1 prediction · 5 assertions · 2 opinions · 2 insights · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 6 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 2 are resolved, and 4 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

What the tape says about how Greg argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported
Mulholland: China pushes LFP batteries while US relies on high-risk cobalt chemistries
“In China, there's a big push for lithium iron phosphate. In the U.S., we have, you know, sort of standard lithium ion batteries that have a lot of nickel, manganese, and cobalt in the materials, and those things are hard to source, and rising in cost, and some…”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Greg Mulholland on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Mulholland: Room-temperature superconductors will require new physics
“My prediction is that it will require at least a variant on known physics, if not entirely new physics, to make happen, just because that's sort of the nature of those massive breakthroughs, especially, I mean, room temperature superconductor is, A guaranteed …”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 28:56 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Opinion
Mulholland: Energy transition will fail without accelerated materials innovation
“Candidly, I don't think we get there by a long shot. Even with new materials, it's a heavy lift because there are those cultural and cost and systemic issues we need to overcome.”

Assertion Supported

Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 7:39 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Mulholland: High lab experiment costs prevent large data volumes in materials
“One of the things that we don't have in the materials industry is huge volumes of data because everything costs money, right? You know, there is no free experiment.”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 11:08 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Insight
Mulholland: Scientific AI gains most value from unpublished negative experiment results
“Unfortunately, from a scientific standpoint, the most valuable thing to AI is the two examples. But you know that those scientists did not just do two experiments. You know that those scientists did months and months and months of work and refinement and faile…”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 14:03 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Insight
Optimal battery performance requires co-optimizing cathode, anode, and electrolyte
“There is no best cathode. There is no best anode. There is no best electrolyte. You need to build the system that they are all compatible with each other to make the best battery.”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 22:19 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Opinion
Mulholland: Materials industry lags pharma by 5-7 years in tech adoption
“It also means that the chemicals and materials industry tends to be maybe five or seven years behind the pharmaceutical industry and its adoption of new technologies.”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 24:51 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Assertion Supported
Mulholland: Citrine founders used AI to invent new thermoelectric materials
“We actually invented a new class of thermoelectric materials using sort of some combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence, depending on how you define these things.”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 2:07 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Mulholland: Truly new materials typically take 5 to 10 years to develop
“Typically new materials, like truly new materials are developed in sort of the five to 10 year time, time scale. And then they take a long time to roll out because you have to prove that they work and work for long periods of time. And then individual refineme…”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 10:41 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Disclosure
Mulholland: Citrine projects often start with 25 to 100 data points
“So very often, a citrine materials development project starts with 25 or 50, maybe a hundred data points.”
Greg Mulholland Jan 23, 2024 ▶ 17:00 How AI is rapidly advancing new materials for clean energy
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Battery maker used Citrine's AI to develop fire-quenching gel in weeks
“They brought their data in, and it was just a couple weeks later, they had a perfectly functioning quenching gel in their product that they would not have been able to find otherwise. It would have been a many, many months long overall project.”
