Brin’s exhortations highlight the urgency to develop artificial general intelligence, or AGI, which is AI that’s as smart as or smarter than humans.
“Competition has accelerated immensely, and the final race to AGI is afoot,” he said in the memo. “I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts.”
Brin added that Gemini staff can boost their coding efficiency by using the company’s own AI technology.
The memo is one of the latest indications of his shift to a more hands-on role. In 2019, Brin and fellow Google cofounder Larry Page stepped down from their daily executive duties at parent company Alphabet.
