AI Meets Gaming Moritz Baier-Lentz

Moritz joins Google to talk about the intersection of gaming and AI. A lifelong gamer, Moritz spent his teenage years competitively playing Blizzard's Diablo 2, culminating in a global ranking among over 12 million players in 2003. The first in his family to graduate high school, he traded the digital swords and armor that he earned in-game to afford his college tuition – two decades before digital asset trading entered the mainstream. Now, Moritz is a Senior Partner and the Head of Gaming and Interactive Media at Lightspeed Venture Partners. Lightspeed is a global venture capital firm with more than $29 billion in assets under management and over 200 exists across the US, Europe, and Asia. In both 2023 and 2024, founders selected Lightspeed as the lead investor in the gaming industry. Moritz has been recognized in Forbes 30 Under 30, Capital's 40 Under 40, and the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders. In his personal time, he's an avid Ironman and Ultramarathon athlete. He's completed the World Marathon Challenge, running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days, and the 257km Marathon des Sables. With his races, he has raised over $250,000 for research to cure depression. Watch this episode at youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle .
