Google co-founder and former Alphabet president Sergey Brin said he's never seen anything more exciting than recent advances in AI and he works at Google “almost every day” because he doesn't want to miss out on them.
Brin revealed the information during an interview at the All In Summit in Los Angeles this week. Multiple media outlets reported last year that Brin had returned to Google headquarters to work on various AI projects, but this is the first time he has commented publicly about his return.
“AI is a big and rapidly evolving field,” Brin said of AI, adding that it has “great value to humanity,” before explaining why he doesn't think we need a massive increase in computing power to train more capable AI.
“I've read some articles. [compute] “… And I'm not sure I really believe that,” he said, “because the improvements in algorithms over the last few years may be outpacing the increases in computing power that are being put into these models.”
