Sundar Pichai announced Prabhakar Raghavan's departure from his role overseeing search and ads and appointed Nick Fox as his successor, emphasizing a drive for speed in AI development.
Raghavan, who led ads and commerce since 2018 and was promoted to oversee Google Search in 2020, will transition to chief technologist, marking a significant role change.
Pichai noted that this leadership shift aims to bolster Google's efforts amid increasing competition in the artificial intelligence sector and ongoing antitrust challenges.
In a related move, Google will halt election ads on its platforms after polls close on November 5, as part of its advertising policy adjustments.
