It is infused in me.
You can't separate it from me.
I'm definitely not denying it can be strong-willed or difficult.
I think I have to be.
If I was like a reed in the wind, I wouldn't be doing my job as a leader.
Demis' core theme is that money and power were not ends in themselves.
They were a means to scientific knowledge.
I think so.
I mean, I've been on record saying what I'd like to see happen, it was always my dream of the kind of the roadmap, at least I had when I started out DeepMind 15 years ago and started working on AI 25 years ago now, was that as we got close to this moment, this threshold moment of AGI arriving,
We would maybe collaborate, you know, in a scientific way.
I sometimes talk about setting up an international CERN equivalent for AI, where all the best minds in the world would collaborate together to kind of figure out what we want from this technology and how to utilize it in a
in a way that benefits all of humanity.
And I think that's what's at stake.
Unfortunately, it kind of needs international collaboration though, because even if one company or even one nation or even the West decided to do that, it has no use unless the whole world agrees, at least on some kind of minimum standards.
And maybe it would be good to have a bit of a slightly slower pace than we're currently predicting, even my timelines, so that we can get this right societally.
But that would require some coordination that is- For your timelines.
Yes.
I think it would be better for many reasons.
It's been hard work, really hard work getting our technology and the models sort of back to state of the art.
I think we did that with Gemini 3 especially and Nanobun, our in-imaging software.
