Pichai’s Vision for AI
Pichai believes that AI will soon impact “every product of every company” and disrupt jobs. He has called for AI regulations and guidelines to ensure that the technology is “aligned to human values”.

He believes that AI has the potential to radically transform the way we live and work.
