A Google VP said the updates are "a pretty dramatic shift from where we were before." Advertisement"From a user perspective, this is a pretty dramatic shift from where we were before," said Rhiannon Bell, vice president of user experience for Google Search, in a roundtable with reporters. Of course, it leads to questions about how Google Search rankings — an ever-changing, ever-elusive algorithm — will work with these new formats. Using Google Lens to searchGoogle is upgrading Lens, a feature that uses the phone camera to search for information about what it sees. "Today, 20% of all Google Lens searches are actually shopping-related, which is pretty interesting," said Lens product director Lou Wang.

☆ If Google is doubling down on risky AI features, experts say it needs to be clear about what can go wrong
  + stars: | 2024-06-15 | by ( Ana Altchek | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
AdvertisementGoogle notes that "Generative AI is experimental" in AI Overviews. Google is far from the only company figuring out the risks of generative AI products. Microsoft also said on Thursday that it would hold off on launching an AI tool intended to be available when its CoPilot PCs ship after privacy concerns arose. The alternative is to be more gradual about releasing features and not place them at the center if they're not fully ready, he said. But while generative AI isn't fully bulletproof at the moment, it's important to balance timing with innovation and accuracy, Yamin said.

Read previewSince ChatGPT burst onto the scene in 2022, there's been no real "killer app" to get consumers embracing AI in massive numbers. The internet, possibly the biggest killer app of all, made us all buy smartphones, tablets, and a host of other connected devices. AI killer app contendersAt its IO developer conference on Tuesday, Google showed off some pretty amazing AI killer app contenders. A Google AI model lurking on the phone (and in the cloud) answered correctly. The Google AI agent captured all the dates, times, and other details and automatically loaded them into the user's Google Calendar.

A Meta product manager who also worked at Google in a similar role revealed some differences between the tech companies based on his experiences over the past six years. AdvertisementCompany transparencyMeta does maintain some of the transparency the company was known for in its earlier days, McKinnon wrote. At Meta, McKinnon was aware of what other teams were working on, partly through the company's internal forums and dashboards. At Google, employees mostly communicate through email or chat, so it's more difficult to know what everyone is doing, McKinnon wrote. At Google, McKinnon saw that projects were largely created and led by software engineers, and PMs played a more auxiliary role.

Y Combinator's Demo Day, which will wrap up today, was long considered the event for early-stage startups.

And companies that get investments before Demo Day might regret it in the long run.

☆ A Google VP says the top trait she looks for when hiring people is a 'growth mindset' because they are willing to innovate
  + stars: | 2023-09-06 | by ( Sawdah Bhaimiya | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Google's Asia Pacific vice president said its most successful employees have a "growth mindset." She explained that among Google's most successful staff "a growth mindset is a common characteristic … It's one of the biggest drivers of good performance and results." Part of having a growth mindset is viewing "your career not as a ladder to climb, but a jungle gym," which means being focused not just on moving up but across different areas to broaden your skillsets, Chadha said. O'Keefe offered advice on developing a growth mindset, emphasizing that it's all about nurturing your curiosity to increase your knowledge in different areas. A former Google recruiter of five years, Jeff Sipe, recently told Insider that "soft skills are just as important" when trying to land a job in tech.

☆ Google's new A.I. search could hurt traffic to websites, publishers worry
  + stars: | 2023-05-11 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Instead of "ten blue links," the phrase that describes Google's usual search results, Google will show some users paragraphs of AI-generated text and a handful of links at the top of the results page. But website publishers are already worried if it becomes Google's default way of presenting search results, it could hurt them by sending fewer visitors to their sites and keeping them on Google.com. Rutledge Daugette, CEO of TechRaptor, a site focusing on gaming news and reviews, said Google's move was made without considering the interests of publishers and Google's AI amounts to lifting content. According to Search Engine Land, a news website that closely tracks changes to Google's search engine, the AI-generated results are displayed above the organic search results in testing so far. CNBC previously reported Google's plans to redesign its results page to promote generated AI content.
☆ Google VP says this is the No. 1 question you should always ask at job interviews
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Asking smart, thoughtful questions can help you make a lasting impression on the hiring manager and figure out if the role you're interviewing for is the right fit for you. There is one question, in particular, that you should "always" ask at the end of the interview, says Jenny Cheng, vice president and general manager of Google Wallet. Most of the time, in their response, they will reveal something that you might not have even realized was important to them in hiring, Cheng explains. If the hiring manager asks you to clarify an earlier response or elaborate more on one of the skills on your resume, this is your chance for a re-do. Or, "They might tell you, 'Your experience is really impressive, you're one of my top candidates,'" Cheng adds.
☆ Google drops global vaccine requirement to enter buildings, says 'world is in a very different place'

"We put in place emergency measures such as our Covid-19 vaccine policy to keep everyone safe, but now the world is in a very different place.

Based on this, we’re now lifting our global vaccine policy. Covid-19 vaccines have been a critical part of our overall strategy to keep Googlers safe, especially in the workplace.
☆ Google VP says this is the best way to build a 'happier, more successful' career

Jenny Cheng likens her career to Goldilocks' search for the perfect bowl of porridge: She tried different roles at different companies, but none fit "just right." "Google had been talking to me on and off for years, but it was never the right time or quite the right role," says Cheng, who just celebrated one year as the vice president and general manager of Google Wallet. She got the call about the open role at Google Wallet in early 2022, about 10 months after leaving her VP role at PayPal, where she worked for four years. Before taking the job at Google, Cheng asked herself two questions to make sure the job aligned with her values and goals: "Is this work I am passionate about?" The secret to building a "happier, more successful career," Cheng has discovered, can be boiled down to two rules: Find work you're passionate about, and people you like doing it with.

☆ Harvard career expert: The No. 1 'desirable skill' that very few people have—especially men

These people shouldn't just have different knowledge domains. A groundbreaking study by Harvard Business School professor Boris Groysberg found that workers, especially men, often take their professional networks for granted. Communities created through Slack and similar messaging tools are a great way to spur virtual forms of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge distribution. Previously, she was a professor at Harvard Business School. Heidi earned master's degree from the London School of Economics, and a second PhD from London Business School.
☆ A Google VP shares her favorite interview question to get an honest reaction from candidates — and how to answer it

When interviewing as a young computer scientist, she was asked a question that had a lasting impact. One of my favorite aspects of leading the Google Assistant team is meeting with prospective candidates during the interview process. After 16 years at Google, I've had the opportunity to find my personal interview style. It was a question that had a lasting impact on me, and one that's become my favorite to ask now. In all my years of conducting interviews, I've never heard a "canned" response to this question — it elicits genuine, honest reactions.
