Bari Weiss, editor in chief of CBS News, says every newsroom choice is an editorial choice and that legacy CBS must change for a world of unlimited choice.
Anne Wojcicki says 23andMe is now a nonprofit that will open its millions of customers' research data to academics and seek donors, grants and pharma partnerships.
Lori Goler says the $1.8bn Chan Zuckerberg Initiative collaboration with Google and the Department of Energy will build AI biology models on datasets biology lacks, with commercial users paying $100m for access.
Google Says Underbuilding AI Power Is Bigger Risk Than Overbuilding
Guest interviews
Amanda Peterson Corio, Google executive leading energy and power strategy. Power plants take years to build while chips update every six to eighteen months, so Google plans power three or four years ahead. Its approach spans over a gigawatt of Voltus virtual power plants, a Constellation nuclear deal in PJM, and bets on Kairos reactors and Fervo geothermal. She says Google pays 100% of its energy bills and worries far more about underbuilding than overbuilding.
Lori Goler, executive at Biohub. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is investing $500m in a $1.8bn AI biology collaboration with Google and the Department of Energy. It starts by creating spatial biology and perturbation data, which biology lacks compared with the internet. Commercial partners pay $100m for access to several times that value of data, which opens after a twelve-month embargo.
Nicole Su, head of AI investment banking in the Americas at UBS. Headline valuations in multi-tranche rounds do not reflect investors' actual cost base, and FOMO coexists with discipline. Neoclouds struggle to borrow because their AI-native customers lack rated credit, though she expects no bankruptcies. For the mega lab IPOs, she sees free cash flow as a clearer measure than gross margin.
Anne Wojcicki, founder and CEO of the 23andMe Research Institute. After the 2025 bankruptcy, the nonprofit will open data from over 11m opted-in customers to academics, funded through philanthropy and pharma partnerships. It found a rare EGFR lung cancer variant in about 700 customers, who will be told to get low-dose chest CTs. She wants a curation layer so consumers get validated results rather than chatbot interpretations.
Brittany Greenfield, founder and CEO of Wabbi. Pull requests are tripling or quadrupling and lines of code are up 30% while flaw rates hold steady, so security must shift from finding vulnerabilities to fixing them. About 96% of developers use AI coding tools, often blindly. She urges process over fear.
Bari Weiss, editor in chief of CBS News. Weiss says she was not involved in editing either CBS News story on the October 7 anniversary and that every newsroom choice is editorial. She says most staff have adopted an entrepreneurial culture, citing Nora O'Donnell's health podcast and Tony Dokoupil's Great Question.
