Sundar Pichai

Pichai said the future leader must ensure that Google’s tools and innovations continue to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Pichai explained that he has been using AI tools such as Replit and Cursor to develop custom webpages.

Pichai addressed the growing concern that artificial intelligence could eventually make a large chunk of Google’s 1,80,000 employees redundant.

When asked if Google could continue doing everything it wants to do if forced to sell Chrome, Pichai didn’t give a direct yes or no. But he made it pretty clear that selling Chrome isn’t part of Google’s plans.

Pichai addressed concerns around AI Overviews, which provide quick, AI-generated answers at the top of search results, sometimes replacing the need to click on external links.

Sundar Pichai's comments follows a wave of AI-related announcements for both developers and consumers at Google I/O, as the tech giant seeks to stay ahead in the rapidly escalating AI arms race.

Pichai says that’s like asking Google to give away its secret sauce. He even called it a “de facto divestiture of search,” meaning it would be like splitting up Google’s core business without officially doing so.

Sundar Pichai, 52, has spent the majority of his career at Google, starting as a product manager in 2004 and rising through the ranks to become CEO of the company in 2015

Interestingly in 2022, Pichai’s compensation was massively inflated by a $226 million stock grant linked to performance goals. This windfall came just before Alphabet’s layoffs in 2023

Alphabet reported $34.5 billion profit, fueled by cloud and AI growth. Revenue rose 12%. Legal challenges loom, including antitrust cases over its dominance in online search and advertising markets.

Sundar Pichai's statement demonstrates how closely the Google CEO adheres to the Indian Premier League.

Sundar Pichai has rarely interacted with Musk on Twitter. While Pichai tends to be reserved about his opinions, Musk is known for speaking his mind.

AI is just the beginning, says Google CEO Sundar Pichai. He believes the next big leap could come from quantum computing, biotechnology, or robotics

He also expressed optimism that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ongoing visit to Washington DC will further cement an already-strong bilateral relationship, and lead to greater collaboration between India and the US, on AI.

Pichai further said how they (Google and India) can work closely together on the country's digital transformation.

Alphabet is set to invest $75 billion in capital expenditures, focusing on ramping up its AI capabilities and expanding data centers and infrastructure.

Alphabet said it sees 'opportunities for further productivity and efficiency', and will keep it a priority for the company, as it announced that it will invest nearly $75 billion in capex this year, a majority of which will go into technical infrastructure such as servers and data centers.

Alphabet announced $75 billion in 2025 capital expenditures, far exceeding the $57.9 billion that analysts expected. The investment is “directly driving revenue” because it helps customers, Alphabet Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai said on the earnings call with investors.
