Q Sergey, this is a good one for you. Do you think that AGI is gonna be reached by one company and it's game over? Or could you see Google having AGI, OpenAI having AGI, Anthropic having AGI? China having AGI?
A Wow, um, that's a great question. I mean, I guess I would suppose that one company or country or entity will reach AGI first. Now it is a little bit of a, you know, kind of a spectrum. It's not like a completely precise thing, so it's conceivable that there will be more than one roughly in that range at the same time. After that, what happens, I mean, I think it's very hard to foresee, but you could certainly imagine there's going to be multiple entities that come through and In our AI space, you know, we've seen, ah, whatever, when we make a certain kind of advance, like other companies are quick to follow, and vice versa, when other companies make certain advances, it's, you know, it's a kind of a constant leapfrog, so I do think there's an inspiration element that you see, ah, and that would probably encourage more and more entities to cross that threshold.

Q Sergei, we've talked about some very powerful systems, and it's a race. It's a race to develop these systems. Is that why you came back to Google?
A Um, I mean, I, I think as a computer scientist, uh, it's a very unique time in history. Like, uh, honestly, anybody who's a computer scientist, uh, should not be retired right now, should be working on AI. That's what I would just say. I mean, there's just never been a greater sort of problem and opportunity, a greater cusp, uh, of technology. Um, so I don't, I wouldn't say it's because of the race, uh, Although, we fully intend that Gemini will be the very first AGI, clarify that. But, ah, to be immersed in this incredible technological revolution, I mean, it's unlike, you know, I went through sort of the web, one dot O thing, it was very exciting, and whatever, we had mobile, we had this, we had that, but, ah, I think this is scientifically Uh, far more exciting, and I think, uh, I think ultimately the impact on the world's gonna be even greater. And as much as, you know, the web and mobile phones have, uh, had a lot of impact, um, I think AI's gonna be vastly more transformative.
