Google CEO Sundar Pichai on the future of search, AI agents, and selling Chrome
The Verge, Tuesday, May 27th, 2025
The head of Google discusses the next AI platform shift and how it could change how we use the internet forever.
If you caught any of the news from I/O, you know that it was all about AI - particularly a huge new set of AI products, not just models and capabilities. Sundar told me that these products represent a new phase of the AI platform shift, and we talked about that at length: how that shift is playing out, what the markers of these phases are, and whether any of these products can actually deliver a return on the huge investments Google has made in AI over the years.
