And it's an incredibly involved thing.

You know, you have to review all the previous and current science and research landscape.

You have to do some sort of an evaluation of the likely value of the yield of your line of inquiry and some sort of an evaluation of the likelihood

the odds of discovering something and so hypothesis generation is this place where we can apply ai in a very dedicated way to confer a lot of advantage to scientists in terms of where they decide to put their attention and energy i was i think we talked about this but i was uh i got to do an interview on stage at the royal institution a few weeks ago with i listened to it yeah me from oh deep mind oh cool yeah thank you

I would say it's... There's maybe something about the fact that it's been...

such a sudden tech push that is off-putting for people.

Meaning, I think that certainly in my opinion, doing what I do, the maximally kind of human palatable way for innovation to happen is to

lead by human pool rather than tech push.

It's to get curious about what matters in people's lives, use that as the jumping off point for generating ideas about how to format the technology and kind of, with a little bit of savoir faire, format the technology so that it unties some knots in people's lives, right?

That's the ideal.

There's something about the speed at which this platform shift came about and how aggressive the competition is to win in this space that means that the flavor of the platform shift is a little bit more tech push than human pull.

And then it can be quite off-putting in a lot of ways.

People get confronted by...

other people who are slinging jargon around that doesn't really make sense to them they're that they don't they hear very dramatic articulations of potential upsides and downsides and don't quite know how to situate themselves relative to that and it can create this sort of

AI malaise that we hear about.

And I think what you do about that is you start from a place of user curiosity.

You start to respectfully understand how this is feeling to people and you start to format the technologies in ways where they experience the value without...

having to hear all the exposition.

I actually think Google's really, really well situated to do that.

Google's already in a bunch of different flavors giving billions and billions of people value that they've woven into their existence quite happily.
