Google has made a big comeback and has now consolidated its three major divisions: Android, Chrome, and Pixel under a single umbrella. Essentially called platforms and devices. This step has great significance in shaping the long-term AI direction in which each software and hardware component will be optimized.
Rick Osterloh, who will lead the integrated team, comments on the importance of AI innovation being push-meets-poll. He says that ‘full-stack innovation’ has been achieved through the merger which will bring hardware, software, and AI professionals into a single close circle of collaboration. It is noteworthy that the company has a Google DeepMind executive and two Google Research teams specializing in image computing and machine intelligence.
Imagine a world dominated by these advancements in AI-powered manufacturing processes, resulting in a fundamental reshaping of patient care. Innovative cameras embedded with AI models can fit into existing Pixel phones 8 and Pixel 8 Pro without any hassle; This is just the performance of the latest Pixel. This level of subsurface AI, hardware, and software synergy is the goal Google is pursuing.
Osterloh highlights the benefits for users: “We can update its software more frequently as well as design products for long-term use,” is what he means by this. Expect the lifespan of your smartphone or laptop to be extended by artificial intelligence that will keep its software updated to the latest version.
The restructuring also helps Google improve its decision-making processes. CEO Sundar Pichai is confident that the new team will eliminate the various stages and processes of developing tangible AI functions. Overall, Google’s rewiring implies the ambition of an AI-oriented future by assembling a single ecosystem that is enhanced by the features provided by AI in the context of Chrome OS, Android, and Pixel devices.
