At the Bloomberg technology Summit this week, CEO Sundar Pichai predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role in the future leadership of Google. When asked whether google will be run by humans or AI in the future, Pichai replied that he definitely thinks that those who run it will have an extraordinary AI companion. The products we create have a huge impact on society. The journey of technologies is to ensure that they are used in a way that benefits people. I think that will be important, said Sundar Pichai. That is, future leaders will use AI to make decisions, but he emphasized that human values, ethics, and social responsibility will play a key role in decision-making.
Also, before taking the stage, Meta Platforms Chief technology Officer (CTO) Andrew Bosworth said that there has been a cultural shift in Silicon Valley, where it is now more acceptable for the IT industry to create resources for the US military. For example, google last week announced a partnership with defense contractor Anduril industries Inc. to develop products for the US military. This includes an artificial intelligence-powered helmet with virtual and augmented reality features. Human talent matters in the age of AI: google parent Alphabet has confirmed that it will hire engineers until at least 2026. He stressed that human talent is important even as the company increases its AI investments.
I expect us to grow from our current IT platform even next year because it helps us to use the opportunity space to do more, he said. "I see this as engineers becoming dramatically more productive and getting many mundane aspects out of what they do. AI tools will enhance the productivity of human engineers and help them focus on more complex and creative tasks," he said. Other tech companies like microsoft have laid off more employees this year, reportedly as part of massive investments needed to ensure leadership in AI. The layoffs have fueled fears that technology will replace some job functions. Similarly, google has also conducted several rounds of layoffs in recent years to grow the company.

However, while AI is excelling in areas such as coding, AI models continue to make fundamental mistakes. This requires human intervention, he said. He stressed that AI is only a tool and that human knowledge, skills, and supervision are essential.
