Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed world leaders gathered at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, India. What follows is a transcript of the remarks, as prepared for delivery...
Thank you, Prime Minister Modi, and distinguished leaders. It is wonderful to be back in India. Every time I visit, I am struck by the pace of change and today is no different.
Back when I was a student, I often took the Coromandel Express train from Chennai up to IIT Kharagpur. To get there we passed through Visakhapatnam - Vizag. I remember it being a quiet and modest coastal city, brimming with potential.
Now, in that same city, Google is establishing a full-stack AI hub, part of our $15 billion infrastructure investment in India. When finished, this hub will house gigawatt-scale compute and a new international subsea cable gateway, bringing jobs and the benefits of cutting-edge AI to people and businesses across India.
