Couldn't you say they were a big data company as well? It seems that all that consumer data is what makes them such an effective ad company.

- ocdtrekkie 11y agoYeah, but Google did a huge marketing push that they're an "AI company" recently because that sounds a lot more scifi than the reality that Google's primary revenue stream isn't that different from a company that does cold calls. Marketing isn't exactly appealing to consumers. ;)
- th0br0 11y agoBut the big data is essentially just the knowledge base for the AI.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoI would say their goal to sort and organize the world's data is right in line with their existence as an AI company. You're not wrong at all that they make tons of money in ads, but then that is also significantly understating the role of communication and Google's role in communication these days.
