lodi casino Sundar Pichai Hits Back at Criticism of Company’s A.I. Leadership

Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executivelodi casino, projected a rosy image of his company’s leadership in artificial intelligence, rejecting criticism from rivals and downplaying antitrust fights that could force the technology giant to split itself up.

Mr. Pichai said at The New York Times’s DealBook Summit that Google’s popular search engine would “change profoundly” in the next year, despite his expectation that the pace of A.I. development would slow in 2025.

“I think you’ll be surprised even early in ’25 the kind of newer things search can do compared to where it is today,” he said.

Google is seen as facing an innovator’s dilemma in generative A.I., since its search dominance could be displaced by chatbots, such as ChatGPT and other apps. Mr. Pichai acknowledged the challenge, but he said Google could innovate quickly enough to overcome it.

Mr. Pichai also took a rare shot at Microsoft, whose chief executive, Satya Nadella, has lambasted Google for not having built an insurmountable lead in generative A.I., despite making strides in the technology long before its rivals.

“I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time,” he said. “They’re using someone else’s models,” he added, referring to Microsoft’s use of OpenAI’s technology.

Besides competitive pressures, Google also faces multiple legal fights that could force the company to break itself up. Google lost a landmark antitrust case in August over its search engine dominance, and a federal judge is considering a government request that the company divest Chrome, its popular web browser. Mr. Pichai said that the company would vigorously defend itself but that his main focus was the company’s A.I. efforts.

Donald J. Trump has publicly expressed skepticism about the possibility of a Google corporate split, but Mr. Pichai said he had not discussed the litigation with the president-elect since the election. The two men had spoken about energy and the need to innovate to build things, and Mr. Pichai expressed optimism about Mr. Trump’s plans.

“There are areas where he’s thinking about, and committed to, making a difference, so hopefully we can make progress there,” Mr. Pichai said, adding that Mr. Trump was focused on the need for American competitiveness on A.I.

Mr. Trump described the phone calls differently during the campaign. He said that Mr. Pichai told him that he was “the No. 1 person on all of Google for stories” and that his campaign stop at a McDonald’s was “one of the biggest things we’ve ever had on Google.”lodi casino
