Sundar Pichai: Running the Google Empire features an in-depth interview with Google’s CEO. Conducted by the BBC Economics Editor Faisal Islam, Pichai opens up on what it’s like to lead a multi-trillion-dollar internet company, and what he calls an “unprecedented time” in Silicon Valley.
At a time when Google and the rest of the global tech industry is pouring trillions of dollars into developing AI – potentially fuelling a huge AI bubble – the BBC visits the Google campus to grill Pichai about what AI means for tech jobs, the truth about climate change, and where Google is investing.
