WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.477
And it has to be culturally specific.
If you just take war, the German way of

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:06.837
fighting was different than the French
way, which is different than British way.

00:00:06.920 --> 00:00:07.957
Which is different. And you see that

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.197
nowadays. But

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:15.237
the the the There there are technologies

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.037
that are linear. This is not a linear

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.717
technology situation. And if you take a,

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.037
you know, and and so it's
just crucial that everybody

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.957
has a private space where you're like,
is this working? Why is it working?

00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:34.677
What's not working? And then in every
country you have part of the stack you

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:38.437
can realistically power. I mean, China's
a little different. I mean, I think that

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.557
part will be mostly powered by Chinese

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.277
companies. But every other country
will have to make a decision

00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:50.717
of what part of the stack will be powered
by American companies, what part of the

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.837
stack will be powered by indigenous
companies, local companies. Who are

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.437
those local companies?
Who are the experts?

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.117
Um And that expertise

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.317
is very very rare.

00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.317
Um and it it this is also one of the

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.037
weird things about this industry is um
there's so many things you It's like

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.957
your industry. Like you're a master
in your finance industry. There's so many

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.677
things you know about finance

00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.877
that it would be hard to replicate. Like

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:22.677
say we switch positions. I I am certain

00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.157
I would It's like And that kind of

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:28.357
knowledge is um just really important to

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:32.477
make sure you have a sovereign ownership
up in your country. And if we can help,

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.677
we will. But ultimately, you'll
probably have to do it yourself.

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.117
>> So Can you help us understand the

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.277
intersection between Palantir

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:43.797
and the AI frontier models? And how how

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:46.077
does that work? Like how do you bring it

00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:48.757
together? How should they understand

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.837
sort of cuz they're trying to understand
the ecosystems of the AI world. And

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.597
that's one of the discussions today.

00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.717
Like what's that ecosystem?
So maybe you could sort of lay that out.

00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:03.317
>> terms, there you have compute,
so I think Jensen was here.

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.517
>> Yeah. >> World's expert,
talk to Jensen. Um

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:11.437
and then you have basically then
the caricature of it is you would have

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.317
frontier models and it real in real in

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.197
reality you're going to have frontier
and non-frontier models and non-frontier

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.277
open models that you can make
frontier-like in specific use cases. Um

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.757
and and so, what you're
trying to do, let's

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.717
say you're trying to solve a problem,
like how do I optimize the supply chain

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.157
of my country in a way where I know
every single dependency on a country I

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.637
may not trust. Okay, that's a that's
literally an issue every single every

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:42.757
single person in this room has. Um and

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.037
and or may not trust tomorrow or if if

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.157
this part left, what would be
the replacement? Replacing the parts are

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.677
very difficult because a part isn't
a part. Part made by this company is

00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:55.837
different than even if the same spec.

00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:59.357
Every single every single manufacturing
company in the world has this. Um and

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:02.557
how do I do it while while not exporting

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:05.397
my way of manufacturing um

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:09.757
to another country. Let's just say I
am a French company, I have a way of

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.637
building a nuclear reactor. I'm pretty
interested in nuclear reactors are very

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:17.637
complicated. I need to know every single
part of my supply chain that is not

00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:21.877
French or not European and I also need
to know if I had how would I have to

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.917
rebuild the supply chain if I had to buy
a part from someone else and what would

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.997
be the cost. These are So, that's a no
business every business in the world has

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.437
this problem. Okay, so um you

00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.197
if you want to make a frontier model
be able to work on that problem both

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.077
passively, meaning you know the answer
when you ask the question, actively,

00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:42.397
meaning you know the answer when you
ask question, but also passively. You get

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:46.957
You guys get in a fight and you're
like, I mean, you're tough guy.

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:50.397
So, that's just and you're like, okay,
we got to we got to rebuild the supply

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:52.957
chain. Okay, um

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:55.837
how do you get pre-

00:03:55.920 --> 00:03:58.077
these models without an application

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:00.757
layer? Well, A give you an answer, but

00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.997
that answer even in the the active state

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.677
is not 100% accurate. It is a estimation

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.037
of the answer and it also degrades over
time. So, first problem is how do you

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.597
make sure that answer is correct and you
can decomp it. So, how do you take apart

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.037
the question so you can see every single
assumption in the question in the answer

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.997
so that if you're a country leader
and you have to decide that that that what

00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:27.917
you did in order to do that you will
need an application layer. You will also

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.477
need an application layer, which is what
we provide. I'm not just but you'll need

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.117
to you you someone will have to provide.

00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:35.957
You also need to make sure that your way

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.557
of building the supply chain is not

00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:41.317
being migrated to a large lab to a lab

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:44.317
model company because that's why you

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:47.397
have a company. So, okay, in reality

00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:52.277
what you're going to do is you're going
to bring someone in who understands what

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.197
part of the data has to be captured
in this model. And to do that you're going

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:00.037
to have to train either
post train a closed model

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.117
or as likely currently you're going to

00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:07.797
train a an open model on the precise

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:11.117
questions you need to ask and answer
to and you're going to do it in a closed

00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:15.117
environment. And that's how you're going
to solve this problem because otherwise

00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:18.877
you are you have to worry
about let's just say

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.837
you tell me cross country skiing is evil
and I pull your problem. None of these

00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.237
things actually happen in practice.
And so, where what does that mean for you?

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:29.037
It means you need someone who
understands the strengths and weaknesses

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.557
of every model.
Uh also the legal vulnerabilities that

00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:36.077
you're putting yourself into by using
certain models. You need someone who

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.117
technically understands the interplay
between your proprietary data and a

00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:44.117
model as it exists and a model as you
can train it and can also set up an

00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:47.837
architecture that will allow you
to bring in more expensive and cheaper

00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.837
models, but also more secure
and less secure models because

00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.437
there are also then you may not care if

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:55.597
a model from America that you don't

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.557
trust is running on your ad campaign in

00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:00.757
Argentina, which is your biggest market.

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:02.917
You will care if it's running on how you

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.637
actually make your nuclear reactor work.

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.637
And so that part of the stack, we are
the application layer north, we will put

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.117
our an application and south to some
extent the integration layer, we will

00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:18.517
put our our ontology in the middle and
allow you to train these models so that

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.037
you can control them
and there's no exfiltration.

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.037
But whether you used our product or not,
you will need this to make these things

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.757
A work and make them secure. And and if

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:32.157
you and one of like just to my biggest

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.917
criticism of regulation
outside of America is

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.677
please get technical experts to do it.

00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:43.237
Like currently the regulation is meaning
it's a meaning the application of it is

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:46.917
you have companies that are essentially
there to deploy large language models.

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.357
Those companies are exfiltrating, not

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:53.997
intentionally, your alpha to the
company that provides the model.

00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:58.917
It is like the opposite of what you're
trying to It is literally the opposite

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.597
of what you're trying to do.
And if this is not sovereignty, this is

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.077
anti-sovereignty. And whoever's telling
you this is works needs to be fired

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.837
because they are hurting your country.

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.717
They're not hurting me, but this is
literally the way to export every one of

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.117
your secrets to some other company.
And it's only because the people doing the

00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:21.397
regulation don't actually understand
the technical material. And this is very

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.157
hard. Every country has this problem.

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.197
Like how you know, I think you've been

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:28.037
very effective in kind of tweaking at

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.317
the edges when people have gotten out of

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:35.317
control and and in a way
that you know was very effective.

00:07:35.400 --> 00:07:39.237
Uh and um but we have
the problem like who's going

00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:43.037
to monitor the development of AI? It's
a very hard problem because you need to be

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.517
an expert. And how would you why would
you trust the expert? That's a really

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.397
hard question. One simple way
of asking and answering the question is

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.997
does the expert is the
expert on the payroll?

00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:55.797
Cuz a lot of these experts are actually

00:07:55.880 --> 00:08:00.797
wrapping a company. I am, too. But I'm
not wrapping buying this product. And

00:08:00.880 --> 00:08:04.357
part of the problem is, you know,
we have a very very you know, one of the

00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:07.917
things about the development
of nuclear energy and maybe a fortunate

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.957
unfortunately war was the people who
did it actually weren't doing it for the

00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.917
money. And we have a problem now and I
I mean I I I'm kind of more left. I think

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.917
it would be fair to say then, you know,
I believe in capitalism as the best

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.877
system because everything else is worse.

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:25.957
I think you believe in it as just
the best system. There's a slight

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.757
distinction there. Uh

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:30.357
I'm still somewhat of a German social

00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:33.037
democrat or a which means things have to

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.677
work. I am skeptical of migration.

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:40.317
I think it was a huge mistake. Um I mean
not controlled migration, but what we

00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:44.317
got. Um uh but uh which was the opinion of

00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:48.277
Helmut Schmidt.
That was Helmut Schmidt's opinion.

00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.637
Maybe we could listen to him.
Uh but any case uh

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.557
he was a titan. Um for those
of you who never heard of him. Uh

00:08:55.640 --> 00:08:57.677
but any case uh

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:02.157
Um it it's uh it it it's very very hard

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.077
to do these things correctly.
And And I'll tell you one of the most

00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:08.397
interesting things about regulation
which is on you know, someone who says

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.517
one of the things I think is happening
is when we had CDMA and Europe had GSM,

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.437
these are the wireless technologies. I

00:09:14.520 --> 00:09:17.477
think most most people thought CDMA was

00:09:17.560 --> 00:09:21.477
better, but most Europeans thought the
regulation in Europe was better. And so

00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:24.957
you ended up with a I think Europeans
would universally say they have a better

00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:29.157
product. You can debate it. But I think
people are pretty And this is just a

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.157
very different revolution where the

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.037
technology is like a breakout

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.637
technology. And um and and and and you

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.477
just can't intuit what would be good for

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:42.557
your country. You have to really have a

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:46.077
deep understanding of like where where

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:49.397
is the where where is the IP and alpha

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.437
actually being monetized? It doesn't
inherently mean because a local person

00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:59.157
is doing it, you're safe.
It's actually not true at all.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.197
So,

00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:03.397
is sort of a core

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.477
teaching moment for the group uh that

00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:09.437
they should deeply think about making

00:10:09.520 --> 00:10:12.717
sure that their data remains there. You

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:14.597
know, that that what they're training

00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:17.997
the model on remains in their control.

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.717
That you need an application There's
two basic things. One, I mean, there's a

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:25.397
technical version. You will need
an application layer which prevents which

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.197
makes the models valuable, which
helps train them, and which makes them

00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:32.597
specific. That will also allow you
to select weaker models that might be

00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:36.597
indigenous and control them. So,
like let's say as a matter of theory, you

00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:40.157
have I don't know, a pair You have
a model from Chile. It's weaker than the

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.517
model in America. You still might need

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.197
one to use it. And and and and open

00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:47.237
models are we're like we we just we have

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.597
a very important client
in America for lots of reasons uh

00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:55.837
they wanted to use open models.
The open model is being done by

00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:58.917
is actually on certain vectors. Now,
again, that you can't generalize. On

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.957
certain vectors, that model is better
than a frontier model. Now, it's only

00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:05.197
certain vectors, but it's the vector
they care about. Then, everybody has the

00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:10.517
same issue as the US government. Every
single one of you has If you're like, I

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.437
don't know, we have a big presence
in there. Do you really want to call large

00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:16.637
language model and provider and

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.077
negotiate the parameters of what you are

00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:21.837
doing on, I don't know, your security

00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:26.437
apparatus which in every country
is different. Um, so like, you know, the

00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:29.997
security the bounds of what you would do,
for example, just a neutral example.

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.757
In Europe, in America, civil
libertarians believe that um

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.237
you should not purge data because
by purging the data, it's hard to see what

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.357
the government has done with the data.

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.557
Core to European concept of your of of
civil liberties is that you do purge the

00:11:45.640 --> 00:11:49.157
data. I'm kind of a little bit
on the European side because

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.957
maybe you have an affair. Maybe
something like that happens. Do you need

00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:56.757
everyone to know that? So, I kind
of like the purge the data thing, but I

00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.397
think it's hard to say one or the other
is actually better. If you If you purge

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.877
the data, you can't really see what the
police did. If you don't purge uh if you

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.157
don't purge the data, you can, but it's

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:12.597
harder to have what might be viewed as a
normal personal life. Uh and most people

00:12:12.680 --> 00:12:15.957
do have a normal personal life
at some time in their life. Um

00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:20.757
of course no one in this room,
but um I may have had one. But uh um

00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.357
and uh uh

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.117
so, those are but if you have to

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:29.637
negotiate the parameters
of the model or take

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.837
I mean, I I like I you know, we have
it's commonly known we have a lot of big

00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:38.037
presence in French internal security.
Um and um but we don't have one in other

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:42.837
places. Um Do French
the the French internal

00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:45.997
security are very
effective at what they do.

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.637
Do they really need to negotiate
when they use a model with an American

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.317
frontier lab of the parameters that you
they're using the model? By the way,

00:12:53.400 --> 00:12:57.117
they might have a way of doing something
that allows them to catch people no

00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.197
one's ever thought of. If you exportate

00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:01.277
that, you no longer have a way of doing

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.677
it. And so, the the the those things are

00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:06.437
I would also say then the second point

00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:09.117
is not that related. Every single one of

00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.477
you has a a national in this country who

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:18.357
is a titan in industry.
And I I told Merkel this. I've got I've

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.917
got someone I I I talked
I told a lot of you have to

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.317
get them to move home.
Whatever it I don't know how you do it,

00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:30.357
but you got to get them to come and say
you are now going to do this for my

00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.477
country and you're going to set policy
in my country. And those technical

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:39.837
experts are with the exception really
of China, they are sitting here.

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:43.237
And they're sitting here for lots
of reasons. We, you know, like again, the

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.677
reason why I think it's important
to remember how crucial the time is, we

00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:50.117
don't have time to debate why people
are coming here. You can debate it. I can

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.917
tell you why they're coming here,
but it doesn't matter. They are here.

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.437
Almost everybody who
knows this is here and

00:13:57.520 --> 00:14:02.437
they you need to get them to come home
to your country and sit next to you and

00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:06.117
explain what regulation should look
in your terms. What should regulation look

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.157
like? What should the stack look like?

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.997
What model should we use? What software
we should use? What chips we should buy?

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.917
And what are and what is the cost of not,
you know, it may not be possible to

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.037
buy the best stack. Like I'm I'm
negotiating this with a lot of times of

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:26.077
with of countries abroad that quite
frankly are you know, like they're like

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:29.717
we don't want to be dependent
on the Palantir stack completely.

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:33.157
Which is, you know,
it's a heavy lift because

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.877
there are certain things that just we
have especially on the battlefield. But

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.197
I'm helping them to build a plan B.

00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:42.877
For because of course they don't want to
be dependent on me. I mean, in this case

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.957
I'm wildly pro-European despite

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:50.437
I feel like being slightly maligned. But
I'm I'm supplying things to Europe that

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:52.357
are not even in my economic interest.

00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.277
What if I get hit by a car?
How are you going to like dealing with

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.957
the next person running the company
who's like, "Are you not paying me as

00:14:58.040 --> 00:15:01.717
much as the gas station?"
That's what's going to happen. So, like

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:05.077
developing these things
and a technical expert

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:08.357
which you have, can really really drill

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.637
into these issues in hours. A

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.397
non-technical expert is very likely

00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.677
working for a company
that wants you to spend money.

00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:22.877
And then last lesson, you don't
need money. You need knowledge. I

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.237
One of the things I won't pick
on countries here, but a country I care a

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.397
lot about is always telling me how
much money they're going to spend.

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.237
I don't want to hear how much money
you're going to spend. Who's going to

00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.357
get the money? Like the money
doesn't matter as who as

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.117
much as who gets it.

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.477
And that is crucial. The person who is

00:15:39.560 --> 00:15:44.877
in charge of spending, investing
in tech needs to be someone who really is

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:48.077
thinking, "Why am I doing this? I could
be making even more money in America."

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:52.037
And you remind them,
"Because your country is great."

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.837
And that's how you do it.

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:59.197
>> One of the earlier conversations today

00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:03.237
said that having access to data centers

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.277
>> Mhm. >> is non-negotiable.
Whether you built it

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.077
or you rented it from someone else,
that the ability to have compute for your

00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:16.037
country is non-negotiable.
Do you agree? Do you

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:17.637
buy that? What What's your take?

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.957
>> Um I I I just want
to say for the record

00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:24.117
your palantir I get on my so crazy I
get on my line. There's this insane guy

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.637
saying we're building data centers like
in Florida. We don't even build data

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.517
centers. So just in case anyone's
watching this, um I It's like, you know,

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.717
yeah, look, you you are going to have
to have You need access to compute, you

00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:40.437
need access to your own data.
So the stack is compute,

00:16:40.520 --> 00:16:44.757
data, ability to manage data, ability to
control the models, ability to train the

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.077
models, and ability to compete against

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:52.197
your competitors and adversaries. And one
crucial part of that is compute. And

00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:55.437
countries are going to figure
out different ways to do it. I

00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:59.917
I I would My go to We're
partnered with Jensen and and

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.397
Nvidia. I would I think he's the world's
best at this. I would take I I also So

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.157
you know, like there's different ways
we're doing some pretty interesting

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.517
things that are are not yet public um

00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:14.877
around how you can build compute in in
kind of very sovereign architectures,

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.397
both commercially and in government.
Um so I that I think that is a starting

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.877
point. You also need electricity.

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.077
Um, and uh, if you look
at, you know, just like

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.957
again, I I would say, um, you know, the

00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:32.597
move in France to build nuclear
and stick with nuclear is probably what's

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.877
powering like it's just that like we

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.197
have to have a non-politically

00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:41.997
uh, it like Luddite conversation about
these things. Like you are going to need

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:47.197
a lot of electricity. How are you going
to get it? And again, I where like where

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:50.597
I I tend to think all these things come
with negative externalities. So I don't

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.357
think there's like I don't think the AI

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.157
revolution is 100% like good. But but

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.757
there's a huge dangers. But and with all

00:17:58.840 --> 00:18:02.117
these technologies, but you but but then

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.597
being left behind is probably the biggest
danger now. The and and then we

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.717
all have and you know, some countries

00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:10.717
here I know pretty well. We all have

00:18:10.800 --> 00:18:13.717
political insanity in our countries on

00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:16.997
both sides. By which I do not mean you.

00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:18.077
>> Thank you.

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.317
>> I I I I but like how do you negotiate

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.597
with wide swaths of your populace that

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.677
you know, don't Again, I think they're
legitimate. I mean, I personally and I'm

00:18:28.760 --> 00:18:33.477
I'm speaking for on my own behalf and not
in I think a big problem we have in

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:36.717
this country is I don't
think people are down for me

00:18:36.800 --> 00:18:39.237
being 20 times wealthier.

00:18:39.320 --> 00:18:44.237
It it it's just it it leaves a bad taste
in people's mouth. And I come from an

00:18:44.320 --> 00:18:47.837
academic family. I'm not even sure how
I ended up with all this money. And so

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.437
like I do think that's a that's
like that's like a real issue for our

00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:54.757
societies. And I do think like some

00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:59.357
societies in this room have less of that
issue because it's like very much like

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.437
we're looking out for you. I think
the Arab Middle East here has a huge

00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:07.157
advantage. Um, because
it's like uh, um, we are

00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.077
like on the political front, we are

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.397
under enormous pressure because the big

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.277
technology is not egalitarian. And then

00:19:14.360 --> 00:19:16.357
it's I think easier to organize if you

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:21.957
are a a country with a one with
a very understanding of a order

00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:24.797
that everyone in the country that belongs
is being looked after. You just

00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:28.237
have a lot less of these issues. And
there's no getting around these issues.

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:32.357
And so we have to figure out a ways
to bring people along and explain they'll

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.477
participate, but

00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:36.877
but but I actually believe this, but I'm

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.077
not the right person to explain it.

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.477
And so it's like, "Guys, it's going
to be great for everybody." And I'm not

00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:46.997
That's actually not my message. I think
it There are going to be some disruptive

00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:50.157
things. I don't believe in the doom
message. Now, part of the problem we

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.517
have in this country is a certain

00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:57.197
company was doing a doom message every
day. And that doom message is really

00:19:57.280 --> 00:20:01.197
really scared people and and then
they're and it scares people because

00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:03.437
there are elements of truth in it.

00:20:03.520 --> 00:20:07.477
But the elements of truth have been
exaggerated to the point where it causes

00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:11.197
huge political problems
and I I I think you will

00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:13.037
you you see these across the Western

00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:16.237
world. Uh maybe less actually uh

00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:19.557
definitely less in Japan, Korea, China

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.037
than than in other places, but there I

00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:27.117
think also um you just have you have
a very different setup. I mean, all those

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:31.837
countries are very different from one
another, but in the end I think um we'll

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.957
have political advantages on the

00:20:34.040 --> 00:20:37.037
adoption of AI. Uh whereas the American

00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:41.517
advantage is the production of AI. So,
that's our We have an enormous advantage

00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:43.397
in the production. The dissemination of

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:45.877
AI and getting people to adopt without

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.117
political insanity, that's where we and

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.037
I would I would say without overreach

00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:54.437
European countries have a pretty extreme

00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:59.717
disadvantage. And so, how do
you how do you get that to work?

00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.997
Is a real Maybe we should see if they
have any questionings. I don't know, but

00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:06.037
I love your questions.
We can keep going with yours.

00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:10.517
Well, I I think uh I'd like
to sort of end it with are

00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:14.677
you tell me about optimism. Is this uh an

00:21:14.760 --> 00:21:16.397
optimistic time? You know, there are

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.677
always risks with change, but isn't this

00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:23.997
an incredibly optimistic time? The
opportunity that they all have for their

00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:26.317
citizens to be able to

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.997
uh extend education, knowledge,

00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:32.997
uh democratize knowledge, the capacity

00:21:33.080 --> 00:21:37.437
to change things. I'm interested in your
take. Is it Is it worrisome to you or is

00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:41.157
it optimistic? >> I ain't ready to put it.

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.317
I mean, like in our like my I I am

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.477
optimistic under the condition that
everyone goes home and says, "Okay,

00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:53.237
guys, let's get real. It we're not
really taking this seriously yet."

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:57.317
Uh I think it I would
say it's very similar to

00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.197
battlefield context. You Under the

00:22:00.280 --> 00:22:04.877
condition that everyone goes home and
says, "Okay, we didn't really take this

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.997
seriously, and there were lots
of reasons not to take it seriously, and

00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:12.077
some of it is a joke." And I mean,
as I'm speaking as someone who's lived

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:16.757
abroad a lot of my life, many times people
think something is American marketing.

00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:19.837
Like, you know, it's a thing. People
like think we're the best at this, and

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.557
maybe it's, you know,
that. This isn't that.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.197
And uh and so that's where it under the

00:22:26.280 --> 00:22:29.037
condition that people like you're very

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:32.077
important people in the world, and it

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.597
going to your

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.317
very justifiably important, historically

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.157
important, in the present important uh

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.837
culture and history-shaping countries,
of which you all represent in one form

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.277
or another here, uh and saying,
"This is game time.

00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:52.437
How serious are we?" And and I do
think you should get access to all the

00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:56.437
classified data. What has worked on
the battlefield? Is a very important You

00:22:56.520 --> 00:22:59.877
know, historically, the test
of technology has been what has worked on

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.597
the battlefield. Get access to the class

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.317
your most your actually classified data.

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:07.237
What has worked, what hasn't worked. And

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:10.357
then build something around we are going

00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.837
to make this work and find actual

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:18.157
patriots in your country.
Then I'm very optimistic.

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.397
Um and then I'm also in then
in the American context,

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.477
you know, finding ways to educate people
about where things will work and where

00:23:26.560 --> 00:23:29.397
they won't have a more
honest conversation.

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.637
I would be even more optimistic. But the

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.037
net net, I'm of course optimistic.

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:37.117
Um and you know, I guess I'm still an

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.037
academic, so I can't be 100% academic as

00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:44.357
as cheery and lively as you are, but I I

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.877
I'm aspiring to it. I'm aspiring to it.

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.120
>> Thank you. Okay.
>> Thank you very much.

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.157
>> Good afternoon, everyone. Um

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:34.397
part of our objective uh

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.117
was to bring about a variety of views

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.677
and ideas

00:24:39.760 --> 00:24:42.637
um without filter.

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.157
Right? AI is without filter. And so I

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:51.960
didn't sit aside and plan what my
