Wrong.
Like all good McKinsey trained goons, Sundar has been trained to jump on existing established trends.
He did realize the size of the AI swell when it was already very big and hopped on the gravy train.
The deep net powered AI revolution started way before Sundar ever realized it was important.
And all of this is nice, but none of the dollars poured into AI R&D at Google have been converted to a world changing product.
Sure, you can now get Google to recognize your pet in your photos.
But given all the shite they invented since 2010-ish in the AI domain, you'd think they'd have found a way to make something useful with it.
I can think of maybe three places where AI really shines in Google products: translate, photos and spam filtering. That's it. Given the billions poured in the AI R&D black hole, that's really nothing to be proud of as a CEO.
