The Future of AI Development: Gemini, Robotics & Space | Google DeepMind's Paige Bailey


Listen Later

Google DeepMind is reshaping the AI landscape with an unprecedented wave of releases—from Gemini 3 to robotics and even data centers in space.

Paige Bailey, AI Developer Relations Lead at Google DeepMind, joins us to break down the full Google AI ecosystem. From her unique journey as a geophysicist-turned-AI-leader who helped ship GitHub Copilot, to now running developer experience for DeepMind's entire platform, Paige offers an insider's view of how Google is thinking about the future of AI.

The conversation covers the practical differences between Gemini 3 Pro and Flash, when to use the open-source Gemma models, and how tools like Anti-Gravity IDE, Jules, and Gemini CLI fit into developer workflows. Paige also demonstrates Space Math Academy—a gamified NASA curriculum she built using AI Studio, Colab, and Anti-Gravity—showing how modern AI tools enable rapid prototyping.


The discussion then ventures into AI's physical frontier: robotics powered by Gemini on Raspberry Pi, Google's robotics trusted tester program, and the ambitious Project Suncatcher exploring data centers in space.
