In a bold call to action, Google co-founder Sergey Brin has proclaimed that now is the crucial moment for retired computer scientists to jump back into the fray.

Making waves since his return to Alphabet earlier this year, Brin has been seen actively engaging with groundbreaking projects at Google. This resurgence follows the monumental rise of AI after OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022, shaking up the tech landscape.

During a live interview at the Google IO developer conference, Brin shared his enthusiasm, stating unequivocally, "Honestly, anybody who's a computer scientist should not be retired right now." This message was echoed by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, highlighting the urgency of innovation in the tech world.

Brin, who is now back at Google nearly every day, explained his role in training the company's latest AI models, particularly their new general AI assistant, Gemini. He emphasized the competitive nature of the AI landscape, describing it as a "very unique time in history." But Brin insists his return isn't purely fueled by competition.

"There's just never been a greater, sort of, problem and opportunity — a greater cusp of technology," he remarked, underlining the monumental potential of advancements in AI.

While Google DeepMind has not commented further on Brin's statements, his perspective on technology's trajectory is clear: having witnessed the evolution from Web 1.0 to today, he believes AI represents a transformative wave with far-reaching implications.

Brin is not just focused on the current state of AI; he aims for the future as well, declaring, "We fully intend that Gemini will be the very first AGI." This ambitious goal underscores his commitment to leading the charge in artificial general intelligence.

During his brief hiatus from tech, Brin explored various ventures, from an airship startup to funding Parkinson’s research and dabbling in real estate. But now, he’s convinced that the tech sphere, specifically AI, deserves his full attention again. With Brin back in the game, the possibilities for innovation are endless!
