Just my fortnightly reminder that we can be critical of AI without being snarky and derisive, and we can use AI without pouring that special sauce over everything we see. Education benefits from adopters, resisters, and middle…ers. #artificialintelligence #aieducation #aiedu

Three members of the team at NotebookLM are leaving to form their own startup. I wonder what they’re planning next? #EduSkyAI #AIEdu
Hi @everyone, Today is my last day at Google after 5.5 years, where I met many of you while I’ve been leading the NotebookLM team. I’ve learned a lot in the last couple of years as we went from idea to prototype to a product loved by millions of users — and I could not imagine a better team and product to end this chapter of my career.  It’s been a fantastic experience building this community up from day 0 and it has been one of the highlights of my career. Thank you all for being such a great community, and I hope to keep lurking and joining in on occasion, with my own use cases down the line. There is a lot in store for NotebookLM on the horizon and I have so much confidence that this team and product will continue to delight millions more people in the future – including myself! As for what’s next for me, I’m starting a new company with two other members of the NotebookLM team. If you’re interested in keeping updated, you can sign up for updates here: https://werebuilding.ai/ And if you’re interested in building with us, hit me up at hello@raiza.ai – I’d love to hear from you 😃
