Summary
Pushmeet Kohli leads AI for Science at DeepMind, where his team has created AlphaEvolve, an AI system that discovers entirely new algorithms and proves mathematical results that have eluded researchers for decades. From improving 50-year-old matrix multiplication algorithms to generating interpretable code for complex problems like data center scheduling, AlphaEvolve represents a new paradigm where LLMs coupled with evolutionary search can outperform human experts. Pushmeet explains the technical architecture behind these breakthroughs and shares insights from collaborations with mathematicians like Terence Tao, while discussing how AI is accelerating scientific discovery across domains from chip design to materials science.
