AI Progress and Impact on Ecosystem Players with CapitalG's Jill Chase | AI Basics with Google Cloud

All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of AI Basics. Yes, here at This Week in Startups, we like to do basics because we get asked the same questions over and over and over again. So we catalog them all at thisweekinstartups.com slash basics. We have accounting, we have legal, and now AI. Because let's face it, if you're doing a startup today, you're either using AI to build your startup or your product is going to have an AI bent to it.

If it doesn't do both of those things, well, you're probably missing out on some huge opportunities. We have a great partner for this, Google Cloud. They just published a report, The Future of AI, Perspectives for Startups. It features insights from 23 leading AI experts, including today's guest, Jill Chase. She is a partner at Capital G, which is Alphabet's Independent Growth Fund.

And uh yeah, Jill, you invest in AI. So welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. We could talk about AI models, agents, and we'll get into that, but I want to work backwards here from investment. and your investment thesis.
