About this episode

Yossi Matias discusses how AI is transforming scientific discovery and research workflows.

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…
