Google CEO Sundar Pichai has assured that the company’s search engine will be “profoundly different” by 2025. Speaking at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit, Pichai expressed confidence in Google’s ability to address increasingly complex problems through innovation. “I think we’ll be able to solve more complex problems than ever before,” he stated.
Google’s Edge in the AI Race
Pichai responded to earlier remarks by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who suggested Google had the resources to be the “default winner” in the AI race but fell short. Pichai countered, saying, “I’d love to see a comparison between Microsoft’s own models and our models,” while pointing out that Microsoft’s reliance on OpenAI’s models differs from Google’s approach.
The Google CEO emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation, describing the current period as the “very early stages of a profound change.” Pichai added, “We strive to be at the forefront of this space, and I think we are.”
