01Summary
- 01Demis Hassabis spoke at the International AI Summit in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday morning.
- 02He said AI could help solve the climate question through climate modelling, weather modelling and green technology.
- 03Hassabis said future AI systems could aid fusion plasma containment, superconductors, better batteries and better solar materials.
- 04He mentioned Google’s Gemini 4 Argon model and OpenAI’s claim to have solved the Navier-Stokes equation, but did not mention AGI.
- 05In 2024, Hassabis, John Jumper and David Baker won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for AI work on protein structure prediction.
02Why it matters
If AI can improve energy systems, weather forecasting and materials science, it could affect how quickly cleaner technologies reach homes and businesses. The same technology also depends on large data centres, which adds to pressures on power grids and natural resources.
