The Deep View: Conversations

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Yossi Matias, head of Google Research, to explore how AI is transforming the way science gets done.

Rather than replacing scientists, Google is building AI systems designed to amplify human ingenuity. From searching millions of research papers to generating new hypotheses and accelerating experiments, these tools aim to help researchers move from ideas to discoveries faster than ever before.

Yossi explains why he believes we're entering a new era where AI can democratize scientific research, empower the next generation of scientists, and dramatically shorten the path from breakthrough to real-world impact.

Topics covered include:
How Gemini for Science is changing research workflows
What AI Co-Scientist, AlphaEvolve, and the Empirical Research Assistant actually do
Why the scientific method is becoming even more important in the AI era
How Google is partnering with universities including Stanford and Imperial College
Why AI could give every researcher a "virtual lab" in their pocket
What a golden age of scientific discovery might look like

If you're interested in AI, scientific discovery, biotechnology, or the future of innovation, this conversation offers a look at how one of the world's leading AI research organizations sees the next decade unfolding.

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel joins The Deep View Conversations to discuss SPECS, Snap's long-awaited augmented reality glasses and why he believes they represent a new era of computing.

Senior reporter Sabrina Ortiz interviewed Evan at Augmented World Expo immediately after the SPECS unveiling and Spiegel explained why Snap spent more than a decade building toward this moment, how SPECS differ from AI smart glasses and mixed reality headsets, and why he sees AR glasses as the future beyond smartphones.

Other topics covered include:
Why Snap calls SPECS a "computer" instead of AI glasses
How SPECS combine wearability with advanced spatial computing
The role AI played in making consumer AR glasses viable
Why shared experiences could become AR's killer app
The challenge of competing with Apple, Meta, and other tech giants
Snap's 12-year investment in augmented reality hardware and software
The importance of developers in building the AR ecosystem
Why Spiegel believes people are ready for an alternative to smartphones
How AR glasses could make computing more human

Spiegel argues that after nearly two decades of smartphone dominance, consumers are increasingly looking for a more natural way to interact with technology. Snap's bet is that augmented reality glasses can bring computing into the world around us instead of pulling us away from it.
