Can AI create a golden age of scientific discovery?

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.
