Google CEO Sundar Pichai joined the company in 2004 as a product manager. Since then, he's had a meteoric rise through the ranks before becoming CEO of Google in 2015 and then CEO of parent company Alphabet in 2019. During his tenure, he has focused the company on its cloud computing business - Google Cloud. He has also made deep investments in artificial intelligence, despite being beat to market by Microsoft partner OpenAI in 2022 with the blockbuster ChatGPT product. In an interview for "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations," Pichai dives into his fundamental belief that artificial intelligence is comparable to fire and electricity in its capacity as a new technology to cut across "every sector, everywhere." Pichai also addresses Google's mounting legal woes, as the company faces multiple antitrust suits from the Department of Justice and elsewhere. This interview was recorded September 20 in New York.
