(as we both work at Google, and our peers are working on AI.)

Speaking of False Consensus Effect, when you say this, are you mentioning something which is already public knowledge, like self-driving cars or Google now, or are you talking about some other project that perhaps people outside of Google haven't even heard of and you can't talk about in detail? There are a lot of things that someone might call to mind when they hear someone else say "our peers are working on AI." But I wouldn't be surprised if I was getting the entirely wrong impression from this sentence and I should try to avoid that.
