Ed Ludlow, 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 2: He's off today. This is Bloomberg Technology. Coming up, we 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: will go live to the Manhattan Federal Courthouse where the 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: opening arguments are set to begin for Sam Mcmanfreed's historic 8 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: Ford trial. Will have the latest for us. We'll talk 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: investing in generative AI with a key hedge fund investor. 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: And of course we're going to go live to Alphabet's 11 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: Made by Google event as the company takes on Apple 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: with a new pixel that's well more like an iPhone. 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: But let's go back to the crypto story today. Because 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: it is a historic moment. A jury has been selected. 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: Opening arguments are set to start today for Sam batman 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Fried's trial, where he's accused of orchestrating one of the 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: biggest financial frauds in American history. Joining us now from 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: outside that very courthouse with the latest new Oceanani BASEK 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: and we'll get us up to speed with who's going 20 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: to be listening in on all these oral arguments. 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point. 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 4: We are just getting an idea of what the jury 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 4: will look like. Here you're looking at a nurse, a 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 4: physician assistant, a social worker who is currently unemployed and 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 4: has previously served on a jury before. Who are looking 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: also at, you know, folks who are retired corrections officers, 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 4: other high school graduates. Advertise, you have a mix of 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 4: people here. You have a number of jurors here that 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 4: again have been very heavily questioned here over the last 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: twenty four hours Caroline about whether they have preconceived notions 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: about cryptocurrencies and other parts of Sam Bankman Fried's world, like, 32 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 4: for example, effective altruism. That's another thing that the jury 33 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: had asked to make sure that there weren't going to 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: be negative vibes coming from that jury headed into this 35 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: six week trial with very serious criminal counts being faced 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 4: by Sam Bankman Freed. Now, as I stand outside the courthouse, 37 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: the jury, as we say, has been selected. We know 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: generally who these people are, what they do for a living, 39 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: how they have been questioned. The opening arguments are starting 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 4: imminently as well. We will hear from the prosecution really 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 4: for the first time to lay out their argument, and 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 4: more importantly, we don't know how sam Bankman Freed prepares 43 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 4: to defend himself against these charges and will hear from 44 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: them as well in a series of thirty to forty 45 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: minute remarks from both sides. 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: Of course, thirty one year old pleading not guilty to 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: Watford conspiracy to commit Wildford's securities fraud. The list goes 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 2: on Shanali, it's quite a changed samm Munfried who entered 49 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: that courtroom, much slimmer and change well, certainly from a 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: half perspective, but how do we think his demeanor has changed. 51 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: In a lot of ways. It's to your point, yere 52 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: A lot of people have been talking about the way 53 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: his appearance has changed. He looks noticeably thinner, according to 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal. He has also been dressing a 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 4: lot differently, buying suits from Macy's at a forty percent discount. Remember, 56 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: he was known for that T shirt and shorts and 57 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: even flip flops in front of even world dignitaries in 58 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: the past, but now he has suited up. Indeed, as 59 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 4: he enters court himself, we'll see. We don't know that 60 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: he will necessarily testify. He's not going only expected to 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 4: testify and what tone he would take if he would, 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: but again much more silent. We are not used to 63 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 4: Sam megmin Fried being so silent leading up to these charges. 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 4: You remember just how much he had taken to the 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: media to describe what had happened at FTX, and ever 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: since then it's been nothing but silence. 67 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: And so this will be a telling trial. 68 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: Remember after those opening remarks, which will take about an 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: hour or so here, we will also start to hear 70 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: from witnesses and that will start to get very important 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: as we know that number of his closest friends and 72 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: colleagues over time are expected to testify in this trial. 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: Important for the individuals, important for the industry. Liquidity in 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: the digital asset market's still only half of what it 75 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: was before the FTX collapse. Shanalo Bassak on the ground 76 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: there for us all day. We thank you for it. Meanwhile, 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: coming up, we're going to get the outlook well for 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: what we're all now talking about. If it's not crypto, 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: we're talking about AI investing and discuss why Apple CEO 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: Tim Cook just decided to sell five hundred thousand shares 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: of the iPhone maker. Let's have a look on Apple 82 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: stock of course. In fact, it seems to be timed 83 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: along with the downgrade Key Bank. The analyst over there 84 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: saying it's high valuation, weak sales outlook. The analyst really 85 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: worrying about the stock's valuation is a large premium to 86 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: the naws that they say us sales. They'd like me 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: to struggle will have more ahead, still managing to tread 88 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: water up three ten percent on a day where the 89 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: nasack is up more than a percentage point. This is 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: a BlueBag technology time now for talking tech. First up, 91 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: Apple CEO Tim Cook selling shares of the iPhone maker. 92 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: In his biggest sale and more than two years, Cook 93 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: sold five hundred and eleven thousand shares that's worth about 94 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: forty one million dollars after taxes. It's all according to 95 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: a filing with the SEC. So all comes after Cook 96 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: took a rare pay cut about forty percent to just 97 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: forty nine million for twenty twenty three. Meanwhile, Intel is 98 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: planning to make its ALTERA unit into a standalone business 99 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: and take a public The Programmable Chip Division will become 100 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: an independent entity starting January first. It's all part of 101 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: the CEO pat Girl Singer's efforts to really try and 102 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: ring more value from the semiconductor company. Meanwhile, let's turn 103 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: out at Touch to AI because Masayoshi Son has a 104 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: message for Japan. Adopt artificial intelligence or got left Behind? 105 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: Was a soft bank founder's first public appearance in months 106 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: at SoftBank World. It's an annual event for the tech 107 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: investors domestic corporate clients. Now, the billionaire compared humans with 108 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: that AI to goldfish just in a bowl to process 109 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: information like language. So let's talk more about this AI euphoria, 110 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: AI necessity and how to play it. James fishbacks with us. 111 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: He's the founder and chief investment officer of Zoria Partners. 112 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: It's global macro hedge fund PROJECSORI. Of course you are 113 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: with macro investing over at green Light Capital, and James, 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: wefel with your focus on all the ways in which 115 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: you could get long AI. Is it about smaller companies 116 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: bigger companies? How do you play this. 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: Well, Carolyn, it's a real pleasure to be here. Let 118 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 5: me say that to Marsh's point, my name is Fishback, 119 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: so I am the goldfish in this equation. So I'm 120 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: trying to figure that out. But I think the way 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 5: to look at This is to look at some of 122 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 5: the companies that have the best balance sheets, the best markets, 123 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 5: and existing user workflows and ecosystems, and then monetize off 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 5: of that. At the risk of sounding like Steve Jobs 125 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 5: in January of two thousand and seven when you launched 126 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 5: the iPhone, the types of companies you think you really 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 5: want to look at in this environment are the hyper scalers, 128 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 5: the ones that are providing the cloud computing infrastructure, the 129 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 5: amplifiers of this technology that can then deploy it to 130 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 5: existing users and devices. And the innovators, those who are 131 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 5: either developing or are strategically partnering with those who are developing. 132 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 5: And so, much like Steve Jobs said, these are not 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 5: three separate companies. In many cases, there are actually one company. 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,119 Speaker 5: In several cases, Microsoft is one of them. I believe 135 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: that Google and Amazon are others as well, and so 136 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: it's a unique opportunity to own strong cash flow generative 137 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: businesses that offer embedded optionality to capitalize on the AI boom. 138 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Interesting that it really seems to be being owned by 139 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: the United States at this time, James, when you're thinking 140 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: about what's happening with Microsoft's partnership with something like an 141 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: open Ai. How do you see these sort of frenemies continuing. 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: How do you see the companies striking these We just 143 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: had Amazon of course taking a big stake and partnership 144 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: as well with other key players in the space. How 145 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: does that accelerate? Is that just the way in which 146 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: you want to see deals being done? 147 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 5: That's exactly what you want to see. You want to 148 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 5: see key innovators of this technology, like Anthropic, like open Ai, 149 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: have strategic partners in Amazon and in Microsoft respectively to 150 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 5: then deploy that technology. Look at Microsoft today. Their three 151 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 5: sixty five copilot product is now being opened accessed to 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty million enterprise users who can now 153 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 5: use it to expedite workflows in Microsoft Word, in Excel, 154 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 5: and in PowerPoint. And so you now take users who 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 5: are already used to Microsoft Word, already used to the 156 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 5: existing workflows that they have, and then you're super charging it. 157 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: You know, if I wanted to go to a Fortune 158 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 5: five hundred company and sell them phishback Ai and say 159 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 5: it's the best worst word processor out there, I couldn't 160 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 5: do that because I don't have those kind of relationships. 161 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 5: Microsoft has a moat in this market. They have their relationships, 162 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 5: they have the trust they're going to drive value for 163 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 5: enterprise players and as a result, they can drive pricing 164 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 5: power longer term. 165 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: Do you think then there's a risk any of these 166 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: really big and in many ways companies trying to fight 167 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: the monopoly oligopoly name that keeps being thrown at them. 168 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: Is there only risk they get displaced? I mean, in 169 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: the same time as the dot com boom and bust, 170 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: in the same way that we've seen some business models 171 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: just eroded. Are all of them ahead of the curve 172 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: or any of them at risk of losing their mantle? 173 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. 174 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 5: I think there's reason to be skeptical Caroline by what 175 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: happened in early two thousand with the dot com bubble. 176 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 5: But there's a couple key differences here. One is valuation. 177 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 5: The peak valuation at the dot com bubble was fifty 178 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 5: two times earnings for these average tech stocks. The average 179 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: AI tech stock today at the top of the list 180 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 5: has a pe of around twenty five times. And that 181 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 5: simple comparison is to say nothing about the strong fundamental 182 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 5: position these companies are in. As they said earlier, they 183 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: are free cash flow generative, they have strong balance sheets, 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: They have simple, predictable businesses. They don't need to rely 185 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 5: on debt and equity markets, increasingly a debt market that's 186 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 5: seeing rising interest rates. It seems like every single name 187 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: day now to fund the aggressive R and D behind this. 188 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 5: So I think they're doing all the right things Microsoft 189 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: with open Ai, Amazon with anthropic, Google with deep Mind, 190 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 5: and its own internal operations to then power this forward. 191 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: And the thing that I'm most excited about is these 192 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 5: companies already have billions of existing users and device ecosystems 193 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,479 Speaker 5: that they can deploy this new technology to pretty much overnight. 194 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 5: So you don't have to make a lot of assumptions 195 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 5: here to see how powerful and how impactful this technology 196 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: can be, not just for the end user, but also 197 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 5: for their fundamental share prices. 198 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: And it's allowed the NASDAK to really reapin the rewards 199 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: for this year. But September was really ugly, James, and 200 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: September was ugly because of the macro picture, because of 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: the warrior, what the Federal Reserve is going to do, 202 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: how we tame inflation, a very strong jobs market. How 203 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: do you think these big tech bets can withstand a 204 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: higher for longer scenario. 205 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: That's a great question, and there's no doubt about it. 206 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 5: The macro picture over the past month has been challenging, 207 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 5: to say the least. Look at what's happened to thirty 208 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: year treasury yields in the US and the higher for 209 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 5: longer hawkish narrative coming from the Federal Reserve. I think 210 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: the key thing to note here is that the aiview 211 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 5: is not a multi quarter view. It is a multi 212 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 5: year view, and so if you look at some of 213 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 5: these companies, they have the potential to compound. In the 214 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 5: case of Microsoft, it's compounded at twenty five percent over 215 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: the past decade year over year, and that's despite all 216 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 5: the macro volatility both in the real economy and the 217 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 5: financial system we've seen. Yet at the same time, it's 218 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 5: important to look at what this opportunity presents long term. 219 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 5: I think a key assumption Caroline in this space is 220 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 5: that higher rates is actually negative for this type of 221 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 5: narrative for big tech going higher, and I don't think 222 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 5: that could be further from the truth. And here's why 223 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 5: companies like Apple, who issued thirty year debt at a 224 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: mid two percentage rate back in twenty twenty one, that 225 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 5: have turned out debt in many cases for ten or 226 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 5: fifteen teen years have strong balance sheets, are seeing higher rates, 227 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: but are not actually seeing higher effective interest costs, one 228 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 5: because their liabilities have been fixed. The large issuance in 229 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 5: twenty twenty in twenty twenty one that was of course 230 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 5: aided by quantitative vising at the FED and by their 231 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 5: libit by their assets rather which are actually increasing in value, 232 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: as in the case of Microsoft one hundred billion dollar 233 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 5: balance sheet is compounding in line with Treasury rates at 234 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 5: three to four percent. 235 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: So I would push. 236 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 5: Back against that narrative just a bit and view opportunities 237 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 5: like this as an opportunity to actually get in some 238 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 5: of these positions and develop a longer term view on 239 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 5: where AI is going to be in three to five years. 240 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: Really thoughtful. Thank you for laying that out for us. 241 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 6: James Fishback of Azoria Partners, Well. 242 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: We know that Alphabet's Google is be going head to 243 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: head with Apple in many ways for years when it 244 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: comes to hardware, but really it feels head on right now. 245 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: The new Pixel phones have you seen them? They're kind 246 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 2: of more iPhone like than ever before, particularly when you're 247 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: looking at the price point. Bloomberg's chief correspondent Mark German, 248 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: who has all the insight track around these products announcements, 249 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: give us your thoughts. What did you make of some 250 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 2: of the updates the camera, the way in which they 251 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: look and feel. 252 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think Google is continuing to push 253 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 7: out pretty impressive AI driven products. The new Pixel phones 254 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 7: the Pixel eight Pixel eight pro very impressive new camera, features, 255 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: new G three tensor processors. This is their third generation 256 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 7: custom processor. A few upgrades here that make it a 257 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 7: little bit more like an iPhone. Surprisingly, the facial recognition 258 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 7: on the previous Pixel phones, at least the last couple generations, 259 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: they weren't graded security wise high enough to be processed 260 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 7: for payments using your banking apps. Now they've up the 261 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 7: security on that, as you know, FACESIDD on the iPhone 262 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: since twenty seventeen has had that. 263 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 3: Level of security. 264 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 7: The design of the Pixel phones continued to be some 265 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 7: of the best smartphone designs on the market. It but 266 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 7: the trend continues here, right. Google is pushing out some 267 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 7: really nice hardware, great software integrations, probably some of the 268 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 7: best Android phones you can get globally, but that really 269 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 7: hasn't translated into really strong amounts of market share, right, 270 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 7: So that's the problem Google will continue to grapple with 271 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 7: at least for the foreseeable future, making really good phones 272 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 7: and really good hardware products that are just not selling 273 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 7: as well as their competitors from Samsung and Apple. And 274 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 7: that's what Google now. 275 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: Has to figure out. 276 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 7: They have the right hardware, how do they get them 277 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 7: to sell in those bigger quantities? 278 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: Well point, we think Google has about three percent of 279 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: the smartphone shipments during the second quarter according to Counterpoint Research. 280 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: Great and asks some chief correspondent Mark Gum and we 281 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: thank you as always for running us through well what 282 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: the products like? And he liked it. So let's talk 283 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: a little bit more about what's in this product and 284 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: how they do take on market share. Shanazzach is with 285 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: us judge on product management Full Pixel at Google, fresh 286 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 2: off the stage where you presented, what are these big 287 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: upgrades to the phones? And look, I've been agnostic for years. 288 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: I had Pixels, had iPhones, and I'm interested as to 289 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: whether you like or dislike the idea of becoming more 290 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: like an iPhone. 291 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 8: I wouldn't compare that because I think Pixel are the 292 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 8: best phones or Google, especially bringing the hardware plus the software, 293 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 8: plus the best of AI from Google into people's hands, 294 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 8: and that's how we think about our phones. Of it's 295 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 8: bringing the best of Google in people's hands. 296 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: What about the best of AI? It does seem to 297 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: be something people are now referencing far more within their 298 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: product detail. I mean now it's because finding a consumer 299 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: really understands it. They can touch it, feel it, use it. 300 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 2: When they're using Bard for example, how will that be 301 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: interwoven to make it that much easier product to use? 302 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 8: So when Pixel started seven years ago, even at that time, 303 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 8: AI was a core part for Pixel and we continue 304 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 8: on that line, and as you saw in our announcement, 305 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 8: we have AI or with our supported by ATTENDSLG three 306 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 8: across the phone, including our integration of assistant with Bard 307 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 8: that will be coming soon. 308 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: It's interesting that, of course, you have pushed up the 309 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: price point. What is it? I've owned fifteen pro now 310 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: same as the Pixel eight pro nine hundred and ninety 311 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: nine dollars. Is the consumer ready for that price point? 312 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: I mean, how did you sort of test and feel 313 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: that that was the right amount to be charging. 314 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 8: There's a lot of testing we do. But as you 315 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 8: can see in our phones, you've upgraded the hardware. We 316 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 8: have a completely new camera system. We are also had 317 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 8: a lot of software, and we're also supporting the phones 318 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 8: for a longer period of time for seven years of 319 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 8: OS support security feature jobs. So that's how we think 320 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 8: about our phone. 321 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: But it's interesting, therefore, isn't it that we're going to 322 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: supporting them and for longer so people might not need 323 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: to renew for longer. How do you start to inch 324 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: away at this market share that is Smart pointed out, 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: it's sort of surprisingly low considering the integration of software 326 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: and hardware. 327 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 8: So from Pixel and Google's perspective, we do want people 328 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 8: to use their phone longest, and we see that people 329 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 8: are using their phone longer, right, and so it's part 330 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 8: of sustainability, so it's important for us, and so that 331 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 8: support was natural for us to help our users support 332 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 8: their phones for a longer period of time. 333 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: Overall, when you're thinking as well about some of the 334 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: not just sustainability but security that people want to be seeing, 335 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: you have been up in the ante when it comes 336 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: to facial recognition. Are people going to be frustrated that 337 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: it took so long or what actually goes in too 338 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: needing to ensure that you can qualify for those sorts 339 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: of levels of security. 340 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 8: In terms of the phone, our phones always were secure. 341 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 8: We had our titan Ship and our phone security was 342 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 8: supported for five years, so it's we are upping that 343 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 8: to seven years. And yes, they are one of the 344 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 8: most secure phones out there. 345 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 2: What do you think it will take to get the 346 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: market share higher? Why do you think there has been reticence? 347 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 2: Has it been? And just because people are used to 348 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: the iPhone ecosystem, it's harder to drag them out. Is 349 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: it more that you therefore, folks sort of an international consumer, 350 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: particularly you've made real inroads in Japan for example. 351 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: That's right. 352 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 8: Pixel is the fastest growing smartphone in our markets, and 353 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 8: it's the only phone that grew in units sold your 354 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 8: over years. So we're definitely seen that and we're looking 355 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 8: forward to more of that, and especially with all the 356 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 8: AI features and all the amazing hardware and software, that's 357 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 8: what we're going after. 358 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: How are you thinking internationally about your supply chain as well? 359 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 8: In terms of supply, like you mentioned it, Pixel is 360 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 8: doing very well in our international markets in Japan as well, 361 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 8: and so that is a core focus of how do 362 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 8: we make sure that you know users across the world 363 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 8: in our markets get our phones. 364 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: What about ultimately building the phone because there has I 365 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: think of an Apple that's had to really rethink the 366 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 2: way in which its product is made, where it is made, 367 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: in this global landscape where suddenly China in US just 368 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: aren't getting on in quite the same way, how do 369 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: you think about with sustainability on the one side, also 370 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: supply chain resilience on the other. 371 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 8: So, like you said, sustainability is a big focus for us, 372 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 8: and it's been a years in the making. It's not 373 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 8: something they're doing right now. As we announced on stage, 374 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 8: actually on sustainability. This is the first phone which is 375 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 8: free of plastics. So sustainability where it's made, how it's made, 376 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 8: is a key has been a key focus and is 377 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 8: a key focus for us. 378 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: And a lot of this is also about well the 379 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: entire ecosystem, not just a supply chain, but also of 380 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: what you're offering alongside the air buds, the watch, the 381 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: way in which you can interact across all of the software. 382 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 5: Two. 383 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: I mean, you're someone who's been in Google now for 384 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: seventeen years. I think it is what is it that 385 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: makes you so addicted to continuing to build with this company? 386 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 8: The people, the people I've been at Google for some 387 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 8: I grew up with Google, and I you know, it 388 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 8: might sound cliche, but I do love the people that 389 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 8: I work with. They push you to think well, that 390 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 8: push you to do the right thing, and that's what 391 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 8: I really enjoy about working at Google. The people around us. 392 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: Well, we're thinking about your product todation as Zach, thank 393 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: you very much and Nei for joining us. We've got 394 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: a few more of your people on the show a 395 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 2: bit later, Director of product management for Pixel at Google. 396 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 2: Great to have thank you, thank you for having me. 397 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: Welcome back to BLUEBG Technology. Let's have a little turn 398 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: our attention out to VC Spotlight and bring in Morgan 399 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: bella partner at NFX Capital Management who was also one 400 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: of the founders of Facebook's cryptocurrency project Libra. And remember 401 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: that one she was building one of the first stable coins. 402 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: You've ridden out what has been sort of the highs 403 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: and the lows of how crypto more broadly is seen 404 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: not only by a consumer, Morgan, but also by a 405 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: regulator in the US. I'm interested is we do start 406 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: to see the time of sound backman, freedom court, the 407 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: pain points relived for so many How are you feeling 408 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 2: about the cryptosphere in which you're investing. Is there activity 409 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: going on, particularly in the startup community. 410 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me on. 411 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 9: I have a potentially not popular opinion on this, but 412 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 9: I am so much happier investing in crypto today than 413 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 9: I was twelve months ago, even you know, before the 414 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 9: FTX scandal. And a question that I've asked other crypto 415 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 9: founders is do you think that there's a chance that 416 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 9: we look back on this FTX mess as a positive? 417 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 9: And people looked at me kind of like I had five. 418 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: Heads, But let me explain why. And I think it's 419 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 3: ft It. 420 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 9: Was crazy out there and the laws of gravity were 421 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 9: not thought to apply to crypto, to crypto startups, and 422 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 9: what FTX forced us I people in the crypto industry 423 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 9: to ask ourselves an answer. I think we're three straightforward 424 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 9: questions that we all should have been asking regardless, which 425 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 9: is one, does this company solve a problem for anyone 426 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 9: or this product? 427 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: Two? 428 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 9: Is anyone using this? And three will this make money? 429 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 9: And there were so many companies and there are so 430 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 9: many company needs that were funded that are funded that 431 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 9: don't answer one of those three questions, let alone three 432 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 9: of those three questions, So the party that was. 433 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: Going on had to come to an end. 434 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 9: The FTX way of it coming to an end was 435 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 9: the most dramatic way that that could have happened. But 436 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 9: I really do think that there's a chance that it 437 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 9: ends up being a gift for the crypto startup world, 438 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 9: for the companies that are solving real problems, which I 439 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 9: know is not a popular opinion, but I do believe. 440 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 2: That we won't contra INDs Mogan, and I'm interested in 441 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: even if this happens to be a cathartic moment for crypto. 442 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: More broadly, all the builders building here in the US, 443 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: all the problems being solved are is the money being made, 444 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: all people using some of the dots and some of 445 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: the applications. 446 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: Here in the US. 447 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 2: You're having to go to a broad for those of founders. 448 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 9: So yes, and we are definitely still seeing companies built 449 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 9: in the US. I think what you saw pre FTX 450 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 9: was everyone and their brother and sister was starting a 451 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 9: crypto company because it was the gold rush. What has 452 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 9: been filtered out now is people that are starting crypto 453 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 9: companies are only starting crypto companies because they actually see 454 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 9: a problem to solve and actually have a passion for 455 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 9: the industry versus they just see a casino that looks fun. 456 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 9: So I think that there's a filter now in a 457 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 9: good way for who's actually starting companies. And then, yes, 458 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 9: people are using crypto applications, but if we're all being honest, like, 459 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 9: the only application that's really achieved any kind of product 460 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 9: market fit as far as scale is Bitcoin, ethereum and 461 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 9: stable coins. When you're seeing development in the US, it's interesting. 462 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: We do understand, in fact, the trial for some of 463 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: Manfred is underway, and we're understand the opening statements being 464 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: made by Murfree and current the expressionists. We understand as 465 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: the government continued with their opening remarks saying that the 466 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: defendant wanted money he didn't have and he committed food. 467 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: But Morgan, let's move away from that for a moment 468 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: to the regioustry environment with which we're in, because you 469 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 2: do have an sec chair chat who seems adam and 470 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 2: to police. Whether it's after these companies are built or 471 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: as they're being built, and I'm interested as to whether 472 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: that's really an environment people want to find product market fit. 473 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: In the moment, I think it's. 474 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 9: An environment that people want to find product market fit 475 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 9: in if there is like a market and a business 476 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 9: to be built. But it's definitely a thorn for sure. 477 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 9: And I think an issue is there are very few 478 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 9: topics that rally both sides and that gain you favor 479 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 9: on both sides.

They exploded during the pandemic in terms of 520 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: they got a lot bigger, and now they're watching their 521 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 2: fortunes disappear. The group includes the founders of say, Turkeys 522 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: Get here and Silicon Valley's Instagraart Door Dash, while they've 523 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 2: now collectively lost fifteen billion dollars more than in terms 524 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: of overall market valuation. Coming up, let's talk about healthcare tech. 525 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 2: The startups Commya and athle ethelas they're merging to drive 526 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: value for doctors and patients using the power of AI. 527 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: Conversation with Tanay Tandon, CEO of Comya as he brings 528 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: those two companies together under his leadership.

Now sources say the government 536 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 2: is on track to announce Palenteer as the winning bidder 537 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 2: as soon as this month. Now, from one Tolkien inspired 538 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: name to another, in the world of healthcare, two healthcare 539 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: startups are forging a new path using artificial intelligence to 540 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: become a health operating system data platform Commere and athel Us, 541 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 2: which is also from Middle Earth, which builds remote patient 542 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: monitoring technology, will complete a merger by the end of 543 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 2: the month. Joining us now is Tonay Tan and CEO 544 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: of Comure, who was of course leading Athelus. And I'll 545 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: ask you with the ny Tolkien is such like big 546 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: part in all these naming of these companies. But today, 547 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: ultimately you're trying to use AI to make healthcare more 548 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: well efficient in the same way that Palenteer might do 549 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: with the NHS. 550 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 3: Correct, that's right. 551 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 10: And first of all, I'm impressed you've got the Lord 552 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 10: of the Rings reference. Most people don't, But that's exactly right. 553 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 10: We're taking one of the biggest pain points in healthcare, 554 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 10: which is a disparate set of data sources across hundreds 555 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 10: of different systems, in tons of manual work the doctors 556 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 10: and administrators do every day and supercharge that with large 557 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 10: language models to automate workflows and grow doctor's revenue and 558 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 10: health system revenue. 559 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: What everyone is course is slightly concerned about with Panenteer 560 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: in the NHS is data and data sharing and the knowledge. 561 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: How are you making sure that from the get go 562 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: the users ultimately the end of this feel very secure 563 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: about the security of their data. 564 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 10: I think that's a non negotiable when you look at healthcare, 565 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 10: it companies, software businesses, it really comes down to making 566 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 10: that appe zero in terms of how you design your 567 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 10: systems and working forward from there to really help at 568 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 10: the end of the day to drive value or drive 569 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 10: value for doctors and clinicians well at the same time 570 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 10: protecting patient information and the companies. 571 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: That go on. 572 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: I know I was just going to say driving value. Well, 573 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: clearly the business that is bringing you together and some 574 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: of your VC backers think that you're going to have 575 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: a lot of value and ultimately together you've got a 576 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 2: combined valuation of about six billion dollars. And tell me 577 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: about the revenue streams. Therefore, today, how are you going 578 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: to be building and making sure that you can win 579 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: business in a profitable manner. 580 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 10: Definitely, I think the exciting thing about healthcare is it's 581 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 10: twenty percent of US GDP. Fellas already processes hundreds of 582 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 10: millions of dollars worth of claims, communore deals with billions 583 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 10: of dollars worth of appointments every single year. And this 584 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 10: is just a small percentage of the total dollars that 585 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 10: flow through the healthcare system. And the exciting thing here 586 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 10: is that we can use software at the end of 587 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 10: the day automate these workflows and drive up profit margin 588 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 10: for health systems and end of day, take a small 589 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 10: cut of that to grow the profitability of our own business. 590 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: How did this merger come about? Was it all to 591 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: do with General Catalyst? Of course, it was backing both 592 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: of you. 593 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 10: I think this merger has been a long time coming. 594 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 10: I've known him Mont Teenager, the managing director at General 595 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 10: Cadalists for seven years now. You've known me since before 596 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 10: I dropped out of school. To founder Fellas and the 597 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 10: end of day is a marriage made in heaven. These 598 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 10: two companies serve similar customers, have similar end goals. One 599 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 10: has a data platform that saves time, the other bills 600 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 10: larger language models and revenue cycle software. You put them 601 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 10: together and you get magic and. 602 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: Talk about those larger language models that are going to 603 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: sort of be part of the magic. There's a lot 604 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: of hand ringing around AI, around ultimately how it disrupts, 605 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 2: how it boosts productivity, but also how you regulate it. 606 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: How are you managing to weave llms and actually make 607 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: it really integral to your business. Solve here. 608 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 10: I think there's a lot of noise in the LM space, 609 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 10: but there's also a ton of signal. The first time 610 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 10: one of our doctors do describe which is an automated 611 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 10: workflow for transcribing information and generating CPT codes, their jaw 612 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 10: drop and it saved them a couple hours that single 613 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,479 Speaker 10: day in documentation. And so for us, language models are 614 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 10: a tool to accomplish an end goal rather than the 615 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 10: goal itself. And I think businesses that use them as 616 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 10: a powerful software automation tool will continue to grow and 617 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 10: will continue to serve their customers in a very unique 618 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 10: and honestly novel way. 619 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: Go in there on the unique novel because there have 620 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: been a fair few startups looking at tackling healthcare, making 621 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 2: it more efficient and more easy to use with the 622 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: power of AI, and we're just hearing how Palent is 623 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: going to be sort of taking on the NHS. What 624 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: makes you different? 625 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 10: I think the exciting thing here is GC's health assurance ecosystem. 626 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 10: We have HCA Healthcare, which is the largest hospital operator 627 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 10: in the country on our board in one of our 628 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 10: largest customers. We have thousands of small businesses in terms 629 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 10: of small practices like private doctors, a solo practice, ten 630 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 10: provider clinics also on the platform. And so the breadth 631 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 10: of appointments to sure volume of notes that we're processing 632 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 10: every day, I think is what makes us very unique. 633 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 10: And the partnership, the deep partnership with Legacy Healthcare. We're 634 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 10: not trying to disrupt anyone, We're just trying to empower them. 635 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: And then what of your post merger being, where do 636 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: you take this? Are you going to have to cut 637 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: down on people ultimately? How are you going to ensure 638 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: that your margin focused revenue boosting in a time where 639 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: that's exactly what vcs want to see. 640 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 10: The mandate years to grow were a company that thankfully 641 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 10: both companies five plus years of runway independently on track 642 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 10: to go public as individual companies. Bring them together only 643 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 10: accelerates that path, and I think we're going to be 644 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 10: one of the biggest hirers in the next year in 645 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 10: healthcare and software, and so hopefully a home for many 646 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 10: of the folks that did get laid off in the 647 00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 10: last year or. 648 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: Two you were busy raising money and when you were 649 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 2: leading a fellas and I'm looking at what Sequoia General 650 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: catalysts mentioned why comminies have also in Vidia, and I'm 651 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: interested about how at the moment where there is such 652 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: fierce competition for compute, for chips, for access to be 653 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: able to build these large language models, how much has 654 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: that to hang up for you. 655 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 10: This is a defining moment in computing. I think what 656 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 10: Nvidia is unlocked is a new kind of magic in 657 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 10: terms of software and automations, and end of day, they're 658 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 10: going to make a lot of money on it, but 659 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 10: so are a lot of other great companies, and they're 660 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 10: going to build a lot of great products. And my 661 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 10: goal is the CEO of Comnore, is to leverage the 662 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 10: power of GPUs to train these models to do things 663 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 10: that just weren't possible before. 664 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: And so they'll bill. 665 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 10: Be a fiber GPUs in the coming years. But ultimately 666 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 10: I think everyone. 667 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 3: Will get their share. 668 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: Today great spending some time with you today tenancy of Comueur, 669 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 2: and it wasn't me who knew the Tolkien stuff. It 670 00:33:53,080 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: was my producer Marguerite to shout out to her. Let's 671 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 2: get back to Google's announcements today. It's not all about 672 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,479 Speaker 2: the pixel lineup, because a Silicon Valley company also wants 673 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 2: to compete with Apple and many more health trackers for example, 674 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 2: and watches with the pixel Watch too, which includes faster 675 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 2: Qualcom chip. It's also lighter. Let's bringing James part Fitbit, 676 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 2: vice president, general manager at Google, has just been presenting 677 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: the new watch. And how are you setting yourselves apart? 678 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: What is the offering that you have different from some 679 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: of the other things that are on the market right now. 680 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: James, A great question. You know. One of the key 681 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: things that we wanted to do is improve upon the 682 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: great things that we did in the first generation pixel Watch. So, 683 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: as you pointed out, we introduced a new processor which 684 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: makes the performance a lot smoother and snappier, and it's 685 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: very noticeable for our users. We've also dramatically improved the 686 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: battery life as well. With the always on display on 687 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: you still get twenty four hours of battery life, and 688 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 1: we're also offering much faster charging time for our users 689 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: as well. And along with that, you know, one of 690 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: the most important aspects of the Google pixel Watch too 691 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: are it's safety and health features. So we offer this 692 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: feature called safety Check. You just check in, and if 693 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: you don't check in at their a certain period of time, 694 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: your location will be automatically shared with your emergency contact, 695 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: so it gives you that peace of mind. And then 696 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: we've introduced three new health sensors, including skin temperature, dramatically 697 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: improved heart rate with forty percent more accuracy, and a 698 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: new sensor called body response to help you manage your stress. 699 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of improvements packed in this next 700 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: generation of the pixel Watch that we're really excited about. 701 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 2: Who's your typical buyer right now? I, as a parent, 702 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 2: immediately am starting to look at the world of smart 703 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 2: watches as a way to ensure my children is safe. 704 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: But who is generally the purchaser and wearer of this. 705 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: I think it's really anyone and everyone who's interested in 706 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: just improving their overall fitness levels and also interested in 707 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: having a great companion to their phone as well. So 708 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: the pixel Watch two not only combines helpfulness features like 709 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,479 Speaker 1: Google Maps, and wallet, but a lot of great health 710 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 1: and fitness features as well. 711 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 2: Can you push us forward? I know it's frustrating on 712 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: a day where you're just announcing the second version, but 713 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: what does health and health wearables look like in the 714 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 2: next few years. Many have been hoping for blood glucose monitoring. 715 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: Many are now looking at well AI and the way 716 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 2: in which you're going to have an AI wearable. How 717 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: are you trying to be ahead of the curve at Google. 718 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: So you can see from the leap from the Google 719 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: pixel Watch one to Google pixel Watch two that there's 720 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: always a continuous spectrum of improvements that we're making, from 721 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: general purpose helpfulness to health and safety features. And what 722 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: I imagine for the future is that these devices, whether 723 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: they're trackers or smart watch, are going to be very 724 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: essential component of people's lives. It should be something that 725 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to leave home without one because you 726 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: know they can massively improve your life or they can 727 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: even help save your life in the future. For instance, 728 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: our watches have an algorithm that help detect irregular heart 729 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: events like aphib which can massively increase the risk of strokes. 730 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: So all of these things I think really bring a 731 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: lot of helpfulness and utility to people who wear them. 732 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 2: What are some of the biggest blockers to the next iteration, 733 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 2: to the next vision of where you see healthcare going 734 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: from a wearable. 735 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't see them really as blockers, but I see 736 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: them as opportunities for me. That things that are really 737 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: exciting for me are introducing technologies that we're only available 738 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: in a hospital grade setting or medical grade devices and 739 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: bringing them that capability and that helpfulness to as many 740 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: people as possible. And that requires breakthroughs in power management 741 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,479 Speaker 1: that are processors, improve sensors that can actually fit within 742 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: the confines of a smart watch. So to me, those 743 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: are really exciting opportunities of research. And I think you know, 744 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: we hinted at this in our announcement today. The application 745 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: and the use of AI and healthcare is going to 746 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: be an exciting new frontier where AI can really find 747 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: connections and correlations and your health data that were just 748 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 1: very difficult to spot before and give you personalized insights 749 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: and guidance and coaching. 750 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: James park Fitbit, vice President, general manager at Google, fresh 751 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 2: off the stage, We thank you for it.
