Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, recently held an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” where he discussed the potential for artificial intelligence in the world today. Pichai focused on the wide-reaching implications of AI, noting that it will impact “every product across every company”. He also gave an example of how AI can help radiologists, who diagnose and treat medical conditions using images, to flag any potential medical issues or missed diagnoses. Pichai added that it is essential to take advantage of a super-powered assistant to aide in all activities.
In addition, Pichai noted that AI will have an impact on some job roles, such as writers, accountants, architects, and software engineers. As proof, Google’s AI chatbot ChatGPT hypothetically was able to pass an interview to be hired as an entry-level software engineer at the firm. Google released its own chatbot Bard to the public in March, which produces a text-based response to user questions or prompts to boost productivity and aid in pointing out new ideas or concepts. This came after OpenAI’s ChatGPT became an incredibly popular consumer app, resulting in 100 million users in only two months and leading Google to issue a “code red” regarding the development of its own AI products.
Google is one of the world’s leading technology companies, its products being used by billions of people around the globe. The company was founded in 1998 and has since become one of the most recognizable and profitable brands in the world. Sundar Pichai became the CEO of Google in 2015 and has since used his leadership to advance the company’s ideas and goals. Pichai’s vision is to make Google’s products accessible to everybody, and he is firmly dedicated to the exploration and advancement of artificial intelligence.
