Google CEO Sundar Pichai on how he and his kids use AI at home

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has made artificial intelligence (AI) a core focus for the company. In addition to offering AI-powered tools to Google users, Pichai utilises them to assist in his children's education. He also said that the company is ready for the frenzy around the AI technology.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Pichai was asked how he is experimenting with AI at home with kids.He said he helps his son with homework.
“We use Google Lens for homework. I don’t want to get him in trouble, but the class allows you to do that,” Pichai said
“But sometimes he asks me for help on math. Sometimes I’m lazy and I pretend as if I’m thinking but I’m also using Google Lens to kind of figure out the answer,” he added. Pichai is father to a daughter and a son.

‘Google prepared for frenzy around AI’
While discussing the excitement around AI, Pichai said that all tech cycles are “this way” but AI is bigger.
“We still have a long way to go. We are in [the] early stages of that. And so you’re going to feel that excitement, that frenzy. But I think we are prepared for it,” Pichai said.
“So you kind of roll with the flow. You embrace it,” he added.
Pichai also talked about how the company purportedly lost the chatbot moment to OpenAI and Microsoft.
“We weren’t the first company to search. We weren’t the first company to do email. We weren’t the first company to build a browser...So I view this AI as we are in the earliest possible stages,” he said.
On the competition posed by Microsoft, OpenAI and other AI companies, the Google CEO said that there’s always a lot of competition when it comes to technology.
“We see it all the time. The way you stay ahead is by innovating relentlessly. It has to be true all the time. It’s happening at a faster pace. Technology changes tend to get faster over time. So it’s not surprising to me at all,” he added.
