Building for our AI future
Ed note: Today, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai shared a number of structural changes to improve velocity and execution across the company. His note to employees is below.
We’re coming off an amazing Cloud Next — congrats again to all involved. It was nice to see the recognition of our leading AI tools and infrastructure, and all the ways our customers are using them. Excited to show more progress during our earnings call next Thursday. Today, I want to share some changes we’re making across the company to simplify decisions and help us work better and faster.
There’s context below for the changes in 4 parts: 1. Models and Research; 2. Responsible AI; 3. Platforms and Devices; and 4. Mission First. It's a long note, but I want you to see the full rationale.
These changes continue the work we've done over the past year to simplify our structure and improve velocity and execution — such as bringing together the Brain team in Google Research with teams in DeepMind, which helped accelerate our Gemini models; unifying our ML infrastructure and ML developer teams to enable faster decisions, smarter compute allocation, and a better customer experience; and bringing our Search teams under one leader.
