At this year’s RAAIS, Max Jaderberg of Isomorphic Labs delivered a talk that felt like the spiritual sequel to AlphaGo , only this time the board isn’t 19×19, it’s the human body. The stakes? The future of drug discovery and human health. Isomorphic Labs, the biotech spinout from DeepMind, has declared a radical mission: solving disease . It's not a metaphor. It’s a systems-level wager that th...

At this year’s RAAIS, I joined Adam Satariano of the New York Times and Dimitrios Kottas , founder of Delian Alliance Industries and formerly Apple's Special Projects Group, for a candid conversation about one of the most taboo, yet increasingly urgent topics in tech: AI and defense. The timing couldn’t be more acute. The war in Ukraine has shown how low-cost drones and software can upend conv...

At RAAIS 2025, Andreas Blattmann , co-founder of Black Forest Labs , shared a deep dive into FLUX.1 Kontext, the startup’s newly released generative model for controllable image and video generation. The talk gave a rare look under the hood of one of the most technically ambitious and commercially relevant AI-first companies to emerge in Europe. Andreas is no stranger to the field. He was among th...

What you need to know in AI across geopolitics, big tech, hardware, research, models, datasets, financings and exits over the last 4 weeks. 

Two years ago, I met Mati Staniszewski in a time before AI voices were good enough to fool anyone. ElevenLabs hadn’t launched yet, but their vision was clear: voice was broken, and they were going to fix it. Today, ElevenLabs is one of the fastest-moving companies in the agentic voice space. Their platform powers narration for authors, dubbing for studios, real-time agents for enterprises, and eve...

If 2016 was the year AI shocked the world by mastering Go, 2025 is shaping up to be the year they learn to innovate . This is the thesis of Ed Hughes , long-time researcher at Google DeepMind and one of the few voices charting a credible path toward AI systems capable of doing science . In his closing talk at RAAIS this year, Hughes argued that we’re entering a new phase in the evolution of artifi...

At this year's RAAIS, we convened a panel with Lionel Laurent ( Bloomberg ), Chris Yiu ( Meta ), and Benedict Macon-Cooney ( Tony Blair Institute ) to dissect the uneasy relationship between AI and the state. This conversation, grounded in experience across Whitehall, Big Tech, and Brussels, pulled no punches on where things stand and what still needs to change.

When poolside co-founder and CTO Eiso Kant stepped on stage at RAAIS 2025, he didn’t deliver the kind of slick, pre-baked keynote you might expect from the co-founder of one of the most ambitious AI companies in the world. Instead, Kant opted for a more experimental approach: a candid walkthrough of poolside’s beliefs, software systems, and bets on how to build AGI. The result was one of the most...

Across the technology investing world, investors are scaling their bets on a seductive thesis: Generative AI will transform low-margin service businesses into high-margin software companies. Several well-known platform venture firms have committed billions to this strategy and have begun to make their bets. This essay is co-authored by Nathan Benaich and Nikola Mrksic, CEO of PolyAI.

At this year’s RAAIS, Paige Bailey of Google DeepMind delivered her talk on AI research to production with interactive demos and a clear thesis: “I’m going to show you how to automate significant parts of your work.” Generative models are now a co-author, a debugger, a lab assistant, a video editor. And increasingly, models are doing the work behind the curtain while you coach and edit. Here’s her...

A decade is a familiar yardstick for measuring progress. In that time, we tend to expect  steady, incremental change. Historically, meaningful change tends to unfold slowly. In AI, however, the last ten years has been a story of "gradually, then suddenly". The weekly model launches we are now accustomed to feel incremental in the heat of the moment, but a ten-year look back reveals a lan...

Where politics and power meet AI. In recent months, a subtle but politically astute rebranding has propagated across the AI industry. Leading figures like NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman are no longer calling the backbone of AI infrastructure "AI data centers." Instead, they refer to them as "AI factories." At first glance, this might seem like hype-driven marketi...
