Always enjoy discussing the big picture with @FryRsquared. We talked about the frontiers of computability, the nature of the mind, and why I’m optimistic that AI will help us understand the universe’s deepest mysteries.
+ this wraps up another season of the award-winning @GoogleDeepMind Podcast - huge congrats to the team!
We’re using AI to work on root node problems – fundamental scientific challenges that unlock societal benefits. 🧪
From fusion and superconductors to entirely new materials, our CEO @DemisHassabis discusses what comes next after #AlphaFold – all on our podcast with @fryrsquared. ↓

Good morning.
Today is the second and final day of in-person voting at the Senate House. If you work in Cambridge or can travel there, it is your chance to make history by helping to choose our next Chancellor in the most democratic process to date. It is quick and easy to do, with a bit of dress-up involved (the University will provide a gown).
Below are some of the individuals who have kindly and thoughtfully offered their public support for my campaign, endorsing the importance of enhancing academic excellence, protecting and promoting academic freedom and free speech, and improving funding for our Collegiate University. My deep thanks to them.
Your voice matters and, whoever you vote for, it is important that you have your say over Cambridge’s future.
Thank you.

Who should decide the rules for Ai?
I got to quiz Google Deepmind's director of public policy - @nicklaslundblad.
youtu.be/eWuumlduTRg?si=LGaD…
Obviously - since this is a Google Deepmind podcast - @nicklaslundblad is presenting one particular view. But I hope you'll see that I've tried to make this conversation as robust, fair and interesting a listen as possible.
Would love to hear what you think

Brand new episode hosted by @FryRsquared with @carolvorders and @PhilNWang tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer!
The pleasure was all mine! Pushmeet is one of my favourite people on earth to interview - and you can see why if you watch our latest here:
It was a pleasure to talk to @FryRsquared about the work we are doing @GoogleDeepMind on leveraging Ai for Science. She has amazing intellectual curiosity and insight, and is passionate about AI and Science.
An extraordinary day. Massive congratulations @demishassabis, John Jumper & the whole team at @GoogleDeepMind on your Nobel Prize.
If you want to hear the full story on this incredible scientific achievement and how significant it will be for our collective future, you can listen to @Googledeepmind podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/0xU…

Our esteemed colleagues @FryRsquared @daraobriain are back this Sat Oct 5th with a brand new series of Curious Cases: answering YOUR questions with the power of science! If you would like to pose a question for our dynamic duo to tackle please send them to [email protected]
I prefer to think of it as a true crime podcast, but about graphs..
11yo and me are loving Series 2 of Uncharted with @FryRSquared bedtime stories for #STEM people the kid calls it. Favourite episode so far Whispers from the Cosmos about Jocelyn Bell Burnell's discovery of pulsars👇bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022s…
