Stuart Russell co-wrote Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, the textbook that trained a generation of AI researchers, and founded UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI. He joins Philipp and Steve on Inside CVC straight from the floor of SuperReturn in Berlin, where AI was the only topic anyone wanted to talk about.
Stuart takes apart the "but China" argument used in Washington to block AI safety regulation, and explains why China's rules are actually stricter than Europe's. He walks through why a Paris AI startup can raise three hundred thousand euros while the same company gets one hundred million in California, and why that funding gap, not regulation, is what pushed a generation of British and European AI pioneers to Stanford and Silicon Valley. He also breaks down why no country, including the US, actually has a sovereign AI stack, and shares a randomized trial showing chatbot users gave up on problems twice as often once the tool was taken away.
If you sit on a board or in the C-suite weighing where AI belongs in your business, this conversation will sharpen the questions you ask before you approve the next deployment.
