It came almost 12 months after Google combined two key AI groups, DeepMind and Google Brain. Google's AI MVPGoogle DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis GoogleDemis Hassabis might be the most important person at Google right now. Then, in April last year, Pichai announced he would merge DeepMind with Google's in-house AI unit, known as Brain, into a supergroup named Google DeepMind. Reid reports directly to Raghavan, the ads and search senior vice president, and is shepherding a dramatic transition of Google Search. Fears of chatbots eating into Google's search dominance have yet to be realized, giving Google time to reinvent its most hallowed product.

Google on Wednesday unveiled a next-generation Pixel smartphones lineup that will be infused with more artificial intelligence tools capable of writing captions about photos that can also be altered by the technology. As has become common across the industry, most of the other technology in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones unveiled Wednesday will be similar to what has already been available in last year’s models. One of the main selling points of the new phones will be improved cameras, including more AI-empowered editing tools that will mostly be available on the Pixel 8 Pro. That will result in the Pixel 8 selling for $700 and the Pixel 8 Pro for $1,000 when they go on sale in stores next week. Despite generally getting positive reviews, the Pixel phones have barely made a dent in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple since Google began making the devices seven years ago.

Google's AR glasses were beset by a messy strategy, company insiders say. Google's AR fumbles have proven frustrating for employees in the face of mounting competition from Apple and Meta. "They're dabbling," one insider said of Google's AR efforts. Ramin Talaie/Getty ImagesNorth leaders were told they would lead a new project under Google's hardware boss, Rick Osterloh, and Google's AR and VR leader, Clay Bavor. A small group inside the AR division is also exploring how artificial intelligence could be used with AR glasses, a source said.

Googlers pressed leadership at a town hall on Monday on why managers weren't informed beforehand. Leadership responded saying that the company wanted to "give certainty sooner." At an internal town hall meeting on Monday, Google's leadership addressed two questions about why managers weren't informed about the mass layoffs and one question about the company's communication strategy about the layoffs. "In an ideal world, we would have given managers a heads up, but we have over 30,000 managers at Google," Cicconi said on the call. Another question asked about how in a "perfect world," managers would have been given a heads up, but they weren't informed due to a "tight timeline."
Google CEO Sundar Pichai led the companywide meeting and told employees that executives will see their bonuses cut. "I understand you are worried about what comes next for your work," Pichai said. Prior to the job cuts, Google had made the decision to pay out 80% of bonuses this month with the rest expected in March or April. Thomas Kurian, the CEO of Google Cloud, offered some perspective on the areas that saw cuts. Last month, Google employees asked executives at an all-hands meeting whether the AI chatbot ChatGPT represents a "missed opportunity" for Google."
