Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, was interviewed by Emily Chang at Bloomberg before the big Google I/O event. They talked a lot about a lot of things, but there was 25-second clip where they spoke about core search quality. As you can imagine, he didn’t say much but he did respond.
Emily Chang asked at the 8:10 mark into the video interview:
Some leading computer scientists have said Search is getting worse, more SEO spam, et cetera. Do you see their point?
Sundar Pichai replied:
Anytime there’s a transition, you get an explosion of new content, and AI is going to do that. So for us, we view this as the challenge, and I actually think, you know, there’ll be people who will struggle to do that, right?
So doing that well is what will define a high-quality product, and I think it’s gonna be the heart of what makes Search successful.
