Episode 68: How is Google DeepMind pushing the boundaries of AI to tackle drug discovery, robotics, and even autonomous AI agents? Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) sits down with DeepMind CEO Sir Demis Hassabis (https://x.com/demishassabis), a neuroscientist, AI pioneer, Nobel laureate, and knight, to peel back the curtain on Google’s latest advances—and the ethical challenges that come with them.
In this episode, Matt and Demis go deep on what’s powering the newest generation of AI agents, how models like AlphaFold and AlphaEvolve are accelerating scientific breakthroughs, and why world models are so important for the future of robotics. Demis shares why he believes AI is poised to reshape society—for better and for worse—and what Google is doing to build public trust in its systems.
