Sergey might have some positive influence on Gemini, but given that he isn't an AI scientist ( AKA no technical background), I really do wonder what sort of influence that (only) he could have had, beyond just bringing in key people.

I assume by "no technical background" you mean he doesn't have a PHD in AI.

He's probably not developing the low-level algorithms but he can probably do everything else and has years of experience doing so.

He's also perfectly able to spend 60 hours a week improving his AI skills using the best teachers in the world.

The man that invented PageRank while going to college at Stanford for a PhD doesn't have a technical background? He did not get that PhD because he founded Google. He may not be as smart as you think you are, but he's no slouch either.
