That's coming up right after this. Welcome to a special edition of Big Technology Podcast from Davos. I'm Alex Kantrowitz and I'm joined today by a special guest, Demis Asabas, the CEO of Google Deepmind. Demis, welcome back to the show.
Great to be here. A year ago, there were real questions about whether AI progress was tailing off. It was in fashion to ask whether LLMs were going to hit a wall. And those questions seem like they've been settled.
There's been a tremendous amount of progress over the past year. Can you tell us what specifically has happened that's gotten the AI industry from that moment of question last year to the point that it is today? Well I'm I'm for us internally, we were never questioning that. Just to be clear, I think we were we've always been seeing um great improvements. Um, so we were a bit puzzled by by why there was this question in in the air.
