Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc., announced the company's commitment to increasing its engineering team through at least 2026, emphasizing the enduring significance of human talent amid expanding AI capabilities. This contrasts with other tech companies, like Microsoft, that have reduced staff to allocate more funds toward AI. Despite the promises of AI, Pichai acknowledged the technology's limitations, particularly in achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). He reassured concerns regarding AI-generated content affecting web traffic, indicating Google's dedication to maintaining a quality online experience for users.
I expect we will grow from our current engineering base even into next year, because it allows us to do more with the opportunity space.

So are we currently on an absolute path to AGI? I don't think anyone can say for sure.
Compared to most companies in the world, we take care to design an experience which is going to showcase links.
