“I actually think with the help of AI, that’s what’s going to end up giving us the technology to tackle the climate question,” he said.
During his chat, Hassabis briefly mentioned this week’s rollout of Google’s new Gemini 4 Argon model and the debacle around OpenAI’s claim to have solved the Navier-Stokes equation, one of history’s most difficult mathematical problems.
