During the meeting, Pichai stated, “When a company goes through a phase of large-scale investment, the usual approach is to expand the workforce. However, in this AI-driven transformation, we need to be more efficient and productive. We are making substantial investments, and to ensure these are utilized effectively, we must be prudent with our resources. I want us to work in a more effective and strategic manner.”
Brian Saluzzo, Vice President of Google’s Core Development and Product Management division, added, “We have developed multiple AI tools for our software engineers, enabling all Google employees to use AI technology more effectively. Our goal is to integrate AI into coding workflows to allow engineers to complete tasks faster, ultimately boosting Google’s overall productivity.”
Recently, Alphabet, Google’s parent company, released its quarterly earnings report, revealing plans to increase capital expenditure to $85 billion in 2025, up from the previously projected $75 billion. According to Pichai, the new investments and technological transformation centered around AI will position Google as a more sustainable and efficient organization.
