Returning to Google During the AI Revolution

INTERVIEWER: You’re punching a clock, man. I hear the reports. You and I have talked about it. You’re going to work every day.

SERGEY BRIN: Yeah, it’s been, you know, some of the most fun I’ve had in my life, honestly. And I retired like a month before COVID hit. In theory, yeah. And I was like, you know, this has been good. I want to do something else. I want to hang out in cafes, read physics books. And then like a month later I was like, that’s not really happening.

So then I just started to go to the office, you know, once we could go to the office and actually, to be perfectly honest, there was a guy from OpenAI, this guy named Dan, and I ran into him at a little party and he said, you know, look, what are you doing? This is like the greatest transformative moment in computer science ever, completely.

INTERVIEWER: And you’re a computer scientist.

SERGEY BRIN: I’m a computer scientist.

INTERVIEWER: Forget that you founder of Google, but you were a PhD student for computer science.

SERGEY BRIN: I haven’t finished my PhD yet, but working on it.

INTERVIEWER: Keep working, we’ll get there.

SERGEY BRIN: Technically on leave of absence.

INTERVIEWER: Right.

SERGEY BRIN: And he told me this, and I’d already started kind of going into the office a little bit, and I was like, you know, he’s right. And it has been just incredible. Just. Well, you guys all obviously follow all the AI technology, but being a computer scientist, it is, you know, the most exciting thing of my life, just technologically.

The Unprecedented Pace of AI Development

INTERVIEWER: And the exponential nature of this, the pace dwarfs anything we’ve seen in our career.
