Google also paired DeepMind and outside voices across other sessions: Hartmut Neven and James Manyika on quantum and AI, Demis Hassabis on scientific discovery, and Kanishka Rao with Boston Dynamics’ Alberto Rodriguez on embodied AI.
A final creativity panel with director Doug Liman, 30 Ninjas executives and Google’s Mira Lane framed AI as a tool for cinematic storytelling, and Google said all Dialogues are available on YouTube.
