Sundar Pichai makes his first LinkedIn post, here’s what the Google CEO shared

Sundar Pichai

For tech CEOs to be active on social media is common but most choose X (formerly Twitter) to air their thoughts or announcements. Still, it does come as a surprise to see Google CEO Sundar Pichai make his first-ever LinkedIn post.

Pichai took to the Microsoft-owned professional social networking platform on the eve of Google’s biggest event of 2024. The tech giant’s annual developer conference will get underway later tonight and Pichai’s first post was regarding that.

He posted on LinkedIn, “For my first-ever LinkedIn post, I thought I’d share a sneak peek of the Shoreline Amphitheatre stage, as we put some finishing touches on our keynote for Google I/O tomorrow. Can’t wait to see those seats filled with developers from around the world who are building the next generation of AI experiences,” he said in the post attached with an image of the amphitheatre.

He also tagged a few of his Google’s colleagues and shed light on what people can expect from the company at I/O 2024. “We'll share how our Gemini models are bringing breakthrough AI capabilities to people through our products, as well as innovation across safety, research, infrastructure…we’re going to talk about it all. Tune in if you can — 10 a.m. PT tomorrow,” Pichai further added in the post.

As Pichai mentioned, AI will be the main talking point for Google at I/O 2024. We can also expect to hear about Android 15 new features. However, it is unlikely that Google announces any new hardware considering the Pixel 8a smartphone was launched last week.
