Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, recently discussed in a program the company's plight of having $175 billion but unable to buy enough memory chips, as well as the details of the next "SpaceX-level" bets such as space data centers.Pichai said that due to the volume of wafer production, memory supply and infrastructure construction speed, even if Google has a capital expenditure plan of hundreds of billions of dollars, it will still be difficult to fully implement it in the short term.
He predicts that 2027 will be an important inflection point for artificial intelligence to change the way we work.
In terms of long-term technical layout,Google is simultaneously advancing multiple cutting-edge directions such as quantum computing, space data centers, robots, and drone delivery.
Pichai revealed that the company is already in the earliest stages of thinking about space data centers, and quantum computing is also one of its long-term key areas of advancement.
Talking about AI startups, Pichai pointed out,Startups newly established in the past two years clearly have the advantage of being more "AI native", while mature companies like Google need to go through processes such as retraining and organizational transformation.
