Google co-founder and former Alphabet president Sergey Brin said he now goes back to work at Google “just about on daily basis” because he has never seen anything as exciting because the recent advances in artificial intelligence – and he doesn't need to miss out.
Brin revealed the news in a interview in the course of the All-In Summit in LA this week. Last yr several Publications reported that Brin was back at Google headquarters working on various AI projects, however the meeting was the primary time Brin had publicly commented on his return.
“It's a giant, rapidly evolving field,” Brin said of AI, adding that it has “tremendous value to humanity.” He then explained why he believes training more powerful AI won't require a large expansion of computing power.
“I've read some papers that extrapolate … and I don't know if I actually imagine it,” he said, “partly since the algorithmic improvements lately may even outweigh the increased computing power that goes into these models.”
