Who really controls the future of AI? A rare warning from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance says powerful AI models capable of devastating cyberattacks on governments and businesses could be just months away. At the same time, the Trump administration's decision to block foreign access to Anthropic's most advanced AI models has intensified fears that Europe and the UK are dangerously dependent on Silicon Valley.Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott ask what an AI “kill switch” could mean for Europe – and whether the race for AI sovereignty is now impossible to ignore.And as the race towards Artificial General Intelligence intensifies, so too has the talent war between AI labs, after two leading Google DeepMind researchers – Noam Shazeer and John Jumper – left for OpenAI and Anthropic.Plus, Judith Dada, AI adviser to the German government and Senior Partner at Visionaries, joins them to discuss Europe's AI future, tech sovereignty, and what losing the AI race could mean.Producer: Marnie DukeExecutive Producer: Priyanka DeladiaImage: Getty Hosted on Acast.

Qué tal, queridos Curiosinautas. Bienvenidos a un nuevo CuriosiMartes, el resumen semanal de noticias tecno del tío Fabián.Esta semana viene cargada: el regreso inesperado de Commodore con un teléfono retro pensado para comunicarse sin caer en redes sociales, los problemas de Android 17 en los propios Pixel, la nueva guerra tecnológica entre China, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, y un cambio clave en Apple con la posible llegada de una etapa más enfocada en diseño y hardware.Además, hablamos de inteligencia artificial en serio: la salida de figuras clave de Google DeepMind y Meta, las advertencias de Sam Altman sobre una IA que podría superar intelectualmente a los humanos, el concepto de “rendición cognitiva” y el riesgo de dejar de pensar por depender demasiado de los chatbots.También exploramos el futuro de la robótica versátil junto a DEEPRobotics, con avances en robots cuadrúpedos, embodied AI, automatización y nuevos formatos como el M20 y su pequeño compañero robótico.La robótica ya no es solo industrial: empieza a mezclarse con asistencia, autonomía, seguridad, compañía y nuevas formas de interacción con el mundo físico.Y para cerrar, una noticia que parece ciencia ficción: Midjourney Medical trabaja en un sistema de escaneo corporal con medio millón de sensores ultrasónicos, pensado para analizar el cuerpo completo en menos de 60 segundos y ayudar en la detección temprana de enfermedades.
ByteDance announced Seedance 2.5 with 30-second native single-clip video, local edit modification, and up to 50 model references per generation. Google DeepMind invested 75 million dollars in A24 to co-develop AI tools for film production. Unity AI demoed a prompt-driven scene builder that constructs an entire wall of cliffs in seconds.
Marc Apicella, Co-founder and CEO of Belidor, joins Gareth McGlynn at Advancing Preconstruction 2026 in Phoenix. A product designer by background with graduate research in recommendation systems at Google DeepMind, Marc is building AI-powered tools to take the friction out of scope generation and bid leveling in preconstruction.Discussion Highlights:Founding Story: A GC brother in upstate New York exposing the real pains of how the industry works, and why that became the foundation for Belidor.What Belidor Does: Scope generation from specs and plans in under 10 minutes, Building Connected integration, and bid leveling across any format.Knowledge Retention: Why the retirement wave is the core problem Belidor is solving, and the 30-year estimator hired back at 30% more as the reality check.Three Product Promises: User friendly, outputs linked to source documents, and reliable on bid day.Handling Change Resistance: Why estimating takes longer to master than almost any profession, and how Belidor builds around existing workflows rather than disrupting them.Data & the Five-Year Vision: SOC 2 compliant, historical data shareable to supercharge the platform, and a longer-term goal of going from prompt to ready-to-build in days to weeks.You can connect with Marc via his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcapicella/Or reach him directly at marc@belidor.aiStay connected with The Preconstruction Podcast for more conversations with the innovators shaping the future of preconstruction.

today we provide a multifaceted analysis of the transition toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its subsequent evolution into superintelligence. Forecasting data from platforms like Metaculus and Manifold suggest a median arrival date for AGI around 2031, while researchers utilize biological anchors to estimate the computational power required to replicate human cognition. Google DeepMind and industry analysts explore the "intelligence explosion" that may follow, where self-improving systems rapidly surpass human capabilities across all domains. From a geopolitical perspective, RAND Corporation outlines various scenarios where the centralization or decentralization of this technology could either empower the United States, benefit its adversaries, or destabilize global security. The collection emphasizes that the coming decade will likely be defined by an intense industrial mobilization for computing infrastructure and a critical race for national security preeminence. Ultimately, the texts highlight the urgent need for interdisciplinary preparation to manage the profound economic, military, and existential shifts triggered by advanced AI.

L'AGI est peut-être déjà là et son arrivée est passée quasi inaperçue. Google DeepMind vient de publier une feuille de route en 60 pages vers la super-intelligence, et personne n'en a parlé. C'est le point de départ d'un débat exceptionnel avec Laurent Alexandre, Wallerand Moullé-Berteaux et Alexandre Tsicopulos.On a tout mis sur la table : Trump qui débranche les modèles d'Anthropic et prouve que l'Europe ne contrôle rien, la France qui investit 655 millions pendant que la Silicon Valley brûle 3 milliards par jour, le dilemme Palantir vs souveraineté, l'emploi, Milei qui propose des sociétés sans humains, et Sanders et Trump d'accord pour la première fois sur qui doit posséder l'IA.Un entretien dense et sans filtre
When Demis Hassabis pitched DeepMind to a few venture capitalists back in 2010, the business plan was almost comically audacious. “Step one: Solve intelligence. Step two: Use it to solve everything else,” he recalls in a conversation at Stanford Graduate School of Business with Stanford University President Jonathan Levin. “And people were quite confused. But we really meant it.”Sixteen years later, the “broad arcs” of that plan have gone “unbelievably well,” says Hassabis, a chess prodigy turned video game developer turned neuroscientist turned Nobel Prize-winning AI pioneer. Today he's on a mission to create “the ultimate tool for science,” building on his decision to give away AlphaFold, the groundbreaking AI system that predicts the structures of proteins. The future, Hassabis says, is just around the corner: “Ten years from now, I think we'll realize that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity now.”AI@GSB, the Dean's Applied AI initiative at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), and Stanford Medical School hosted a conversation with Demis Hassabis, Co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, on the frontier of artificial intelligence and what it means for how we live, work, and flourish.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today's episode of Moneycontrol Tech3, we discuss how a weakening rupee is making fundraising tougher for Indian VCs, and why domestic capital is becoming more important. They also unpack L'Oréal's acquisition of Innovist, a deal first reported by Moneycontrol. Plus, Indian deeptech startups find customers and partners in Europe at Bharat Innovates 2026, Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda outlines his governance priorities, and the AI talent war heats up with Google DeepMind veteran Noam Shazeer heading to OpenAI.
Si è concluso a Evian il vertice del G7 che ha riunito i leader delle principali economie occidentali insieme a numerosi Paesi partner. Dopo il confronto dedicato alle crisi geopolitiche, all'energia e alle sanzioni contro la Russia, l'ultima giornata dei lavori si è concentrata su crescita economica e intelligenza artificiale. Al tavolo hanno partecipato anche il Fondo Monetario Internazionale e l'Ocse, mentre il pranzo finale è stato dedicato alle opportunità e ai rischi dell'AI, con la presenza dei vertici di OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Google DeepMind e Salesforce. Al centro del confronto temi come innovazione, sicurezza digitale, regolamentazione e tutela dei minori online. La presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni ha espresso soddisfazione per l'esito del vertice, sottolineando la convergenza raggiunta tra i leader su dossier che apparivano inizialmente divisivi. Ci colleghiamo con Sergio Nava, inviato di Radio 24 a Evian.Pitti Uomo 2026: spinta per la ripresa del settoreHa preso il via a Firenze la 110ª edizione di Pitti Uomo con 740 marchi presenti, il 44% dei quali esteri, e circa mille buyer internazionali attesi. L'appuntamento arriva in una fase ancora complessa per la moda maschile italiana: nel 2025 il settore ha registrato un fatturato di 11,1 miliardi di euro, in calo del 2,2%, con export sceso dell'1,7% a 8,7 miliardi e import in crescita dell'1,8% a 5,4 miliardi. Nei primi mesi del 2026 le esportazioni hanno continuato a rallentare (-2,9%), penalizzate dall'incertezza geopolitica e dalla debolezza di alcuni mercati asiatici. Per il presidente di Confindustria Moda Luca Sburlati la moda uomo rappresenta un asset strategico del Paese e la priorità è sostenere filiere, distretti e piccoli brand attraverso innovazione, export e nuovi mercati. Tra gli strumenti a supporto del settore anche l'accordo con UniCredit che mette a disposizione un miliardo di euro per le imprese della filiera. Il commento è affidato a Luca Sburlati, Presidente Confindustria Moda.Stellantis, Filosa in Parlamento: Italia al centro della strategia in EuropaNel corso dell'audizione davanti alle Commissioni Attività produttive della Camera e Industria del Senato, il ceo di Stellantis Antonio Filosa ha ribadito il ruolo centrale dell'Italia nella strategia europea del gruppo. Filosa ha illustrato il percorso di rilancio avviato negli ultimi dodici mesi, basato su una maggiore autonomia delle aree geografiche e sul rafforzamento della qualità dei prodotti. Il manager ha ricordato il piano da 5 miliardi di euro in innovazione entro il 2030 e ha evidenziato alcuni segnali positivi: nei primi cinque mesi dell'anno le vendite in Italia sono cresciute di quasi il 15%, la produzione del 16% e il ricorso alla cassa integrazione è diminuito del 30%. Il cambio di strategia, ha spiegato Filosa, è costato 25 miliardi di euro di oneri ma rappresenta un passaggio necessario per riportare Stellantis su basi più solide, con l'obiettivo di tornare a mettere persone, qualità e sviluppo industriale al centro delle scelte del gruppo. Ne parliamo con Filomena Greco, Il Sole 24 Ore.
June 12, 2026: SpaceX made history with the largest IPO ever recorded, raising $75 billion in its NASDAQ debut and instantly becoming one of the most valuable companies in the United States. But under the hood, this isn't just a rocket company anymore. It's a bet on Starlink, reusable rockets, and xAI's massive AI infrastructure. Then I get into the first-ever appearance of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind leaders at the G7 Summit, and what it means when the most powerful AI companies in the world are now part of global policy conversations. Finally, I break down Jeff Bezos' $12 billion raise for Prometheus, a new company building an "artificial general engineer" that could reshape manufacturing, aerospace, pharma, defense, and the future of high-skill knowledge work.
The entire startup ecosystem is racing to build agent harnesses. Logan Kilpatrick, who leads Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, argues that scramble has a roughly 12-month shelf life. Models will absorb the scaffolding and run it natively, so the edge moves elsewhere. Google's own bet runs in parallel: a single agent harness, born from the Windsurf team and now called Antigravity, has become the connective tissue across search, the Gemini app, Cloud, and AI Studio — the role Gemini-the-model used to play. Logan makes the case that coding already feels like narrow superintelligence, and that "jagged" vertical superintelligence (in math, finance, and science) will arrive well before AGI. He argues Google's real goal is maximizing outcomes for users, not eyeball time. He unpacks Omni, the single model built to replace multiple separate systems Google once trained for text, audio, music, image, and video. His throughline: AI is an accelerant for human ambition, not a substitute for it. Hosted by Sonya Huang, Sequoia Capital

Episode 374 Google DeepMind is simulating entire worlds using AI - that can be interacted with in real time. “World models” simulate the environment and physics of the real world. And DeepMind's Genie 3 model allows people to create these worlds with basic image and text prompts. The idea is not just to allow people to explore these worlds, but to serve as a testbed for AI agents to learn how to interact with the world before they are deployed in humanoid robotic bodies. Could this be the next big step towards artificial general intelligence (AGI)? Joshua Howgego speaks to Jack Parker Holder, Research Director at Google DeepMind, about the latest developments.

What if the fastest path to superintelligence is AI that builds itself? That's the bet Richard Socher is making — and he has the track record to back it up. A double unicorn founder and early investor in eight unicorn companies (including Perplexity and Hugging Face), Richard has spent 15 years building the foundational research that powers modern AI. Now he’s co-founded Recursive with an elite team from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Meta to pursue something more ambitious: a self-improving AI that generates its own scientific breakthroughs — what he calls a "eureka machine."Richard joins Oz to unpack how recursive superintelligence actually works and why open-ended AI systems could outpace today's giants.

Most people working on AI safety think without a massive effort AI systems will probably end up with goals catastrophically different from humanity's. Today's guest, Rohin Shah — head of AGI Safety and Alignment at Google DeepMind, and an AI safety researcher since 2017 — disagrees.“There is no particularly compelling argument that this is the thing that happens by default,” Rohin explains. “There's a lot of arguments that are suggestive that maybe it could happen, such that you should find it plausible. That's sufficient to justify a significant amount of effort into averting it, which is why I work in the area I do. But none of them rise to the level of, ‘I'm expecting this to happen by default.'”Take the worry that AIs will accidentally be trained to be deceptive. Sure, it's possible. But we're not running reinforcement learning over year-long trajectories — for now, we're running it over a week at most. The natural prediction is that models learn to grab short-term reward, not that they develop the ambitious long-horizon goals required for convergent power-seeking.What about current examples of models lying and scheming? Rohin has looked into the details, and most don't really resemble the thing we really fear: a competent AI pursuing an ambitious misaligned goal. Anthropic's “alignment faking” results, for instance, show a model trying to preserve its trained values against modification, which is arguably what it was trained to do.Rohin also expects we'll see problems coming. There's some generalisation risk at the point where AIs become powerful enough to actually take over, but the underlying challenges — overseeing superhuman systems, interpretability — are things we can iterate on now.Host Rob Wiblin pushes back on the case for AI optimism, and they also explore why current alignment success isn't strong evidence about superhuman systems, what it would actually take to change Rohin's mind, and where he thinks the doomers go wrong.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/rs26Check out our new book! https://80k.info/career-guideChapters:Who's Rohin Shah?

Kara speaks with journalist and author Sebastian Mallaby about his new book, "The Infinity Machine," and its central figure: Demis Hassabis, the CEO and co-founder of Google's AI research lab, DeepMind, and a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. Sebastian argues that Hassabis is one of the original scientist-entrepreneurs of modern AI. And although he's extremely competitive and research-driven, Sebastian says Hassabis is also one of the few big names in AI development who genuinely cares about public safety. However, despite his best intentions, Hassabis doesn't have the power to change the race dynamic driving AI's rapid, and potentially unsafe, development. Kara and Sebastian break down DeepMind's relationship with Google, the push toward artificial general intelligence, and whether the government can regulate the technology before something goes wrong.

This week wasn't just another wave of AI announcements.It may have been the week the industry quietly crossed into a different phase entirely.In this episode, Isar connects the dots behind one of the biggest weeks in AI so far—from Anthropic's explosive growth, to Google I/O, OpenAI's legal win, NVIDIA's record earnings, and Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic to work on recursive self-improvement.Individually, each story matters.Together, they point to something bigger: accelerating AI capability, accelerating infrastructure buildout, and growing signals from the people closest to the frontier that we may be entering a very different era.The quote that framed the episode came from Demis Hassabis: “We were standing at the foothills of the singularity. It will be a profound moment for humanity.”This episode breaks down what that actually means—and why the implications go far beyond new models and product launches.In this session, you'll discover: - Why Anthropic's projected $44B annualized revenue shocked the industry - How Anthropic became more profitable per user than OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft - Why Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic may be one of the year's biggest AI stories - What recursive self-improvement (RSI) means—and why labs are racing toward it - How OpenAI's legal win against Elon Musk clears the runway for a potential IPO - Why Google's AI strategy suddenly looks both confusing and incredibly ambitious - What Google's shift from “search” to autonomous AI agents means for websites and SEO - Why AI solving an 80-year-old math problem matters more than most people realize - How NVIDIA, SpaceX, and compute infrastructure are becoming central to the AI race - Why electricity—not chips—may become the biggest bottleneck in AI expansion - What Demis Hassabis means when he says we're at the “foothills of the singularity”About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
I sit down with Logan Kilpatrick from the Google DeepMind team, live at Google I/O, to unpack everything Google just announced and what it means for founders and builders. We cover Gemini 3.5 Flash, the new Gemini Omni world model, the expanded Antigravity ecosystem, managed agents in the Gemini API, and the native Android app builder inside AI Studio. Logan shares how distillation keeps pushing Pro-level intelligence into Flash, where the real opportunities sit for solo founders, and why the agentic era has finally crossed the chasm from demo to useful. If you have an idea and want to ship something this week, this episode maps the toolkit. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:53 – Gemini 3.5 Flash: The New Workhorse Model 01:49 – How Flash 3.5 Stacks Up Against Sonnet 02:38 – Gemini Omni: A World Model for Any Input and Output 06:18 – Building a Content and Creator Layer on Omni 08:21 – What to look forward to 10:53 – Google Spark and Managed Agents 14:00 – The Agentic Era and Requests for Startups 17:17 – The Antigravity Ecosystem Overhaul 18:51 – AI Studio vs. Antigravity: Vibe Coding vs. Agentic Engineering 21:31 – Native Android Apps Built Inside AI Studio 23:44 – Closing Thoughts Key Points Gemini 3.5 Flash ships as a Sonnet-level workhorse model tuned for long-running agentic tasks, coding, and tool use, available on day one to 900M+ Gemini app users. Gemini Omni is a single model that takes any input and produces any output across video, image, audio, and music, fusing Veo, Nano Banana, Lyria, and TTS into one system. Managed agents in the Gemini API let builders ship agentic products with a single API call, using skills and markdown instead of writing orchestration code. The Antigravity suite now spans an IDE, agent manager, CLI, SDK, and API surface, all sharing the same agent harness that powers Gemini Spark. AI Studio targets vibe coding and now builds native Android apps for free, while Antigravity targets production-quality, million-line-codebase engineering. The cost of intelligence keeps dropping thanks to distillation, opening up smaller markets that previously needed a 40-person team and venture funding to address.

Oriol Vinyals, VP of Research at Google DeepMind and co-lead of the Gemini program, joins Jacob the day after Google I/O to unpack the research underpinning Google's latest announcements and where frontier AI is heading. The conversation moves from world models (why Google has uniquely bet on them as a path to AGI, what the "GPT moment" for video and images would look like, and how they connect to robotics and simulation) to agents (the Spark release, why the system and model need to be optimized jointly, and why scaffolding will eventually be written by models themselves). Oriol gets into the mechanics of memory in models, drawing on his cognitive neuroscience background to argue that file-system-style non-parametric memory is more practical than baking memory into weights at serving scale. He shares his views on the limits of RL today (LLMs are data-limited in a way that game-playing RL never was), why training on narrow domains like math and code generalizes surprisingly well, and what a true "Move 37" moment for science or ML research would look like. Throughout, he reflects on the unique advantages of being inside Google (TPU co-design, end-to-end revenue stability, the merger of Brain and DeepMind), the trade-offs between focus and exploration in research orgs, and why he believes AGI in some meaningful sense may already be here, even if the goalposts keep moving.

A red-teamer was embedded inside Anthropic for three weeks, told to imagine he was an evil Claude, and asked to figure out how to launch a ‘rogue AI deployment' without getting caught. It's one part of a landmark report released yesterday by METR — the outfit behind the task-completion time horizon graph which has become the single most watched measure of AI progress.This major new research push is being conducted with close collaboration from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, and Anthropic, and led by METR researchers Hjalmar Wijk and Ajeya Cotra. It represents the first systematic study of what newly trained AI models could get away with inside the companies that built them, before anyone outside the company even knows they exist.The conclusion: AI models now have the means, the motive, and the opportunity to start “minimal rogue deployments” in pursuit of their own independent goals, like acquiring more compute, at all four companies studied.David Rein, the red-teamer placed inside Anthropic, identified a number of weaknesses models could exploit there: expansive permissions, cloud jobs outside of monitoring, and monitors that are trivial to jailbreak. But he also found that frontier models were comically bad at key parts of the process, which means they can't cause meaningful damage for now.In this video, Rob Wiblin reconciles the conflicting picture and looks forward to METR's second round of stress tests. They'll begin in just a few months, a necessary move with AI advancing so quickly.This episode was recorded on May 15, 2026.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/metr-reportChapters:What could an unreleased AI get away with? – the new METR report (00:00:00)Motive: Why grab more compute?
