For the latest episode of the Google AI: Release Notes podcast, host Logan Kilpatrick sat down with CEO Sundar Pichai last week to discuss the extraordinary progress — and future — of AI at Google.
Sundar shared the thinking behind going “AI-first” all the way back in 2016, setting up key investments that led the company to this moment.
