As state legislatures consider more than 500 anti-trans bills, the latest episode of Into the Mix asks,

how best to support and protect transgender youth.

Like Olioski, a young man who, despite growing up in a loving and supportive home,

felt the need for friendship with other trans and queer kids.

At just seven years old, he took initiative and built a lasting community.

Who is head of Google AI, head of Google's AI research.

You might have seen Jeff on stage at Google AI.

I would talk to my AI. He actually ended the keynote. It was a big presentation at the end.

So James interview Jeff a while ago, but AI moved so fast that there's been a bunch of things that have happened since that interview.

So he oversees all of Google's AI products and services and their research as well. And you know, as Sundar is always saying that Google is an AI first company now. So he's basically in charge of Google's entire future at this point.
