Elon Musk is the only CEO who says what he thinks. All other CEOs just say what is the best for the public image of their respective companies.

[@RameshKumar-kb7hp]

That's what he's made you believe LMAO. All CEOs of public traded companies carefully speak in front of the camera, cause ever word they utter affects the stock price of their respective companies.

All good until Elon costs you money because of his stupidity. Smart man but the mouth is out of control.

[@ksai999]

Did Elon musk ever say something that wasn’t good for his companies?

[@IAAM9]

I personally think Sundar is much more empathic than Satya Nadella

[@adamliang8567]

Great questions, but I don’t think Sunder is answering them

[@lemuhuru]

I prefer Nadella, his responses and thinking is more interesting and has more depth

[@IAAM9]

Nadella is better at speaking, more dynamic and confident with his smirk, but Sundar seems like a guy who care more about the people. He was reluctant to release AI, to the world.

[@ahmedzakikhan7639]

​@IAAM9 maybe because Google was too slow at it - busy wasting cash in useless things like chrome books and Google pixel phones- which people arnt buying.

[@ssuwandi3240]

He's older and wiser.

[@GabrielVeda]

Good questions from the interviewer. Good dodges from the interviewee.

[@acpatel9491]

Nice interview. This is the first time I have heard Sundar Pichai in detail. Down the earth, he is a nice person and think positively about people, globe and their responsibility as a tech company. He is also optimistic and think positively about the future. Nice questions by the interviewer, thank you.

[@normanoro206]

This was a very wide-ranging interview with Sundar Pichai. Although it took place about 2 months ago, the topics discussed are still very relevant (in fact, many are even more so). The question of misinformation/disinformation in particular is looming ever larger as elections approach. I've heard of watermarking technologies like the one Sundar Pichai mentions, but I don't know whether that'll be ready to help people distinguish real vs AI-generated content by the time elections really kick into gear here in the US and elsewhere. Also, the question of China is top of mind when it comes to AI. In a perfect world, we'd be working alongside China to develop this technology more rapidly and (probably) more responsibly. However, the current geopolitical climate makes that essentially impossible (in fact, arguably we're trying to throttle China's efforts in the field because Beijing in many ways is now (and not without reason) seen more as an adversary than a partner). And of course, we have the benefit of hindsight with respect to Gemini, which was certainly a leap forward in terms of multi-modal AI (its more holistic approach incorporates video, audio and images, as well as text). Despite the relatively muted response so far, it was certainly an upgrade when it was released. Ultimately, what struck me most about this interview was Sundar Pichai invoking human rights and human values as Google's true north when it comes to developing this technology. With what must be immense pressures to monetize generative AI not only at Google but elsewhere, it was heartening to hear this clearly stated by the CEO of a large technology company. Like many people, I believe that generative artificial intelligence will eventually transform our world. How this goes will ultimately depend on the values we choose to apply to that process.

[@robf8349]

The best comparison for AI is nuclear weapons. A truly paradigm shifting technology that by its very nature as such a potentially destructive force necessitates cooperation globally. Even at the worst of times between the US and the soviet union/russia we still came together to develop frameworks and treaties for the limits of nuclear weapons because it simply needed to be done to avert global catastrophe. Pichai is 100% correct on needing to work with China despite our geopolitical differences to ensure that AI is deployed in a reasonable manner.

[@hinthegroove9740]

AI is a fantastic and important conversation to have, but I’m fixated on black & white elegance today 😊

I would like to know what makes her say that it is two internets in the world as opposed to many - the splinternet. The English and European languages one, China's (which is mostly in chinese and not accessible to most others outside of the Chinese diaspora either), Iran's, Russia's, Arabic and the smaller African one's (using Chinese technology - including surveillance - but not really interacting with the Chinese one). We are not going back to a dual-pole world but into a multipolar one - two internets is cold war era thinking Really liked his response also

How many people have actually taken a Didi (China's Uber), have used Baidu (China's Google), or shopped on online retailers like JD/Taobao? It's not all peaches-and-roses in China, but most people have no idea about the rapid modernization that's happened in the past decades - and folks are commenting on the state of AI China... Respect to Sundar, but given Google's lack of presence in China, he's not the best person to ask - Nadella or Cook would have been better options - Microsoft has a big team in Beijing, and Apple has manufacturing as well as a strong retail presence in the country. Can folks actually do a bit of research first?

[@shanghaiffgg]

I live in China and have used all of these. While the apps themselves are very smooth to use the AI within them is basic.
