# Sergey Brin

Co-founder of [[entity-google-d50]], cited by the speaker as having stated on the record that he would rather go bankrupt than lose the race on AI. See [[quote-brin-bankrupt]] and the underlying [[claim-hyperscaler-bankrupt-willingness]].

**Enrichment context**: No direct verified quote from Brin about 'bankruptcy for AI' is on the public record. He is noted as actively involved in AI work at Alphabet. Treat the attribution as a paraphrase reflecting hyperscaler sentiment rather than a verbatim citation.
