AI is a form of empirical philosophy. I bet that if Plato, Phyrro, Descartes or Wittgenstein were around now, they’d be tinkering with neural networks. With language models, with generative models and with agents.

Exciting news to kick off London Tech week: Londoners can now sign up to experience @wayve_ai autonomous rides on @Uber which are launching soon (pending final regulatory approval). 🇬🇧 Join our interest list today: uber.com/gb/en/autonomous/wa…

We need more thinking like this. We can't leave AI to just the techies. Excerpts from Pope Leo XIV's MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS. Bold emphasis and commentary are mine.

Google I/O TLDR: Good improvements across the whole AI stack. 3.5 Flash (the model): More persistent than before and codes well. No wall yet. Antigravity (the harness): Reliably runs for hours now. Early signs of hands-free self-improvement. Spark (the interface): Finally connects a decent model and harness to your email, calendar and workspace. Instead of just answering questions it can actually do work for you. Skills and schedules and all the other claw goodness. Omni (the future): Closes the gaps between Gemini for text and visual/audio generation variants. This is the way. TPU8i (the hardware): Better chips to make all the above go faster.

AI co-clinician is our new research initiative to help explore how multimodal agents could better support healthcare workers and patients. 🩺 Here’s a snapshot of our progress 🧵

I value platforms that enable thoughtful and substantive conversations. The Jaipur Literature Festival 2026 provided a valuable space for such engagement. It was a privilege to be part of a rich conversation on “Accelerations: Days of Future Past” with Ali Eslami (@arkitus), Distinguished Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, a pioneer of Google Search AI Mode and co-lead of the Gemini Prototyping team, and Marcus du Sautoy (@MarcusduSautoy), Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford and an acclaimed author on mathematics, creativity, and artificial intelligence. The session was thoughtfully moderated by Meru Gokhale (@MeruGokhale), editor, publisher, and cultural curator. We explored how accelerating forces, particularly AI and emerging technologies, are reshaping society, culture, and human agency, and why governance, ethics, and values must keep pace with speed and scale. I appreciate the @JaipurLitFest 's continued role in curating conversations that bring together science, technology, culture, and public purpose.

Only 29 days after Pro: Gemini 3 Flash is just as smart (1477 LMSYS Elo), 4x cheaper, and sooo much faster! ⚡

Disco is a new experiment from @GoogleLabs, designed to reimagine browsing and building for the modern web. The first feature we’re testing is GenTabs — a new way to remix your open tabs into totally custom apps using Gemini 3, our most intelligent model. We’ve all felt the frustration of juggling dozens of open tabs when working on a complex task, like researching a topic or planning a trip. GenTabs proactively understands your complex tasks (through your open tabs and chat history) and creates interactive web applications to help you complete them. Just describe the tool you need and refine it using natural language. And because every generative element ties back to the web, it always links to the original sources.

I have a guest essay in @nytimes today about autonomous vehicle safety. I wrote it because I’m tired of seeing children die. Done right, we can eliminate car crashes as a leading cause of death in the United States @Waymo recently released data covering nearly 100 million driverless miles. I spent weeks analyzing it because the results seemed too good to be true. 91% fewer serious-injury crashes. 92% less pedestrians hit. 96% fewer injury crashes at intersections. The list goes on. 39,000 Americans died in crashes last year. More than homicide, plane crashes, and natural disasters combined. The #2 killer of children and young adults. The #1 cause of spinal cord injury. We’ve accepted this as the price of mobility. We don’t have to. In medicine, when a treatment shows this level of benefit, we stop the trial early. Continuing to give patients the placebo becomes unethical. When an intervention works this clearly, you change what you do. In driving, we’re all the control group. Cities like DC and Boston are blocking deployment. And cities are not the only forces mobilizing to slow this progress. It’s time we stop treating this like a tech moonshot and start treating it like a public health intervention that will save lives. Link to article below. 👀 this video of Waymo cars evading crashes with people and vehicles. I especially note the ones that require it having a 360° view. My sincere thanks to Alex Ellerbeck and @acsifferlin for their wisdom and sure hand in editing this piece.

🪩The one and only @stateofai 2025 is live! 🪩 It’s been a monumental 12 months for AI. Our 8th annual report is the most comprehensive it's ever been, covering what you *need* to know about research, industry, politics, safety and our new usage data. My highlight reel:

Thrilled to announced that at #ICCV2025 we will host the first workshop on 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲-𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 geofreenvs.github.io a.k.a. "3D Computer Vision in the era of Video Models" 😅
