In our season finale, Blaise Agüera y Arcas, Google’s founder of the Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi) team, offers a provocative take on what intelligence actually is, and what it could become. He predicts our collective intelligence will overcome disruptions and lead us to greater freedoms and possibilities, and a greater quality of life. And that ever-expanding, ever-wiser intelligence carries remarkable potential to help us solve some of our biggest challenges, including the climate crisis and elimination of disease.

In this episode, Blaise also digs into his ambitious work with Project Suncatcher, a bold research moonshot exploring how we can someday tap abundant space-based solar energy to fuel the next generation of AI.

In an era of climate instability, two innovators are using AI to reimagine agriculture from the soil up.

Anastasia Volkova, CEO of Regrow Ag, traces her path from a family farm in Ukraine to building technology that helps farmers worldwide adopt regenerative practices. We also meet Brad Zamft, CEO of Heritable Agriculture, an Alphabet Moonshot project using advanced AI models to decode plant genetics and shrink crop-breeding timelines from years to months.

Together, they explain how data, computation, and modeling are transforming agriculture into a more resilient, sustainable system — and how AI is helping secure the future of global food production.

Watch our complimentary documentary in which Brad Zamft takes us first into his lab and then to Ontario, Canada, where Heritable’s work revolutionizing strawberry genetics is making a remarkable impact in the green fields of Tamberry Farms.

As AI models become more powerful, their appetite for energy is soaring — creating a high-stakes tension between technological progress and sustainability.

In this episode, Lucia Tian, Google’s Head of Clean Energy & Decarbonization Technologies, helps us navigate the race to secure the carbon-free power that will fuel the next generation of intelligence.

We explore Google’s innovative approach to this challenge, from pioneering partnerships in advanced geothermal and next-gen nuclear, to using AI itself to stabilize and optimize the grid. Lucia paints a vivid picture of how these breakthroughs can accelerate a net-zero future while keeping the world’s most demanding computing systems online.

It’s a look at the energy system behind the AI revolution, and the people working to make it both powerful and sustainable.
