not scalable. All these tech companies are just forcing a return of investment.
efficiency of AI LLM models right now is abysmal, sure. But the next step forward is making them more energy efficient, and making them run locally on portable devices. Strides are being made towards this. Companies like Apple, Google are trying to make their models run on device, this will force models become more and more efficient. We're not there yet, but it will reach there.
@@user-pe1nz6xt4e apple??? they haven’t done anything yet on AI what other companies like Google or Microsoft/openAI, Meta has done. apple don’t fit here.
Talk about fumbling the ball!
I like academic research, but it’s needs practical use. The decision to make a product before releasing papers was the right call.
News channel citing other news reports and this is called journalism 👏👏
Not to mention her stupid white board.
you might want to delete this thats a common thing in journalism actually
@@bobizemo so if you don't agree with something then I am supposed to delete my comment?
@@proudindian3697 no its not a matter of agreeing you are just implying something that makes no sense
@@bobizemo your comment also doesn't make sense to me so you should delete it
Hey, no pressure!
If he is expected to save google then what’s the point of having an incompetent ceo pichai?
🔥
Make all for better futur 🆙
I like that strategy stay far from users
Do we really know how big Google is?
Nope. Google shows very little respect for privacy. The new AI based Google Photos is a clear example.
Google has a track of advanced research and patents than OpenAI
In terms of a long term battle, Google has an advantage on cash, infra, resource
The first program was done in70s
Less talk, more release. @google
Google has a design problem for generative consumer AI, not a tech problem. Many types of ML/AI .
Stop the cringe nonsense. The key to Alphabet's success in AI is youtube: the largest catalogue of video content: this is far, far more superior than the text manifest scoured on the web.
I'm agree with you
Except their AI is so pathetic that half the comments don't get posted or remain unseen.
I think Demis should be the new CEO of Alphabet…
Probably he doesn't want to deal with internal politics. Better not to go down that way.
Maybe in 10 years if he proves that DeepMind was the key to Google's AI ambitions. Demis needs much more seasoning to be a CEO. It's a different sort of skill set. With the wisdom he has managing all their AI, after another 10 years of experience, especially if he's a huge reason Google becomes the worlds first 10 trillion dollar company, then yes... maybe he could be CEO
his work is purely AI , google has many divisions
High IQ reading on this event is Sundar Pichai trying very hard not to be removed as a CEO by shifting attention and public responsibility to other figures.
I disagree. All the work done by Google on AI is under Sundar Pichai leadership and Google is the strongest all around company on the market with so many different products and platforms. Neither Meta nor Microsoft have it.
mission accomplished
He is being projected by the media so much lately out of the blue, looks like he's gonna be named the next CEO of Alphabet.
📰
He's way better than ...
i always liked him
Sundar Pichai will still think about humanity a little bit, but for SATYA Nadella, Money is GOD, so he would let OpenAI play wild
Next Google CEO?
Sundar Pichai seems to be the problem. He's been slow in competing with the smartest and bravest in the techworld.
at least he is doing something and Google so far has done good. whereas look at poor state of apple. Their CEO Cook has fried the apple.
@@732harris Both are seem to be going down. Both now lack innovation.
Sprinkle some AI. Everyone thinks that’s the answer but it’s all snake oil. Never trust anyone selling you a dream
Not so
Google is in good hands. Pichai has taken Google to the position of near total dominance it enjoys today. He will continue to maintain the trajectory with the help of abundant resources and talent like Demis Hasabis. The talk of whether Google will survive AI upheavals is more noise than signal.
In presure Google is just trying to think like GPT. But google has got massive data of users and browser. They can still monitor GPT responses 😂. Well can do wonders by merging all the products they have gOT.
LOL, so google engineers drew a circle and postulated the idea of the wheel, then OPEN AI built a Ferrari with wheels...
Nope. Google built a Ferrari, kept it in the garage and published the blueprint. Then OpenAI took the blueprint and built and released Wolkswagen based on it.
@@Steki007 where's the Ferrari then?
Frozen assets and fourth amendment and fourteenth amendment etc.
I wanted to see Satya and Demi co-present. Oh well.
Honestly if you actually are a data scientist and work in big tech, you find such headlines an absolute dogshit.
Is Demis truly remarkable? Yes he is. But he is just one of many many many remarkable scientists in the business and academia and for sure the fate of a giant like Google doesn't rest on shoulders of one person.
I know it's dramatic and fun to think like that but take it from an insider, that cannot be farther from the reality.
AI policies/roadmap and achievements of these companies do not come from a single mind. no matter how brilliant that one mind is.
learning is Not about sales of product.. it's about Learning the most there is to know about any subject. Every year information has been deleted to a point i get few answers to searches there's 3 or more ads. sad very sad , who's teaching our childrens Ai.. that which will be teaching our future adults. please don't create spoon fed sheeple.
At this point, he's the only one who can save Google
Lmao 🤣
Demis Hassabis fate hinges on this man: Google
CNBC's fate hinges on this man: Amazon
Am I alone in thinking this reporter is trash?
Rethinking which company does real innovation is a useful act.
Google is behind, but now they probably have a chance with Hassabis.
No, I can't stand her either. And her idiotic whiteboard too
ℹ️
How much are you paid?
let's fire Sundar Pichai. He is not a visionary, just a vanilla flavored CEO.
I disagree. All the work done by Google on AI is under Sundar Pichai leadership and Google is the strongest all around company on the market with so many different products and platforms. Neither Meta nor Microsoft have it.
@@732harris not true. Google was already working on AI long before Sundar came along. Sergie and Larry are the real visionaries
What kind of clickbait is this? Google stock price is all time high. What needs to be saved here?
"Whether or not Google executives see it this way, the employees who constantly adjust the search giant's algorithms are manipulating people every minute of every day." ~Elon Musk
Ironic coming from the master manipulator Musk
arent he is solving humanity problem? why ask him go solve chatting problem
...hopefully Hassabis is not sucked in by the profit and "competitive spirit" -ecosystem of worst that is normalized by the market (including this newsclip). It will be a lose.
No chance if he lives in the UK. He needs to be at their HQ
Hassabis co-founded DeepMind in London, UK in 2010. It was acquired by Google in 2014, but is still based in London. Google's current London HQ is impressive (I've been there as my son-in-law heads up a Google division for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). Google is also building a new London HQ, under construction nearby, dubbed 'The Landscraper' as it is longer than the London Shard is tall, but is still 11 storey's high. It is nearing completion and will provide 80,819 square metres (869,828 square feet) of accommodation. It will be the first Google building outside of the US to be 100 percent owned and designed by the tech giant. Nevertheless, Google will retain its current already massive London HQ nearby.
A quote from a recent tech article addresses your point head on:- "It’s significant, notes Rohan Silva in a recent article, that although it is now part of Alphabet, the founding team did not relocate “because Demis [Hassabis] and his DeepMind colleagues were sure being in London gave them an edge over their competitors, they insisted they had to stay here, not move to California.” And since Demis Hassabis is tipped as Google's next CEO that doesn't look like changing anytime soon.
no he doesnt , deepmind have offices in usa, canada as well etc
@@ravd8082 And the UK - DeepMind was created in London where it remains headquartered.
The UK is more cost effective though. 😂
@@StuartHallPlectic Google is not a bank. They don't need to be "cost effective" they need to create products that are winners. They have stopped doing that because they are just milking the search cow that they have, like all good monopolies.
AI arms race. Only words AMERICANS could say so casually. Watch your mouth America
Google is suffering ensteiflement
The narrative that Google "gave away the farm" with the "Attention is all you Need" paper ignores the fact that Deep Mind used improvements to the transformer model that Microsoft came up with to upgrade AlphaGo.
A company with brilliant minds but at least in the past 12 months they always looked like noobs when they tried to challenge OpenAI
ha really? how?
answer is no.
OpenAI no match for Google's Hassabis in AI applications
"Google's founding motto was 'don't be evil'. A phrase that was included in their official code of conduct. But in 2018 they quietly removed all references to it and sadly more everyday that's exactly what they are becoming." ~ Mark Dice
this is probably just for PR,
Pretty idiotic topic. It’s ironic you are using Googles UA-cam to earn a living yet still go on to bash the company.
Yes sir news media cannot make money without spreading negativity news😅😅
YT was invented around 2005 and Google bought it.
Having good products, but no real innovation since years.
They are just maintaining old products like UA-cam and Drive.
Altough i like those software i have criticism what could be better.
Google search is worse than Yandex
This is the most idiotic title for a video. Nobody need to save Google. they basically invented the modern AI the (transformer algorithm)And give it for free for the rest of the world. Google is the absolute King of AI.
lol, maybe google should have taken MORE PRECAUTION, instead of releasing the most WOKE AI EVER...
And he's one of the T shirt people. The new thing. The Gray or black T shirt people. They dress Like the rest of us.but those T shirts cost 2-300 dollar . They are hiding in the crowd and they believe that they are special. Google the tshirts crap it's crazy
