1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: From Mahard where Innovation, money and power Collie in Silicon Valley, NBN. 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlove. 4 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 4: Live from New York. This is Bloomberg Technology. Coming up. 5 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 5: Will Google be forced to sell off its Chrome browser? 6 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 5: We discussed the latest in the historic Alphabet anti trust 7 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 5: fight here in the United States, plus roadblocks enhances parental 8 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 5: controls following criticism over child protection on its platform. We 9 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 5: sit down with the company's chief safety officer and SpaceX 10 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 5: ready for another starship launch with President elect Donald Trump 11 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 5: set to attend. 12 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 4: At first. 13 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 5: We check in on these markets despite the geopolitical headwinds Russia, Ukraine. 14 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 5: We push higher just about on tenth of a percent, 15 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 5: let's call it on the Nazak, one hundred higher still 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 5: on the Nasdaq. That's two straight days of gains when 17 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 5: you're looking at big tech, and that more broadly is 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 5: as we shake off what have been a big points 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 5: drag on the day, which was Alphabet. Let's just go 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 5: into the intricacies of what's happening with Google at the 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 5: moment in terms of its price point, because we've started 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 5: off the day trading lower, anxiety around the building, anti 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 5: trust crescendo around this particular company, and then maybe we 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 5: push into the green up four tenths of percent. Is 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 5: there a slight relief rally that it's not being forced 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 5: to sell off Android? 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: We get into it now, were Bloomberg's Michael Shepherd in Washington, 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 4: because it's an interesting stock market reaction here. 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 5: Michael Many would say, Look, the clouds of anti trust 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 5: concerns still sit on the valuation of Google, but get 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 5: into what we are learning in terms of the DOJ 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 5: looking to treat an anti trust issue from their perspective. 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: Well, first credit to our colleagues Leonilan and Josh Cisco 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: for breaking the news about what the Justice Department and 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: state anti trust regulators are thinking about asking a judge 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: in the way of remedies in this historic case. This 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: dates to the August ruling in which judge here in 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: Washington found that Google had illegally monopolized the search the 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: market for search globally, and now they are looking for 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: how to make this right for consumers and for website 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: operators around around the world. The one step, of course, 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: being considered is forcing them to sell off Chrome the browser, 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: it's one of the world's most widely used browsers. But 44 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: other measures being considered also include requiring the company to 45 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: license its search results in data, and then also giving 46 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: websites the option of opting out of having their content 47 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: used to help Google build its artificial intelligence platforms. 48 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: Once again, Google Alphabet, the power company of Google, speaks 49 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 5: out saying thesis of radical steps being taken by the 50 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 5: US government and sort of waiting down, putting their thumb 51 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 5: on the scale is how Google has been articulating it. 52 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 5: But more broadly, the intricacies around selling off data, about 53 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 5: sharing data is a tough one. 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: Many in the market. 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 5: Say, look, a, this is going to take years to enforce. 56 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 5: You're going to see an appeals process, but more broadly, 57 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 5: you're also going to potentially see other remedies come into 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 5: like that. Google could action first, perhaps April and August. 59 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 5: What do we think Alphabet's own reaction will be. 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: This will play out of for a long time, And 61 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: I'm glad you've brought that up, Caroline. In terms of 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: the clock here, the judges said a two week hearing 63 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: in April to actually walk through some of the potential 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: remedies that the DOJ and anti trust regulators at the 65 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: state level are offering, and that will give the time 66 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: that we'll give time to the company to think about, Okay, 67 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: what could we offer perhaps as a settlement, what else 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: can we do? What is is maybe a middle ground 69 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: that could satisfy some of the concerns being or raised 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: by government authorities. Likewise, the judge himself is not expected 71 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: to rule until August twenty twenty five, that is almost 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: a year from his original ruling, and then after that 73 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: we'll go through an appeals process, and given the stakes 74 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: for Alphabet in this case, they're likely to take this 75 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: appeal all the way to the US Supreme Court eventually, 76 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: because this. 77 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 5: Would have a major business impact the way in which 78 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 5: they can see who I am when I use Chrome, 79 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 5: which has I think about sixty percent of the market 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 5: from a browser perspective, and then go across to use 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 5: the search function within it that's about ninety percent of 82 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 5: the market and all the data they're in and they 83 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 5: can target me better with ads. This will be a 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 5: big business model change, and ultimately many out there are wondering. 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 4: Who on earth would even buy Chrome if it was forced? 86 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: Well, it's a great question. Again, and who would buy 87 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: Chrome because the price for it would preclude many from 88 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: even to pick it up, and a few buyers out 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: there with the resources to pull it off, perhaps Amazon 90 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: dot Com Inc. Or even Open Ai. An attempt by 91 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: them to purchase this could also raise separate antitrust questions 92 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: that the government may be eager to avoid. Likewise, as 93 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: you pointed out, this is central to Alphabet's business. They 94 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: use that user data, as you pointed out, to target 95 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: advertising and promotions better, and they're also using it, as 96 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 2: I mentioned before, to try to craft a better version 97 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: of this Gemini AI platform that they're developing, and we 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: saw it in their most recent results. They really pointed 99 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: to search as something that is driving this bet on AI, 100 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: and they really would like to keep this going if 101 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: they can. 102 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 5: AI overviews all anyone sees now when they're typing in 103 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 5: for search. 104 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 4: Michael Shepherd, we. 105 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 5: So appreciate the breakdown from Washington for broader tech market 106 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 5: prospective and indeed, well what the legal realities are here. 107 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 5: Sarah Lamb is a senior fellow at the Tech Institute, 108 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 5: and Sarah just put your thumb on the scales here. 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 5: As Google is pushing back on the government for so doing. 110 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 5: Do you think this has any chance of getting through 111 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 5: that something is seismic? 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 4: Is Chrome being sold off would happen? 113 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: I think personally it's unlikely. It was unchallenged conduct in 114 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: the decision. So if you go back and read the 115 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty six page decision from August fifth. 116 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: There is good for us because we know how to talk. 117 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's discussion about the contracts and the pre loading 118 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: of the Google Suite, and a little bit on the 119 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: Chrome browser. But unchallenged conduct was the search bar in 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 3: the Chrome window, and so that wasn't challenged at trial, 121 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: and so you know, there would have to be fact 122 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: finding and a discussion of the browser market. In the 123 00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: April hearing, like the prior speaker said, August twenty two, 124 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: twenty five, is when a decision will come out on remedies. 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 3: And also of note, Google has an opportunity to submit 126 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: their proposed remedies December twentieth, So it really is an 127 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: ongoing process. The last two big cases, Microsoft and AT 128 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 3: and T took nearly a decade to resolve. 129 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 5: And Microsoft appealed successfully at and T less. So, Sarah, 130 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 5: do you therefore think some other changes could be made 131 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 5: to fight the idea that Google is monopoly or monopolistic 132 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 5: in search. What could Google enact here itself. 133 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think at issue are the contracts, so the 134 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: way they contract with Samsung or the other OEM providers, 135 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: that could change. But even so, there's so much dynamism 136 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: in the market. Samsung uploads its own s browser and 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: I read that in the decision. Other Android platforms they 138 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: have their own browsers, and so I think right now 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: the market is so dynamic too with AI search windows 140 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: that you know, the way Google responds will have to 141 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: reflect what's happening in the AI market. 142 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: Let's just talk about AI and the data that maybe 143 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 5: they'd be forced to license in some way. Would that 144 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 5: be positive or negative for the rest of the market, not. 145 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: Just Google, right, I think operationally that would be very 146 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: difficult to work through, so that would also be a 147 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 3: year's long process. I don't know how great lawyers are 148 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: at product design. So to the extent that I mean, 149 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: there is some talk that there might have frand f 150 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,119 Speaker 3: r A and D licensing terms in the proposed remedies, 151 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: and that is something that is familiar in the intellectual 152 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 3: property and standards development world. But to the level of 153 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: data sharing and you know, opening that pipeline of AI 154 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: data that would be a very new type of remedy 155 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 3: that we. 156 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: Can see from the share price that the market isn't 157 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 5: freaking out about this, but there does seem to be 158 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: a cloud over Google for the next few years, maybe 159 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 5: even decade. As you were saying, Sarah, what about an 160 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 5: administration change in twenty twenty five, does that bear any 161 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 5: thought for you? 162 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: Yes. 163 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: What's interesting though, is the first Trump administration brought the suit, 164 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 3: so you have that, although Assistant ag make and del 165 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: Rahim recused himself, so this case has a long history. 166 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: So far, you hear kind of murmurs about the next 167 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: administration wanting to continue activity. 168 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 4: But at the. 169 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: Same time, you know, they seem to be more pro 170 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 3: innovation and technology. So we'll see what whoever is Attorney 171 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 3: General and then assistant Attorney General, at least inside the Beltway. 172 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 3: We're all kind of guessing who it could be, but 173 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: who knows. 174 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, Sarah Alam, Senior Fellow at Tech Institute. We appreciate 175 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 5: the time and analysis. Meanwhile, well, talking of regulatory landscape 176 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 5: in the UK, Google's partnership with Aifomanthropic has actually avoided 177 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 5: further scrutiny after the UK Antitrust watchdog concluded it doesn't 178 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 5: qualify for a full blown investigation under merger rules. The 179 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 5: CMA found that Google has not gained quote material influence 180 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 5: of Anthropic as a result of the deal, which included 181 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 5: a two billion dollar investment and a cloud agreement coming 182 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 5: up scaling safe AI governance. We're going to be joined 183 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 5: by Cudo AI CEO sa Rena Singh on a new 184 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 5: partnership with Microsoft. This simply meg technology. Microsoft wants to 185 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 5: make it easier to switch between large language models with 186 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 5: its new tool as You AI Foundry, which can help 187 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 5: cloud customers build and deploy AI applications, and the company 188 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 5: is giving away the software in the hopes of persuading 189 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 5: corporate customers to. 190 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 4: Buy more of its cloud services. 191 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 5: Greenberg's Diena Bas has more on what is being unveiled 192 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 5: at the annual event in Chicago Ignite Dina and really 193 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: the underlying process here is what what is the blocker here? 194 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 5: People don't feel they can flip from one great model 195 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 5: to another. 196 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 6: The whole product is meant to help make it easier 197 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 6: to get your models programmed up, running, deployed, but one 198 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 6: of the biggest blockers is that, you know, we're seeing 199 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: this constant drumbeat of new models coming out, whether it's 200 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 6: open AI updating their models, and you know, one of 201 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 6: them is good for better for reasoning, one of them 202 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 6: is better for answering questions that are more conversational. And 203 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 6: then there are you know, numerous competitors of Microsoft has, 204 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 6: you know, seventeen hundred and eighteen hundred different models that 205 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 6: are available through this Azure service. And so the issue 206 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 6: is how do you figure out which is the right 207 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 6: one and how do you switch if there's an update 208 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 6: or or you want to try something different. So this 209 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 6: foundry software basically has a bunch of different tools that 210 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 6: allow you to experiment with different models, see which one 211 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 6: works better, switch more easily track what's working and what isn't. So, 212 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: for example, if you want to put your own corporate 213 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 6: data into someone else's model in order to find tune it, 214 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 6: and you want to know is that data really making 215 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 6: a difference, Is it making the answers better or worse? 216 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 6: Things like that are really hard to test right now, 217 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 6: and it's imperative for Microsoft to make this easier in 218 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 6: order to convince people to spend more money on Azure 219 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 6: Services to build and deploy these AI applications. 220 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 5: And they want people to spend more money because they're 221 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 5: having to spend a lot of money invest certainly on 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 5: chips for example, they're building their own. They're also showing 223 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 5: off how in videos new aichips are going to be 224 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 5: working within the systems. 225 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: Can you talk us through their own offering? 226 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 6: Sure? 227 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: So. 228 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 6: A year ago at the same conference, they announced their 229 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 6: first AI chip, and today they've said that it is 230 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 6: now handling customer workloads in the Azure Open AI service. 231 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 6: They also announced two new chips today and one of 232 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 6: them is for security. It's going to go in Microsoft's 233 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 6: own data center servers to better secure them. And one 234 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 6: of them is a data process and unit, which is 235 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 6: basically a networking chip that takes a bunch of the 236 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 6: data crunching off of the other chips in order to 237 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 6: make things faster. So they are now increasingly getting into 238 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 6: a position that Amazon has been Amazon Web Services has 239 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 6: been in for a while of really coming up with 240 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 6: a bunch of their own chips for different types of 241 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 6: tasks and you know, things inside the data center in 242 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 6: order to make sure that Microsoft can do a much 243 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 6: better job of training AI, you know, inferencing, serving applications, 244 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: and a bunch of other things that you would use 245 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 6: Microsoft Cloud for. They obviously still work very closely within Vidia. 246 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 6: It's going to take a very long time, if ever, 247 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 6: for as you're to be able to replace in VideA 248 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: in its data center, even if they're putting some of 249 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 6: the AI traffic onto this Azumaya AI chip. But at 250 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 6: the same time they you know, I spoke to Ronnie 251 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 6: Borcard their kind of chip design and development, and you know, 252 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 6: she made the point that everything needs to be optimized 253 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 6: at every leg in order to get the best possible 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 6: performance because models are growing so rapidly. 255 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 5: Dana bas aholl things Microsoftware, thank you for more on 256 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 5: what's coming out of Microsoft and AI. We have CREDOAI 257 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 5: announcing they are partnering with the tech Gient to power 258 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 5: ENDAI governance for enterprise applications, which will help companies basically 259 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 5: safely adopt these cutting JI solutions, but also ensuring that 260 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 5: compliance is there with global regulations. Navrina sing joins our 261 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 5: CEO of CREDOAI and how much of a blocker is 262 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 5: the cloud around governance of AI? 263 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: Caroline, great to be here today, you know, one of 264 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: the things that we have found that there is a 265 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: massive gap between innovative AI solutions and actually practical business applications, 266 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: and the only way to accelerate that gap and bring 267 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: AI innovations to it is through AI governance. So this 268 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: is where we are very excited to announce our partnership 269 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: today with Microsoft, Azure AI Foundry and Preto AI, as 270 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, is the leading provided a writer of. 271 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,239 Speaker 4: AI governance solutions. 272 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: So I do want to just emphasize the three things 273 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: that this partnership is going to bring to life. One 274 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: is end to end governance of Azure AI apps, including 275 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: generative AI and multimodal systems as well as RAG based 276 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: use cases. Secondly, is this comprehensive unified control that Dina 277 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: was just talking about, which is needed for both THEI developers. 278 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: And governance leaders. 279 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: And lastly, the support for governing especially these cutting edge 280 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: systems that are really getting brought to life each and 281 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: every day like GPT four, GPT four H and smallify models. 282 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: So PREDAI is excited to partner with Microsoft to bring 283 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: all these capabilities at scale through an independent governance layer. 284 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 5: Just talk us through that governance layer, what is the 285 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 5: technology that enables you to be monitoring consistently to ensuring 286 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: that these models are doing what they say they're doing 287 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 5: and doing them well with fair use case and ultimately 288 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 5: no bias. 289 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: For example. 290 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so, Caroline. One of the core things that 291 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: we are finding with accelerating AI transformation and innovation is 292 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: something called this AI alignment. How do you actually ensure 293 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: that you're measuring the help of these AI systems against 294 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: the policies, the principles, the regulations, AI standards that you 295 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: as a company deeply care about. So this is where 296 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: CREATOAI is pioneering solution in policy intelligence makes that really 297 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: easy for your business experts as well as your AI 298 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: experts to align on what that good looks like. 299 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 4: And once you've aligned on what that good. 300 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Like looks like, really measuring your AI systems, your models, 301 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: your data sets against those requirements and then lastly really 302 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: putting that out in a continuous monitoring, risk management, and 303 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: compliance engine so that you can make sure that you're 304 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: always in alignment alignment. And as you can imagine, Caroline, 305 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: this becomes really critical with the AI agents energenic systems 306 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: that have started to take a lot of excitement in 307 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: business organizations. 308 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 5: Microsoft talking a lot about AI agents today in Avrena like. 309 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 5: The real world impact is that we hear that people 310 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: are actually kind of plateauing in their own use employees 311 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 5: use of agents AI general to AI in the workplace 312 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 5: largely because they're worried that they could be deemed lazy 313 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 5: or they don't really understand what the guardrails are from 314 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 5: those that are above them. Is management on top of this, 315 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: you know. 316 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: The reason for the AI platu is because most of 317 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: the organizations, more than seventy percent of them, don't have 318 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: guardrails in place. And this is where predo AI like 319 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 1: solutions become really critical, because we are converting you know, 320 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: governance from a safety ness to really being a launch 321 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: pad from a four AI innovations. So what we are 322 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: finding in the companies that we work with, whether it 323 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: is MasterCard, Regender and you know Booz Allen and others, 324 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: is that when you have the clearly defined guardrails, employees 325 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: actually are much more excited to use these. 326 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: Technologies at scale. 327 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: So with governance, what we are going to see is 328 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: much more excited as well as rampant use of artificial 329 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: intelligence and AI transformation within organizations. 330 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 5: Do you think any of that regulatory outlook, governance, desires, 331 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: and desires is going to change out of the next 332 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 5: administration in the US. 333 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: You know, one of the exciting things is that AI 334 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: is actually central and core to the strategy irrespective of 335 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: the administration. We are ready to actually engage with the 336 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: new administration who is really looking at AI innovation much 337 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: more holistically. 338 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 4: So more to. 339 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: Come on that, but right now, I think there's a 340 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: lot of excitement on how do you actually use AI 341 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: for transforming government as well as AI for making sure 342 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: United States competitiveness in the world continues to stay at forefront. 343 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 5: A finnessing, creative AI CEO on new partnership with Microsoftware. 344 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 4: Appreciate you joining. Thank you. 345 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 5: Let's check in on the shares of super Micro jumping 346 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 5: after the company hired a new auditor filed a plan 347 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 5: to come into compliance with the NASDAT listing requirements. Bloomberg's 348 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 5: Brody Ford joins us small We're up thirty three percent, 349 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 5: but we are still. 350 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 4: Way off of our hives. 351 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 5: From when the market cap was spiraling higher because of 352 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 5: general to AI. Brody talk US through Hybdo for example, 353 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 5: is now willing to work with super Micro computer. 354 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's quite a dramatic episode. Backing up a little bit, 355 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 7: super Micro missed a deadline to file financials back in August. 356 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 7: Then their auditor ey resign saying we're not willing to 357 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 7: be associated with these numbers. This is scary stuff. You 358 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 7: don't see this too often, and so it was up 359 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 7: to the wire here. Super Micro had to find a 360 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 7: new auditor to get them in line with NASDAC rules 361 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 7: to avoid delisting, and on the very last day, yesterday evening, 362 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 7: they found BDO. It was a fairly major auditor. But 363 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 7: it's worth noting they are not one of the Big four. 364 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 7: They're the Big fifth or sixth, depending on who you 365 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 7: listen to. But what matters is they are an auditor 366 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 7: and they're willing to, you know, try to help super 367 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 7: Micro get back into compliance, which buys them a couple 368 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 7: more months before you know, another deadline. 369 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 5: February is likely when the document deadline is going to 370 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 5: be pushed to for this ten K filing. The risk 371 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 5: here is when they're ousted out of the Nasdaq and 372 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 5: therefore liquidity is going to be far more difficult. 373 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: People will be forced to sell their holdings. 374 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 7: Right yeah, February, three months from now and the news 375 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 7: business sounds like forever and the accounting world it is, 376 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 7: you know, very short, because they essentially have to go 377 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 7: back through all of their financials and figure out there 378 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 7: was some issue. Maybe it was around just processes. Maybe 379 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 7: no restatement is needed. Even in that best case scenario, 380 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 7: it's quite tight. Right. Let's say that they were delisted. 381 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 7: What would happen is a significant amount of their shareholders 382 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 7: would are passive, meaning it would be automatic selling. And 383 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 7: it's possible that they would have to repay some of 384 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 7: their bonds early. That's you know, about one point seven 385 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 7: billion or so. Essentially. Super Micro is going to do 386 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 7: everything within its power to avoid that scenario, and its 387 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 7: odds just got a whole lot better after yesterday's news. 388 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 5: Mean, while its still faces a DOJ probe, we understand, lady, 389 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 5: for all across this company. 390 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 4: Thanks, thank you. Welcome back to Bluemote Technology. I'm Caroin 391 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: Hyde in New York. 392 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 5: It's time now for talking tech and first up shares. 393 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 5: A delivery Heroes Middle East unit tell About sold out 394 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 5: min minutes after its subscriptions opened. The IPO value tell 395 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 5: About and up to ten point two billion dollars in 396 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 5: the final price of Talabas offer will be announced on 397 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 5: November the twenty ninth, with shares set to start trading 398 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 5: on December the tenth plus. Apple is offering Indonesia one 399 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars in investment as the company hopes to 400 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 5: persuade the government in lifting a sales band on its 401 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: iPhone sixteen. That's according to sources, the proposal is an 402 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 5: increase of a prior offer of ten million dollars made 403 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 5: last month. Indonesia's Ministry of Industry was not made a 404 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 5: final decision on the revised offer, and Sony is exploring 405 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 5: a takeover of publisher Karakawa, maker of the hit game 406 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 5: elden Ring. According to sources, the two companies have held talks, 407 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: with deliberations still ongoing. The purchase would allow Sony access 408 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 5: to Kadakawa's expansive library of manga, anime, film, and gaming content. 409 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 4: Let's stick with gaming now. 410 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 5: Because roblocks has announced more protections to its platform for 411 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 5: its youngest users, with new parental controls, restrictions on communication 412 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 5: and the content that is accessible, as well as clearer 413 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 5: content labels. This is all after Roblocks's child's safety policies 414 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 5: have come under increasing scrutiny in recent months and following 415 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 5: arrests of alleged child. 416 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 4: Abuses using the service. 417 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 5: Now, Matt Kaufman, who's chief safety officer at Roblocks and 418 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 5: peaces Say, joins us now to discuss these changes and 419 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 5: just go into some of the measures in particular that 420 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 5: you think will make a real differference here. 421 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 8: Sure, First, thank you for having me. We've waunched three things. 422 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 8: The first is new parental controls that make it easier 423 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 8: for parents to monitor and manage their kids accounts even 424 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 8: when they're not sitting next to their kids. We've also 425 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 8: updated how our younger users under thirteen can communicate on 426 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 8: the platform, and finally, we've built in additional protections for 427 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 8: our youngest users. 428 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 5: Let's just talk about ultimately defining and working out who 429 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 5: is thirteen and under. It's a really difficult lift if 430 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 5: people aren't going to be always telling the truth. Are 431 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 5: using technology here or is it really depending on the 432 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: truth of the userbase. 433 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 8: You know, if you're under thirteen and you sign up 434 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 8: for an account online, we actually cannot ask you for 435 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 8: additional information because of privacy reasons. So from a Roadblocks perspective, 436 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 8: we work to make sure that everybody is on the 437 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 8: platform is safe no matter what age they sign up at. 438 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 5: So how therefore are you looking to if you kind 439 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 5: of ask if you cannot get the data and their clarity, 440 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 5: is there a fix? 441 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 4: Is there something you're working on? 442 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 8: Well, so what we do is we take extraordinary steps 443 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 8: to keep everybody safe on the platform. For example, when 444 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 8: you're communicating on roadblocks, we don't encrypt anything. We monitor 445 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 8: all communication and we have an investigation team that's constantly 446 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 8: looking into issues where our system detects that something may 447 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 8: be violative to our process, our policies, and we have 448 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 8: a lot of machine learning and AI systems that are 449 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 8: running to keep everybody safe. And really that's part of 450 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 8: our go ahead. 451 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 5: Well talk through that AI, the machine learning how sopheificated 452 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 5: is it becoming because the subtleties of grooming are so hard. 453 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 4: To pick up on. 454 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 8: That's true, and AI is advancing very fast, and we've 455 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 8: made significant leaps in the technology. For example, our automated 456 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 8: moderation systems for voice communication. Just earlier this year, we 457 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 8: open source some of the models behind that technology and 458 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 8: they're some of the most popular models in open source 459 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 8: today for safety. So we feel that roadblocks is really 460 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 8: at the leading edge of developing AI to keep people 461 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 8: safe on the platform. 462 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 5: Can you give that balance of AI and then the 463 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 5: team that does the deeper investigation. Is it that you 464 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 5: can ever more focus on technology being the fix here? 465 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 4: How big is the team going to remain? 466 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 8: Really everything is almost like a multi layered approach. You 467 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 8: have AI systems that make initial decisions and act very 468 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 8: fast and at super scale. But behind those AIS, you 469 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 8: have a team of professional safety experts that are doing 470 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 8: all sorts of things. They're the ones who are of 471 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 8: course who are training the AI. They're also the ones 472 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 8: that are handling appeals because sometimes the AI doesn't get 473 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 8: things right. So if somebody says, hey, I feel like 474 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 8: it made a mistake, we have our team of professionals 475 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 8: who step in to make decisions, and of course that 476 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 8: trains the AI. And then we also have that team 477 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 8: of professionals handling the most complicated cases. So, for example, 478 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 8: we have a team of investigators who are constantly looking 479 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 8: at the platform trying to understand if there are bad 480 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 8: actors and if there are, immediately removing them from the 481 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 8: platform and working with our law enforcement partners to keep 482 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 8: the platform safe. 483 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, focus in on the bad actor side. You've outlined 484 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 5: how you're going to be protecting the users, the children, 485 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 5: but the people who come on who aren't who they 486 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 5: say they are, who are indeed the predators, what are 487 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 5: you doing to innovate there? 488 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 8: Sure, So let me step back for a minute and say, 489 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 8: you know, roblocks has nearly ninety million users from one 490 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 8: hundred and ninety countries around the world, and these users 491 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 8: are enjoying experiences with their friends and with their families, 492 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 8: and it's a really important part of their life. There's 493 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 8: a very very small number of people in the world 494 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 8: who are just they're bad actors, and so we have 495 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 8: systems that automatically detect behavioral anomalies to determine when something 496 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 8: might be violating our policy, and we try and act 497 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 8: as quickly as we can. That notion of acting as 498 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 8: quickly as we can actually applies to how people upload 499 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 8: content to Roadblocks. First of all, when you're building a 500 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 8: game on Roadblocks, we review every piece of content that's 501 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 8: uploaded to the platform before anybody sees it. And when 502 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 8: you're communicating using text on the platform, we actually block 503 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 8: out and filter a lot of that communication before it 504 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 8: ever transmits. To other people if we find that it 505 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 8: is violated for our. 506 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 5: Policies, So those sorts of changes that you just outline, 507 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 5: are they new and they novel because I mean, very sadly, 508 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 5: as you say, there are very few bad actors and 509 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: a percentage perspective, but raw numbers of at least twenty 510 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 5: four people being arrested since twenty eighteen because of abusing 511 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 5: or abducting victims met through the platform, it's twenty four 512 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 5: too many. As I'm sure you. 513 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 8: Agree, I think anybody obviously who comes to any harm 514 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 8: on roadblocks is one too many. And we take these 515 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 8: situations incredibly seriously, and we do everything we can to 516 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 8: keep the platform safe. It is our number one priority 517 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 8: when it comes to the bad actors on roadblocks. We 518 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 8: are constantly innovating, and we've actually this year alone have 519 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 8: already had thirty major updates to our safety systems. So 520 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 8: the release that we're talking about today and we announced 521 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 8: this week is really about limiting exposure to some of 522 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 8: our youngest audiences to content that's more appropriate to teenagers 523 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 8: when we're talking about the actual, the really bad actors. 524 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 8: We are constantly innovating on that front and constantly updating 525 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 8: our systems. 526 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 5: You talk about safety being your number one priority, and 527 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 5: there have of course been accusations that there was growth 528 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 5: that came first over safety. Do you still feel in 529 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 5: any way that that's the case, or do you ultimately 530 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 5: have to slow down sign ups in some way to 531 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 5: ensure the number one priority is safety. 532 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 8: You know, our number one priority is safety. I mean, 533 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 8: I think that's just our first principle. And if you 534 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 8: think about it from a company perspective, Roadblocks was founded 535 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 8: nearly twenty years ago, where the audience was primarily kids 536 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 8: in the beginning, and really since it's found, protecting the 537 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 8: users on the platform has been our first priority, and 538 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 8: it's good for our business, it's good for growth, it's 539 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 8: obviously good for our users. Everyone at Roadblocks understands that, yes, 540 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 8: sometimes we slow things down to account for safety issues. 541 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 8: For example, when we first start developing new features, we'll 542 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 8: sit down with those feature teams and talk about risks 543 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 8: associated with the feature and make sure we address those 544 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 8: at the very beginning, rather than waiting to tell the 545 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 8: very end and trying to fix something we build safety 546 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 8: in at the beginning. 547 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 5: You're not the only company that, in many ways both 548 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 5: has led a genie out of a bottle here because 549 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 5: of those few bad actors. And I'm interested is ultimately 550 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 5: how the focus shifts from being one where companies are 551 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 5: the ones we turn to to fix this, or how 552 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 5: much the onus is on the parents, on the children, 553 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 5: on the users. Where do you think that balance lies, Matt, I. 554 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 8: Think companies need to take a proactive stance to keeping 555 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 8: their users safe on the platform. Obviously, we want to 556 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 8: provide as many systems and controls and insights to parents 557 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 8: as possible, but from our perspective, we need to make 558 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 8: the assumption that parents aren't always in the room and 559 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 8: aren't always involved, and that's okay. Parents are really busy. 560 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 8: They're spread between their jobs and all kinds of different 561 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 8: things going on, and we need to play a proactive role. 562 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 8: I think when you're talking about like the larger problem 563 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 8: that we face, I think it's almost like it's a 564 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 8: problem across the Internet. And so the other thing that 565 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 8: we think a lot about on roadblocks is how do 566 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 8: we keep people safe on roadblocks? Knowing that our users 567 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 8: also have accounts on other platforms, and they have phone 568 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 8: numbers and cell phones and things like that, and we 569 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 8: do our best to keep people on roadblocks, so we 570 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 8: try and block people from sharing personal identifiable information. We 571 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 8: try and block people from directing users to other platforms 572 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 8: because we know that we can keep roadblocks safe and 573 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 8: we know that we go through great ends to keep 574 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 8: the platform safe, but other platforms don't operate at the 575 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 8: same standards that we do, so it's very important for 576 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 8: us to do what we can to make sure that 577 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 8: people stay safe on roadblocks while they're there. 578 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 5: Web Rocks Chief safety Officer Matt Kaufman, thanks for your 579 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 5: time today on their latest protections being unveiled. Meanwhile, we 580 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 5: shift from particular corporate story over to what's happening in 581 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 5: the broader markets right now. 582 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: We actually want to shine like what's happening in. 583 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 5: Crypto because it is continuing to sustain it's rally. Bitcoin 584 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 5: up to now ninety two thousand. We're off of that 585 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 5: key high reached in the previous week, but we're still 586 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 5: up a percentage point on the day. Micro Strategy extraordinary 587 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 5: run more than four hundred percent higher over the last 588 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 5: year trading. 589 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 4: We're up another six percent. 590 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 5: The company's going to be selling yet more convertible debt 591 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 5: to be able to buy you guessed. 592 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 4: It yet more bitcoin. 593 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 5: They've just added more than fifty six thousand already, they 594 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 5: have more than thirty billion dollars worth on their balance sheet. 595 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 4: We're looking at backed holdings as well. 596 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 5: Interesting story that maybe Trump True Social might well be 597 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 5: purchasing backed of course, a marketplace for crypto coming up 598 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 5: Trump that we have Trump Media currently off by seven 599 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 5: percent on the back of that reporting. 600 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 4: Tech firms, meanwhile, are. 601 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 5: Racing to develop AI powered agents to help improve efficiency 602 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 5: across sales industry, and one of the leaders in the 603 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 5: field is Rocks Company CEO and co founder Shan Mukerje. 604 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 4: It's going to be joining us. This is Bloomberg Technology. 605 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 5: There is a wave of startups and bigger companies that 606 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 5: are focusing in on developing AI powered agents, in particular 607 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 5: for salespeople, all in an effort to more efficiently complete tasks. 608 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 4: With minimal human supervision. One of them is Rocks, who. 609 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 5: Today announces a fifty million dollar raise here with more 610 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 5: Rock CEO and co founder Ishan Mukerji. Ishan, first things first, 611 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 5: before we get to the exact details of the numbers, 612 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 5: is how many companies do you estimate are out there 613 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 5: building agents for enterprize. 614 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 9: There's quite a few have a growing incumbent kind of 615 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 9: market of vendors who are repositioning themselves as the I companies. 616 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 9: And then because of the barriers of entry being lowered, 617 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 9: there is always early stage companies entering the market. 618 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 5: And yet Sequoia picks you, General Catalyst picks you. What 619 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 5: are you offering that's different that Salesforce isn't already plowing 620 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 5: money into Microsoft isn't doing or some of the other 621 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 5: startups that are in the field. 622 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, at Rocks, we're building AI that focuses on accelerating 623 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 9: revenue for the largest enterprises. Caroline, what we're seeing is 624 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 9: every business owner across every vertical is blowing out the 625 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 9: revenue targets for next year. Some of our customers are 626 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 9: doubling the revenue targets when none of them are doubling 627 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 9: the team size. So the interesting thing about sales is 628 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 9: it follows the power law. Ninety percent of the revenue 629 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 9: in a scaled enterprise comes in through your largest enterprise customers, 630 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 9: which is supported by a top fifteen percent of your employees. Okay, 631 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 9: we have to w revenue. You have to get more 632 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 9: out of like the top fifteen percent of the employees. 633 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 5: Okay, so you're saying with your technology, with your AI agents, 634 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 5: you're sort of super powering, augmenting the humans that are 635 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 5: currently being hired. But my question remains sort of why 636 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,479 Speaker 5: wouldn't someone do that through Microsoft? How can you ensure 637 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 5: you continue to build your pipeline of users and indeed, 638 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 5: with a fifty million that you currently raised, be able to. 639 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 4: Tackle that. 640 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 9: To be essential to an enterprise and essentially securing and 641 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 9: growing their customers. Like, the core advantage of AI is 642 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 9: to be able to deeply couple with the data layer. 643 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 9: So at Rocks we build the first enterprise ready AI 644 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 9: agent swarm that's powered by a warehouse native system of record. 645 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 9: So Rocks we've seen amazing kind of early adoption because 646 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 9: of the part of the data that we aggregate that 647 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 9: fuels these agents. 648 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 5: Co founder Shan Muckergee, we appreciate you coming on to 649 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 5: talk about the rays and the company. Meanwhile, Huawei's ambitions 650 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 5: to create more powerful chips, FRAI and smartphones has hit 651 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 5: some madjor snags because of US sanctions. This is the 652 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 5: Chinese firm is designing its next to ascend processors. It's 653 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 5: answered basically to Nvidia's dominant accelerators and so all, according 654 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 5: to sources who say this means that the firm's marquee 655 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 5: chips will be stuck at aging technology until at least 656 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. Meanwhile, let's talk about innovation over it 657 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 5: in video, it's teaming up with Google to pursue another 658 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 5: technology once well relegated the science fiction quantum computing. Bloomberg's 659 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 5: Inking has the details. We were just talking about quantum 660 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 5: computing with a market analyst yesterday, and here we have 661 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 5: a new deal being forged. 662 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: Between in Video and Google. 663 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 5: What are they going to be doing together to progress us? 664 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 10: Well, this is basically in Video saying hey, this is 665 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 10: another use of our technology RAAI chips and systems and software, 666 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 10: and hey look there's a really important company called Google 667 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 10: that you've heard of that's using this to try to 668 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 10: push the whole quantum computing world forward early stages. But 669 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 10: basically Google is going to be using an in video supercomputer. 670 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 5: Okay, in videos supercomputer will then be able to strip 671 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 5: out so called noises. You say, what exactly adds to 672 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 5: the noise? What is it that the innovation we're seeing 673 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 5: right here right now that can cut that down or 674 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 5: indeed understand how it impacts the future of quantum computing. 675 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, we're using the phrase quantum computing and 676 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 10: everybody throws it around, but it doesn't really exist. There 677 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 10: are components, or the early stage components that are attempts 678 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 10: to use quantum mechanics to basically represent information and to 679 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 10: replace standard semiconductors. We're at the really early stages of 680 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 10: that and actually deciding what is information and what is 681 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 10: just random noise generated by the environment. 682 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 4: Is it really difficult? 683 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 10: What in video is saying is hey, use our technology 684 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 10: and you'll be able to develop components more quickly that 685 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 10: can do that by simulating that environment. 686 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 5: So when video wants to ensure that we still think 687 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 5: of it going forward past into quantum computing. 688 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 4: Google meanwhile is in on the app. 689 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 5: Just because of the sheer force of data processing that 690 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 5: will be achieved under this what is currently still in 691 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 5: the bounds of fiction. 692 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. 693 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 10: You said we'll be achieved, and some people would say 694 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 10: that's an inevitable future. Jensen Wang I believe said, you know, 695 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 10: a couple of decades, more than a decade. Others have 696 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 10: said never, So you take your pick. But certainly in 697 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 10: video is definitely covering its bets and again trying to 698 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 10: push forward this idea that hey, we have this incredible 699 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 10: system for accelerating whatever it is you're working on, even 700 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 10: if it's something that will replace what we do, we 701 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 10: can get you there use our stuff. 702 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 5: Or the narrative that builds ahead of their earnings in 703 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 5: little more than twenty four hours time. In King's going 704 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 5: to be all across it. We thank you with the 705 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 5: latest don in video. Later today, SpaceX it slated to launch. 706 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 5: It's got Gamchuan starship rocket once again out of South Texas, 707 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 5: and it's a key test that is expected to include 708 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 5: a guest visit from. 709 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 4: President elect Donald Trump and begs. Lauren Crush joins. 710 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 5: Us right here when New York come luckily enough to 711 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 5: say yes, So what is. 712 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 4: It that they're testing that? Is it going to be 713 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 4: a repeat the. 714 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 5: Chopstick fun incredible viewpoint that the whole internet went well, right, Yeah, 715 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 5: that's stunning booster ketch that everyone was shocked over. 716 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 11: They're going to try and do that again and we're 717 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 11: probably going to see that happen many, many times. The 718 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 11: goal of these tests is to make it so that 719 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 11: is perfect right, and so they're going to see if 720 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 11: they can do it again perfect that booster ketch as 721 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 11: well as launch Starship around the world and then also 722 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 11: bring that back to Earth through the atmosphere and hope 723 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 11: that it survives its fiery plunge. 724 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 4: Just remind us how difficult this is. 725 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 5: Just how much bigger a rocket that it currently is 726 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 5: compared to what's already been tried. 727 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 11: Right, Starship is by far the most powerful, the largest 728 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 11: rocket that humans have ever developed. I mean, it's the 729 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 11: key to what SpaceX was formed for, right, to send 730 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 11: humans to deep space like the Moon and Mars. It's 731 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 11: it's a behemoth of a vehicle and it has, you know, 732 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 11: dozens of engines. 733 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 4: At its base. 734 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 11: So you know the fact that they can do this 735 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 11: alone is a feat. But really they need to get 736 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 11: to a place where they're comfortable with doing this over 737 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 11: and over again. I mean just last week, President Gwnschotwell 738 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 11: said that she anticipates launching Starship up to four hundred 739 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 11: times over the next four years. You know, So this 740 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 11: is this is something that they want to make routine, 741 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 11: four hundred. 742 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 5: Times to do what exactly like this is where the money, 743 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 5: the revenue stream comes in we just sort of phenomenal valuation. 744 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 4: For the company. Part of that is the government contracts 745 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 4: they can win, right. 746 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 11: I mean, essentially Starship is going to replace the vehicles 747 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 11: that they're currently using to launch humans and cargo to orbit. 748 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 4: That won't happen for a while. 749 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 11: But they want to use Starship to send their next 750 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 11: generation Starlink satellites into orbit. For instance, the goal is 751 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 11: to use this as a lander for NASA's Artemis program 752 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 11: to land people on the Moon and then eventually to 753 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 11: send humans to Mars somedays. So it really is going 754 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 11: to be kind of the crux of SpaceX's business plan 755 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 11: moving forward. 756 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 5: On which might well be helped by the fact that, 757 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 5: you know, Musk is so close to the president of 758 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 5: that Trump who might well be there to view. 759 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 4: All of this. 760 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 5: What is the next technological feat that's necessary? Can't even 761 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 5: get in this current capacity to someone. 762 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 4: Light mod so glad you asked. So. 763 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 11: As impressive as these test flights are, there's still quite 764 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 11: a long way to go. So to get to deep 765 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 11: space destinations, for instance, space our starship has to refuel 766 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 11: in orbit, and that's something that's never really been done 767 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 11: at this scale before, so Essentially, what they'll have to 768 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 11: do is launch starships and then launch multiple back to 769 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 11: back starships that will dock in orbit and refuel kind 770 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 11: of like you know, filling up at the gas tank 771 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 11: over and over again, and then once it has enough fuel, 772 00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 11: then they can. 773 00:40:59,160 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 4: Go on to the moon. 774 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 11: But that's still a while away, you know, and. 775 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 4: They still need to perfect this booster catch. 776 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 11: They need to make sure that starship can come back 777 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 11: to Earth in one piece. I mean, they were able 778 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 11: to do that last time, but we still saw some 779 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 11: pieces of it burning away, so you know, it's it's 780 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 11: still a. 781 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 4: Work in progress. 782 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 11: But that's what each of these tests are for, right 783 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 11: It's one step forward into that direction. But yes, it's 784 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 11: going to be some time before anyone is launching on 785 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 11: this vehicle, let alone going to the moon of Mars. 786 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 5: All Eyes around five pm today Eastern Lauren Grush, so 787 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 5: great to have you here. 788 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 4: Thank you. 789 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 5: I Meanwhile, that does it for this edition of BLUEBG 790 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 5: Technology June. In tomorrow, we've got a great interview with 791 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 5: the quillcom Cio Cristiano. 792 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 4: I'm on on all things you guessed it, chips and AI. 793 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 4: This is Blue meg Technology
